Lyoto certainly doesn't have a care in the world about americans booing. Why should evens feel responsible to carry all the weight. In fact I'm thinking that might be a intentional psychological tool for lyoto, get the crowd booing to pressure his opponent into making a mistake. To me the thing about this fight is the fighters and the implications. If this was just two guys, then the crowd would have more justification for expecting a slugfest for their buck. But with two undefeated guys, in the prime of their careers, fighting for the belt, this fight is more important and the entertainment value is deeper than just a visceral thrill. Even if it is a slow chess match, I'll still be fascinated by every move and in anticipation of the outcome. Unfortunately its the mobs of howling drunk fratboys who pay the bills, so they'll probably be booing within a minute. Fluck'em in this example, IMO. Sounds fair.
