Why don't Americans fight outside their own country?

[LOLORSKATES]

Malignaggi isn't big time? Foreman and Ali weren't big time?

Troll job. I don't know why I'm responding.

Foreman, Ali who? He meant like Carl Thompson or Frank Bruno, real super stars yank!

I did ask this at one point. I belive the answer was that because America is the mecca of boxing, their fighters need not fight elsewhere. That is what i was told..

hi.

do you not think somewhere like wembly would bring in alot more money(because it hold 90 thousand people) than cesars palace?

the palace only hold about 20 thousand people.

look at the hatton fight tommorow. 55 thousand people compared to the 20 thousand in las vegas.

plus calzaghe got 50 thousand in cardiff! i think if the british boxing council exploited this i think britian could become the "mecca" of boxing(money wise.)

cheers

The most money can be made in America. You think Ali would have fought in Africa or the Philipines if their governments hadn't backed the fights with their money? You have to be a flat out coward not to leave your country to fight for real money against real fighters in America...

Ali fought in England 3 times, if its good enough for Ali, its good enough for anyone.

No, a lot of fighters go outside USA and get robbed thats why, look at Gerald McClellan, he practically won that fight in the early rounds, he had Nigel knocked on the ropes.....

It's a no brainer. America is where the big things are at. Most of all good boxers are found in the US. I'm not saying ALL of the great boxers are currently from the US, I'm just saying that the majority are located on the West, but besides that there's the incentive of money.

It's just like how japanese are the best when it comes to the grand majority of 2d fighters...if you wanna' find a plethora of serious fighting game gamers, look no further than Japan.

because they don't need to. america is the premier league and the rest of the world is no more than division 1 apart from a few exceptions.

[Sin City]

Because they are scared to have the home court advantage taken away..
yup, that's right. I said it!

So because he practically won, but he didn't he was robbed .
