The reason people fight in Europe is simple: That's where the money is.
Where else can Jeremy Bates go and fight and get paid 20K? Or any other sub-standard heavyweight?
Notice, Brian Minto only takes risks in Europe. Why? Because they make the losses worth his while over there.
Germany and Russia pay fighters well because the sponsors actually invest in the sport. In America, they don't invest nearly as much.
