You just think that, because PRIDE was so huge in Japan in the late 90's, but boxing has been big in Asia. The #1 reason you don't see alot of the good Asian fighters in America is because they end up making more fighting in their backyard. American promoters don't offer enough $$$ to make it worth their while. And also the American promoters don't feel there's that big of a fanbase to build off of.
Things are slowly changing though.
