Fighters not being able to speak english is a disgrace

[TheIronMike]

America used to be at the center of the boxing world - all the money was here, so all the best fighters had to fight here.

That isn't how it works anymore.

Which of the top 5 earning fighters don't speak english?

I completely agree

i watch boxing for the fights. i usually turn it off after the official result of the fight. i don't need to hear someone thank al haymon or god in english or hear someone speak fluent english to say "you'll have to talk to my promoter". a good fight is a good fight, and that's why we're here. let's be honest, the british can't even speak english.

Most of these boxers are from poor difficult backgrounds, and only a tiny few make it to the top. They are training like crazy just to have a chance, and you expect them to also learn a second language?

We're not talking about fluency. Just being able to answer typical interview questions. Literally can be done in less than 60 days, with 5 minutes of speaking a day.

They have time to hit the club and marry these whores and pop out kids but can't do anything other than fight......low iq is low iq I guess.

do i get a prize?

i deserve some type of accolade for bringing heavier artillery than the "we'll see a 150-0 fighter in the near future" guy.
