I looked at him for a short while, in a "hey, I know that guy! What was his name?" way - and he seemed to become scared of me for some unfathomable reason, due to the bit of attention.
My theory is that professional fighters get leery of public attention due to the increased likelihood of being challenged to a random fight on the spot due to them being pro fighters, whether the challenger is kidding or not.
That was my thought too. I've seen cases of that often, guys mouth off etc., either they "never made it" and want to try now, or just ego, jealousy of the guy's success, the works. I get static from guys, usually when they're half-pissed, for the same kind of reason at times. Just a side-effect of success.
I'm very curious, I follow boxing a lot, I wonder who it was. Have at ye, you can message me in a PM if you want for privacy, but I'm very curious who it was.
