    Does Boxing revolve around America?

    Does the sport revolve around the United States?

    It seems your a lesser fighter until you come to the states and beat the champions there instead of fighting mandatories and voluntary defenses in your home country.

          Not anymore.

          The center of boxing has gradually been shifting to Europe.

            No not at all. If anything America has ruined boxing. PPV and 24/7 have killed boxing as a mainstream primetime sport.

                Only in the eyes of American elitists. Being an American myself, I don't think like that at all. I don't care where you are from, if you are good, I will recognize it.
                There are a lot of american boxing fans in denial about this.

                  No, boxing is becoming less and less centric around America. I'd say Germany is taking the lead...

                    To be a legend you have to fight in America - forgot who said this.
