Do Cuban Boxers not Interest American Promoters?

I'd love to have seen Kindelan as a pro. That guy just oozed class.

Not to mention two dozen other great Cubans who've trampled over all-comers in the amateurs.

yeh but even you would go in the ring with tyson for 10mill and also felix savon has like 1000xs more chance of beating tyson than you.

They cant because its illegal for them to do so, not because they love the ams, get real. Youre telling me that they dont want to make money to feed their families, when they are in a poor country. They didnt fight over here because they couldnt and still cant.

Like Fidel Castro would let Felix Savon pocket 10 million off of a fight, you dont know much about Cuba do you? I think most of the fighters sign with promoters that they first meet. Most of the time, Cubans defect while in South America or Europe, and as shady as big promoters can be, i doubt theyre willing to risk their names to help people defect which is illegal.

Unless its against rules, how can DLH,TOP RANK, and even DKP let guys like Yuriorkis Gamboa, Odlanier Solis, Yoan Pablo Hernandez, and Yan barthelemy get away and be with German Promoter Ahmet Oner's Arena Productions? Those 4 can all be p4p top 10 one day.

Yuriorkis Gamboa and Solis have just signed with Gary Shaw,they will be promoted by Arena Productions and Shaw promotions for there next couple of fights,good news indeed,Shaw has got them a spot on HBO
