No announcement yet.
That's why no one fights in Europe.

When a fighter goes into a location and publicly says, "I need a knockout to win," that means they are acknowledging that they will not get a fair shake.
Even if you knock a guy down and out, they can screw you. Look at what they did to Danny Williams with Konstantin Airich in Turkey, they cut the round short to save the house fighter.
Krasniqi got a 20 count when he was dropped by Brewster in the 8th round.
The referee picked Yoan Pablo Hernandez off the floor when Big Truck Braithwaite took his head off.
Sven Ottke. Period.
You get the idea.

You criticize America for being racist and you know what? And you know what? Your **** ass so called progressive countries wouldn't elect a black guy in a million years. You're a tell continent, while America is a show country. Your continent is a dinosaur. YOu're only place is in the ****ing history books. Why don't you guys start a war or something so that AMerica can bail you *** balls out again.

Originally posted by jreckoning View PostYeah, it's no secret that most fighters make much more in Germany etc than in the U.S.
Only our very top guys do better financially in the U.S.
If a deal cannot be worked out between a champion and a mandatory challenger, the sanctioning body puts the fight to a purse bid. There promoters can place bids on fights and whoever has the highest bid owns the rights to put the fight wherever they see fight.
Look at the situation with Dawson and Diaconu. Gary Shaw, Dawson's promoter, put in a lower bid than Diaconu's promoter. Why? Because stateside the fight does not generate near as much money as it does overseas.

I doubt he would make that much there.
Germany sure. Romania, hell no.
