Frank Warren Blasts American Boxing

[Ko King 212]

Why did you leave out Chris Arreola for the bold underlined?

because he is Mexican

No one in America gives a damn about the heavy weight division. And that include the Euro fighters as well.

That's why HBO and NBC are investing so much money in building their heavyweight prospects, and why on the eve of Wlad vs Haye they were the most googled people in the US.

[croz]

If US boxing got hit hard after the Berlin wall came just imagine what's going to happen when China gets into the mix. I think boxing is one of the few main American sports where they have to play against other countries.

[New England]

because he is Mexican

arreola was born in california.

he grew up here and fought here. he's an american of mexican descent

mexican american works. but he's not a "mexican fighter." those guys usually have very short amateur careers and turn pro young to make money. arreola had a good amateur career and turned pro in the states.
