I quite literally did. " LOL!!! "
His real fans don't mind if he fights where he will make the most money, and indeed think that he's earned it. They also know where that is, and also that he's already a global superstar, and only doesn't rack up good numbers in the US. I've flown to Japan to watch him fight. Have you? Then STFU about "real fans."
Do YOU support him when he fights in Japan at awkward times for you? Do you get Fuji TV here in the US? CAN you even?
You don't know anything about broadcast rights, for starters, and we've already seen the numbers for his fights in Japan vs his fights in the US. I don't know how you can't understand that he's already done exactly what you are calling for him to do, and it didn't happen the way you claim it was supposed to. Why is it supposed to be different this time? You think he's going to even get close to his 2017 numbers of over 5 million viewers just in Japan? How many viewers did Haney v Lomachenko get? How about Benavidez v Morrell or Andrade? How about Crawford vs anyone at all? Any of Shakur's fights breaking even 2 million viewers? Can you name a SINGLE fight aired in the US in the last 4 years since he fought that pulled anywhere close to 5 million viewers?
Go read the numbers. Numbers don't lie. It's frankly bizarre that you can look at the actual hard evidence and still think the things you do. As usual, you can bring a horse to water, and all that. We're done here.
