newsflash, boxing doesnt revolve around america any more.

Canelo vs Golovkin would easily fill 100,000 seats at the Dallas Cowboys stadium and surpass Wembley.

But Las Vegas always means more money for the fighters and promoters.

If they could fill up Cowboys stadium, they already would have.

You can only be a global icon if you fight in the states? Jeez.

Why, do people around the world outside of the US only watch fights if they take place in the US? They don't watch fights from the UK on their TV like we watch fights on our TV that happens outside of the UK?

The more I read from Americans the more you actually make me sick.

Americans tend to be disgusting in how they view themselves in terms if importance. Not all are like that though.

The Cowboys stadium is always in the running for the big fights, but it can never offer more than Las Vegas does. Despite the 100,000 seat capacity.

That tells you all you need to know about the clout of the Vegas casinos.

Exactly man, the anticipation and excitement that builds is amazing, good shout it’s like a weird energy descends over the place. I’ve only ever been to big fights in Vegas, so I can’t really account for what a smaller card is like out there.

I think the difference is a big fight over here is like one, maybe two nights are part of the event, in Vegas that whole fight week the place is buzzing, from my perspective anyway.

Dam it i wish i could get to go see a fight in vegas. Could just imagine the energy and anticipation for a big fight.
Unfortunately cause of my younger years am not aloud to travel to the USofA. Booh hoo.

NO! Because of Networks like HBO and Showtime still investing in boxing America is and always will be the MECCA OF BOXING! Even Eddie Talked about how American Promoters get Network Money so hey don't have to worry about Tickets Sales and all that stuff like he does. It does somewhat make Promoters Lazy and Cut Corners.

Also it is not about Vegas No more Barclays and New York In Generals seems to be taking Crown as the new Mecca Of Boxing. Even Rumored that AJ would make his US Debut in NY and NOT Vegas that says a lot. Why not take advantage of multiple markets if you can!

But NO America is still the MECCA but the UK is Gaining Ground FOR SURE! Only thing that is keeping the UK from taking over is their Crazy Taxes!

It honestly hasnt for years. Floyd and Pac were the exception. Boxing is only popular in Latin and black culture. I think the average white American does not watch boxing at all.

[Madison Boxing]

Damn man every other post you make is hate towards American, Latin America or any non euro place.

Fuuck off with you’re pro euro pro white agenda.

Someone ban this pos.

Absolute rubbish

[kidbazooka]

Hahahahahaha go and do your research you hillbilly.

So no one knows AJ outside of England? Yet he's the most marketable athlete in the world?

You Americans are beyond help. I actually pity you.

Wow your really fuucking ******.

Please tell me how the fuuuck is Joshua “the most marketable fighter in the world”??? Lol

For fuuck sake even Joshua admitted in an interview a couple months back that Canelo is the top dog in boxing.

Edit here found the article.

So now your gonna probably tell me Joshua is lying???

Look idiot no one in Mexico knows who the fuuck Joshua is but I bet everyone in England knows god damn well who Canelo is.

That’s a fact.

There is truth to this. Most white guys I know who watch MMA are clueless when it comes to boxing. I think it's not in the culture to the same extent. Most non-boxing fans can only name Ali, Tyson and Mayweather.

"Who would win out of Mayweather and Mike Tyson?" is a favourite of mine from non-boxing fans
