    Is German boxing taking over the world?

    With the American boxers declining in numbers and Britain only have Joe Calzaghe for one more fight the mecca of boxing is surely looking to shift to Germany.
    Its all high quality fights and the boxers are well looked after, theres no promoters like Don King stealing money from everyone.
    Theres plenty of arenas all over Germany and sell out for the well promoted shows put on.
    Do you see Germany being the homeland of boxing in the 10 years?

        Would you like to elaborate, German shows are much better promoted, much more popular, more and more world champions are becoming German based, even some US fighters are signing with German outfits for better treatment.

            Yes. Obviously. Oh wait. Did I say yes? I meant to say no. No, you're ridiculous.

              German boxing has been on the up-and-up since Henry Maske and the reunion. German promoters has kept renewing their succes by using german speaking super-talented imports.

              Germany might be a superpower, with potential of future growth, in the boxingworld thanks to some great promotors, but I wouldn't exactly call it a take-over. The US will remain the biggest market for a long time.

                Yes, that's why Abraham-Miranda II took place in America.

                  Yes I believe German boxing is taking over the world. It owes it all to its revolutionary blitzkrieg tactics.

                    Yes but German based.

                    The way i see it is that the promoting in other countries is going to have to drastically improve or more and more fighters will sign up to the promoters who are doing a better job for their fighters.
