Why don't American fighters fight outside the US?

I guess this thread is satire,but I can see why a lot of people don't like fighting abroad (eg Reid vs Ottke, Holyfield vs Valuev,etc).

Chad Dawson only fought in the UK once while Hopkins fought in Ecuador to obtain his belt but never returned there on vacation. Steve Cunningham fought outside the US a measly four times, twice in Poland where he received his belt, then in Germany and once in South Africa. It is quite pitiful to be honest. Winky Wright is another sad example. How can a fighter only leave his country twenty times? Sad, truly sad. Timothy Bradley only went over to obtain his belt from Witter in the UK because of Junior's sick father. The mental advantage was too much to pass up. I am sure there are more examples of American cowardess but I don't have the time to type it up. Winky Wright fought an outstanding number of fights outside of the states.How many did Junior Witter fight out of his? How many did Calzaghe fight outside of the UK? Not half as much.Does that make them cowards? The truth is,it doesn't matter-you are clutching at straws. Witter now and Witter then couldn't beat Bradley.I hear people bitching about "yanks" not traveling,and when they do-people just whinge anyways.

Most of the biggest TV exposure and fights are in the US. And US fighters are wary of bein robbed on decisions overseas. Just to clarify are you a Yank?

lol, Yea i was wondering about the reason why Bradley only took the Witter fight because he knew Witter's father was sick or dying....Thats why i didnt go all out in my previous post when i replied to the thread. Yea, but Winky only did fight outside the US twenty times. I think that was even worse than Bradley's agenda.lol

Hopefully you could see the sarcasm/irony in the OP. lol, Yea i was wondering about the reason why Bradley only took the Witter fight because he knew Witter's father was sick or dying....Thats why i didnt go all out in my previous post when i replied to the thread.

Typical yank post. Everything is fair in America, right? Typical non yank post... Assuming he is a yank. Many Americans/ non Americans can see crooked judging all of the world even in America. Way to generalise.

And this can be said also for others as well. BULLSHIT THREAD I agree, it is a bullshit thread.

mostly cause countries outside the US are known to be dirty at judgeing Typical yank post. Everything is fair in America, right?

they dont need to,money etc-and u can only be great once u have fought in america apparently I guess all the Americans that left to fight elsewhere are not as great....

Don't bring satire into this thread. No one will understand it. what you mean dude

Because they don't have to. When you have the belts your opponents must come to you. simple as that :cool2:

because USA is the land of opportunity. Don't bring satire into this thread. No one will understand it.

One word: Money

because USA is the land of opportunity.

I guess no one knows the meaning of irony! didn't read it lol

Because they don't have to. When you have the belts your opponents must come to you. That is exactly what Hopkins/Cunningham and Bradley did.

I guess no one knows the meaning of irony! I thought everybody would have got it when u said winky left his country 20 times....:lol1:
