why inoue fans are so against him fighting in the US... "bu bu but he makes more in japan"...

They're not against him fighting in the US, he's already fought in the US and the UK besides why would he, he makes way more in Japan and the exposure for BOTH fighters is greater...

Americans don't care about divisions south of 35 generally speaking and partial to ignoring divisions that don't involve them e.g. cruiserweight or most divisions below 35 were most fighters are Asian or Mexicans...

It got "lost in translation " because the JBC doesn't want Inoue to fight in America.

This fiThis should be in Vegas not Inoue backyard.

Isn't the money for this fight in Japan? Is Nery a big name in the States? It's going to sell out a stadium in Japan.

OFC the money is in Japan no one at 22 is making multiple seven figure paydays if they aren't involving Inoue

Don't waste your time on this clown. He's been told this all before, but is still convinced that there's this vast untapped market in the US for Inoue if he'd only fight in the US. Never mind that Inoue's already fought in the US. It's a REALLY persistent delusion.

I am against it. Nery broke his plate; let him eat somewhere else. The Japanese gave Nery two passes already. Yamanaka was on a roll and Nery did him dirt. First Nery peed isotopes, then he came in fat. The only gain would be revenge, if Nery doesn't fudge again.

who TC fighting?

The promoters and Time.

Mark my words Nery will be clean and ko the so called monster! Fools that don’t know boxing label these guys monsters! Nery by 8rd TKO. Mexicans are the top of dethroning Japanese in their own back yard than any other fighter from somewhere else! Don’t say I didn’t tell you!

May 6th is part of the Golden Week holidays in Japan, which is by far the biggest vacation season outside the New Years holidays and the most money is spent on average per day. So May 6th, end of August, end of December will be the ideal three match year for Inoue.

Note that if not for the injury and delay, the Inoue Fulton match was supposed to be on May 7th 2023.

"plans are contingent upon the Japanese Boxing Commission (JBC) agreeing to lift Nery’s indefinite suspension" This is the key right here so not getting my hopes up until I see this happen

Lol this sh^t is so weird. Ngl it'd be hilarious if the JBC lifts Nery's suspension so Monster could beat his ass & then Nery beats Monster. Wonder if they'd re-suspend him if he beat Monster.
