Big Fights featuring Non-Americans should no longer be in America

[Earl-Hickey]

Katsidis-Marquez
Khan-Maidana

Both fights that could of done 20,000 in a lot of other countries, did 5,000 and 3,000 in America.

Both were F.O.T.Y contenders and America didn't seem to care about them

[el malo]

khan vs maidana did less than 5,000

I agree both these fights wouldve done more else where!!!

Ur probably right, but some of these fighters feel they don't make it big until they fight in America.

the casinos will always pay big money to have it to draw in the whales....

i agree with you it sucks seeing such low attendances boxing is pretty much done in america

[wazaa.]

I agree. They should bring it to Amsterdam.

if a shot morales brings in 20K and margarito sells out after being inactive in Mexico and Canelo sells out as well, make fights in MX please.

Not sure how all of the business works, but I'm guessing fighters can't get HBO type money overseas and HBO won't pick it up overseas because of the time slot. Plus HBO exposure is one of the best things that could happen to your career.

I just don't know why they'd fight here. Must be a good reason.

I really don't know. If I'm wrong, then I agree with the TS 100 percent.

Don't know how JMM fights don't draw bigger crowds? He rarely disappoints.
