I dont understand the logic behind this at all. I mean for example, would UK like Amir Khan more as an amateur kicking ass or as a pro kicking ass, winning world titles, proving the world your countrie's boxers are the best. Most countries would be happy to have some of their boxers show the world what they got. Just look at Pacman, worshiped in the Philippines because he's a world elite as pro, doubt he would get the attention if he was an amateur. What is it with Cuba?
Cuba is a communist country, therefore professional sports aren't allowed for obvious reasons. The cuban fighters and sportsmen alike are national heroes, they are treated like royalty everywhere they go.
