    Why dont most american fighters fight for there country?

    Does it seem that fighters in America fight for the money first and foremost. Someone like Hatton fights first for his country....It means something to him. Pacquiao fights for the Philippines, Trinidad/Cotto for Puerto Rico as well as others. Here,its about how much an i getting paid. The time i saw an American fight for this country was B- Hop when he beat Trinidad after 9-11

              Because American sports fans for the most part don't care bout boxing, they would rather watch fat guys in baseball caps get paid millions of dollars to jog around a diamond

                  because usually they are fighting other americans in america.
                  when the uk or another country is envolved you see them fight for their country.
                  example: mayweather v. hatton.
                  He came out to born in the usa.
