    Mexicans,Ricans,Cubans,Columbians would stay in their home countires if

    Mexicans,Ricans,Cubans,Columbians would stay in their home countires if they could earn the kind of money British fighters can fighting in there own backyard

    Amir Khan is a millionaire already and he is the commonwealth champ and he never even won the gold

    Audley Harrison got a 4 million pound contract with the BBC when he turned Pro

    be as naive as you want and think Mexicans,Ricans,Cubans,Columbians fight in American to prove themselves but the reallity it is more like they cant make enough money fighting in thier own country and that is more than likely why they go and fight in America

    its need must rather than by design

    How is Khan already on PPV? Amazing! Pacman could sell out any arena in philipines and Margarito could do the same in Mexico.Cotto is a national hero in PR so I think they would all go see him there if thats where he fought.That is just a few examples,most can't generate that kind of money.British fighters can make big bucks in Britain so they should not be critisized for not leaving.

      I agree with that, fighters who can make anything that they consider good money rarely travel out of their country until it is absolutely necessary. Shoot, some guys in Asia and the pacific like to hold titles hostage in their countries and don't like to step out, even though the money isn't that great. But sometimes for the small guys they'll make better money there and will stay there.

          Amir Khan should come to America, face a real challenge like Hatton did and and lose like the overrated commonwealth champ he is!

          Who is Audley Harrison??? yet in England they know who Cotto and Margarito are!

            i agree with this post


            also its debatable whether British fighters should be fighting in the states more regularly but lets not pretend that other fighters from other nations would not do the same in the circumstances

            the reason i say its debatable is because its not like American fighters etc dont have passports is it and if they want to take someones belt why should they have the luxury of having a European fighter come and fight them in their own backyard when they are not the Champion or recognized as the best fighter in that particular division and the other guy is

            i dont know if anyones aware but their is a difference in time zones not to mention the climate that your body has to adjust too

              Did you know someone claimed Hatton lost because of the high temperture of Vegas? Do you think that had something to do with it?

                  The 2nd greatest heavyweight in history, behind Danny Williams. Both will go down in the history books.

                  Acutally only 36 were Taxi Drivers, 1 was a bus driver and the other had recently lost his job as a tax driver and had got a job part-time in Tesco.
