I don't think so TS. Foreign fighters have indeed had trouble after signing with US promoters, but not if they're marketable and/or have the goods. There's a large immigrant Russian population in the US, Lomachenko has a fan-friendly style, and he speaks very good English, much better than GGG. He knows how the game works and he's always wanted to be a star in the US.

As to Joshua, I think it's a good thing he signed with Matchroom. It gets him the most exposure and Eddie Hearn's winning the UK promotion wars at the moment.
