Donald Trump may have plenty of favor as a Republican party presidential candidate, but he sure lacked support when venturing into Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
Trump was at MSG to watch the Gennady Golovkin fight and even spent some time in the undefeated boxer’s dressing room before the bout. Though he had some VIP treatment from Golovkin’s corner, the rest of the people in attendance weren’t as welcoming.
Reporters stated and video confirms that Trump was heavily booed at the event:

We’d say that Trump brought Golovkin some good luck as the fighter remained unbeaten with an eighth-round TKO over David Lemieux, but the Kazakh tends to take care of business pretty easily on his own.
Maybe Trump was booed because MSG was filled with a bunch of Buffalo Bills fans eager to get back at him for this tweet. Or it could just be that he is a polarizing figure who elicits strong reactions whether they’re positive or negative.
