    Why dosent Chris John recieve any attention whatsoever?

    Chris John beat Marquez who is ranked within the top 5 in the world and also happens to be undefeated.
    The guy has to get his face out there and stop fighting in his backyard, he needs some form of identity otherwise it will take longer for him to get the big money fights.

    Blame his management. It's common for fighters from that region.

          The Indonesians like to keep him to themselves.

            he won't come to the states and his career will languish in obscurity.

              Well he would get exposed if he ever came to the states. He is overprotected overseas.

                His mosquito punching will be judged harshly by Americans.

                And lose.

                  Because most American boxing sportswriters and fans think the world ends at the US border.

                    Because he or his management is scared to take him outside of Indonesia. They were setting up Juarez/John, but Juarez was stalling because a bigger option seemed right over the horizon so he took about a week and the John camp withdrew themselves as an options stating that "John did not have time to waste". This was going to be an undercard on a PPV fight. These dudes didnt want to wait a week for Rocky to sign.

                    In other words, they didn't want to risk it.
