          Yes, a fight involving a countryman OF the country the fight is taking place in, would make money. Very true.

          Would Forrest/Mora make much money fighting in another country? I happen to think it WOULDN'T.

          Fighters from Puerto Rico, Mexico, the U.K., America (obviously), Canada, all come to America for the fights/money. Leaving isn't really a needed thing. For the big fighters in the U.K., they don't have to leave either. They make plenty of fighters. But, if an American fighter is who they want, and an American feels he doesn't have to leave.... ONE fighter has to fold in and travel. The Americans have less of a need, because they have a lot of options, they're in the more (financially) attractive country, overall.

            There's no problem coming to England is there? We can offer a lot more when it comes to attendence and WOULD make money, especially super fights.

              What does that have to do with you question? He fought outside of the US. It goes against the point of this silly ass thread. You didn't say anything about specifics of any of the fights.

                  Joe Cortez ,Eugenia Williams, huge rings & being used to the climate in the states unlike the visiting fighters from Europe

                    I explained that but you decided to edit the rest of my post.

                    If Calzaghe went to America and beat the highly rated Lacy (at the time) he would have got more recognition than when he beat him at Wales.

                      Because America is the Mecca of Boxing.

                      America = Premier League
                      England = League One
