    What if the Klitschko fought more in America?

    Hey guys what if the Klitschko's fought more in the USA? yea yea i know they had their fights in MSG, even Staples Center, but i think thats what they should be doing instead of having all these freakin GERMANY venues.

    I mean when Vitali fought Sanders for the WBC at Staples Center that woke up the boxing world to the masses. all the celebs came out and even Entourage made an episode out of vinnie and boys hitting up the fight!

    Personally i think because both Klitschko brothers have been fighting in Germany recently for the majority of their latest fights. the ignorant casual fan loses touch with the heavweights and the whole sport over all.

    i even remember when vitali was set to fight rahman (before the multipul injuries) there was billboards all over california for their vegas fight.

    but when the fights in germany theres no publicity here in the US.

    anyone else feel me?

      There's a bigger market in Germany. And HBO is always on board as a second to RTL.

          because america is not important.

          they are europeans, they fight in europe. what the **** are we gonna do about it? we still got to buy their fights because they are the #1 fighters at heavyweight.

              No, he's dominated all his opponents for the past few years. He would not have lost those fights if they were in the US.

                Where they fight doesn't matter when the quality of opponents is terrible. I don't think it would help or hinder the status of the sport.

                  Yeah, it's pretty hard to complaining about corrupt judging when they are knocking most every guy out

                    u guys are missing the point. in AMERICA its all about LA. the whole country copies and mimicks whats going on in LA, Hollywood, etc.

                    the night Vitali fought Corrie Sanders most of America woke up and took notice.

                    again HBO even had an ENTOURAGE episode about it. Billboards all over sunset strip of vitali's face.

                    i remember even vitali was carrying the olympic torch to F'n tom cruise during the olympic torch ceremonies in LA.

                    if the klitschkos fight in germany most casual americans dont even know they are fighting. plus its live at like 2pm pacific time.
