What titleholders never fight in foreign countries?

[MDPopescu]

Read my opening post more carefully. That fight wasn't for a title.

And it was a quick stoppage, Ward threw a flurry of feathery punches. So the ref must have been shady in Ward's favor even though the fight happened on an offshore Island.

I've inserted a later edit with 3 minutes before your post here...

Andre Ward is the first name that sprung to mind.

America has the best fighters. There's really no reason to travel

[HanzGruber]

Without a home ref who permits him to foul, how successful would Ward be?

You sound like a ******

[HEND]

Freedom be like "I'm bored, nothing have to do, maybe I should make a thread with the purpose to lowkey bash on Ward/May again but let's throw Huck in too it's less bold then.".

And you really think this is football or what? USA and the UK are the big markets in boxing, not Kazahstan, not Russia, not everything else. Maybe in Europe you can add Germany but that's all. USA leads the boxing business so if a succesfull American boxer fights against a foreigner then it's possibly will get made in the USA as well.
I tell you the important difference if you didn't figure it out already. Kovalev and Golovkin actually wanted to move out from their home country/Europe, not because they wanted foreign referess but because they wanted to earn big money. There are only a few exception of fighters wo are fighting in other countries than the USA and actually make it big. Most of the time they are British fighters because in the UK there are a big viewership of boxing. Another exceptions arethe Klitschkos, they are in Germany and they made it big, but even they were fighting in the USA.
So while European fighters probably at some point of their carrer want/need to go to the USA, the USA fighters usually don't want/need ot go Eurpoe because they earn more money in the USA as almost everyone else, except the British fighters.

STEELHEAD, stop using alts.

Look up the total purse for Povetkin-Klitschko in Moscow, and compare it to the purse for Wilder-Stiverne in Las Vegas.

Froch-Ward would have made much more $$$ in the UK. Ward-Kessler would have made more in Denmark. Ward-Abraham would have made more in Germany.

Yet almost all the top US fighters have fought abroad. Those that haven't are in the small minority.

Truth is when they reach the top the promoters get scared to take the risk of losing and match them up at home where they have more control over officials and judges.

Roy Jones wouldn't have a title fight outside the US, supposedly because he once got a bad decision in an amateur fight in Korea.

Of course now that there is no money for him in America, he's happy to travel overseas to collect a paycheck.

^^^^^^ this

[davidandrei]

nevermind foreign counties. I wish more fighters would fight all over even just the US. I get that Las Vegas is the fight capital of the world but damn I wish these big named fighters would fight in more places. I cant always fly/stay for Vegas but I can damn sure take a train into NYC or drive down to Atlantic city on any given night.
