America - Only place on Earth who accept foreign fighters like theirs?


USA is probably only country in the World who accepts all fighters from different parts of the World, treat them fairly & make them a STARS!


Examples:

Roberto Durán - Panaman boxer who gained popularity mostly fighting in US. Inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Manny Pacquiao - Filipino boxer who came & became global PPV star in US.

Arturo Gatti - Italian-Canadian boxer who became a global boxing star fighting US. Also inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez - global Mexican boxing star who mostly fights in US.

Connor McGregor - Irish MMA fighter who was fighting infront of 500 people in Ireland & UK, but since he signed to UFC he became a World famous super star!

Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin - even though not a famous like boxers above, also gained popularity & became global boxing star fighting in US. In Germany he was treated badly by local promoters for years & he had to go to US.

etc.


Name me another country who accept foreign fighters like that: treat them well, make them stars etc.?

Certainly not in Europe, nah.

The US & western Europe both do. They are being punished for their tolerance by being replaced en masse though. Give people an inch they want a mile. I think the rest of the world has learned to never try the same experiment.

Don't agree with that.

US is only country... Europe doesn't accept others like their own.

Germany comes to mind. Abraham, Sturm, Klitschkos, Huck, Krasniqi to name a few, none of them were born in Germany as far as I know. Heck, even Charr, Teper, Hammer, list goes on.

Universum treated GGG badly & favoured their onw fighters like Sturm, who was ducking GGG & paying to WBA to avoid him. So GGG had to leave Germany & go to US, the land of opportunities.

Europe is defo NO in most of the cases. US is the answer!

And USA never accepted the Klitschkos whilst Germany did. This works both ways!

Yeah Europe. Nearly all Germany's top fighters are naturalised Central and Eastern Europeans (think Sturm Abraham and Stieglitz). There's a few Cubans (most notably Perez) found a home on the Emerald Isle, Russians in Spain, loadsa Africans in France - mainly TBF from the ex-colonies. Course the US remains the Mecca of boxing so these guys aren't gonna be as well known internationally, nor are their gonna be as many because the US is just bigger, but they are there.

And in the real world..
Universum box' shutdown was public the 30th of April 2010.

"Der auslaufende Fernsehvertrag mit dem ZDF führt bei der Hamburger Universum Box-Promotion zu drastischen Maßnahmen. Den 15 Mitarbeitern im Verwaltungsbereich ist zum 31. Juli gekündigt worden. Die Zukunft ist ungewiss."

"The failed television-promotion with ZDF has drastic changes for Universum. The 15 administrative workers are cancelled per 31th of July. The future is unknown."


GGG went to USA in May

Also if America is so much better explain Don King and how he treated the fighters.

[Eff Pandas]

I think it might be MORE possible in the US, but I think you could find examples of many countries accepting foreign fighters + becoming some level of popular there.

[redmish]

Americans don't even support US fighters. Ward is treated like a child abuser on here. Floyds treated no better and wilder begs americans to get behind him. Support your own first.
