It probably is but it can be a jab at others too. Like Aquacknis Chickenson, George Groves.

How could it be a jab at Groves? He's going to fight for the WBC in Vegas.

Sergio Martinez won his first title in New Jersey vs Kelly Pavlik.

Sven Ottke and Floyd Mayweather refused to fight outside their home country.

Hatton-Mayweather would have filled a stadium in the UK, as would Mayweather-Khan.

Should using home referees and refusing to fight in other countries affect a fighter's legacy?
