convicted felons are not allowed into the US

I'm surprised that the Americans will allow a convicted drug dealer into their country. I guess money talks.

Come on.

Mike Tyson was a convicted felon that was not only allowed to fight, but was allowed to duck registering on the sex offender list for almost 20 years.

Don King was associated with mobsters in the 90s, defrauded numerous boxers, yet he didn't serve a lick of time.

Roman Polanski is being allowed to make money off of his work despite him not even being here.

It's not just the money you have, it's the status. If a person can't defend themselves in court the gov'ment will throw the book at you.

Where Did I call Wilder a megastar?? Mayweather Cotto Mayweather Mosley Mayweather Ortiz... Thurman Porter next.. Theres your American fighters who sold out Vegas... Degale left and Joshua is next.. It's a different type of stardom in America.. Degale sounded like he doesn't want to come back in that fighthype interview. Khan doesn't even claim the UK and never fights there... And Tyson Fury said he fights for Ireland lmao that tells me everything I need to know.. Ali, Mayweather, Joe Louis , Archie Moore Leonard, Robinson all American greatness. The only fighter y'all got in that discussion is Lennox Lewis and he's Jamaican lol

Cotto is from PR, plus them vegas fights were never sold out. Mayweather v mosley sold 15,117, ortiz sold 14,687 capacity at mgm is 17,157.S no they are not your fighters who sold out vegas. Thurman v Porter hasent even happend yet, and there are loads of tickets unsold. check stub hub.Check your facts. plus Lennox was born in London and moved to Canada, was never from Jamaca. I now realize im debating with right tool so go away.

The only real sport the UK has is boxing and pu$$¥ @ss soccer so of course its much easier for a boxer to become a mega star in the UK. On the US we got NBA,NFL UFC hell even hocky does pretty good. Also Don King and the mafia did some irreversible damage to the reputation of boxing in the US to the publics eye that other countrys dont have. For the record I dont think you can even compare the boxing atmospheres US vs UK. UK has got the BEST boxing atmosphere hands down

Both Lennox Lewis parents were Jamaican idiot. He got married and lives in Jamaica.. Puerto Rico is in the United States and Puerto Ricans are American lol you can't be that dumb..and I'm not about to argue about sold out venues ..its the gate that matters anyway..
