    That's like saying higher education doesn't revolve around the USA anymore. But all the best colleges are still in the states. So are the great boxing venues.

    The greatest fighters too. Floyd, BHOP, RJJ, straight back through Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Ali, back to Jack Johnson.

    UK has great fans though.
    not gonna deny it had the best fighters.... america has the best boxing history by a long way.

      If AJ and wilder fight it'll most likely happen in Vegas

      Are you catching the pattern
      rigo v lomachenko was a box office flop. americas still a big player in boxing but all im saying is its not like how it used to be, you dont have to go over there to prove yourself.

        Just like the fact the US super fights generate waaay more money than UK super fights isn’t enough evidence for you to understand that the US remains at the forefront of the boxing industry.

        You’re a little slow you seem to have a problem understanding FACTS.🙈🙈🙈

          Don't see them running to the UK.......

          If you want to be a big name in boxing, or make good money, you still gotta come to the USA.

          Deal with it


          All you got is Joshua and desperately trying to hang onto him
          Agreed the uk market is a really big one but more so for British fighters because the fans are pretty loyal to their fighters. But if you want to be the worlds biggest star you have to fight in the US

            Boxing has never revolved around just the US so much as the money has & it still does.

            Sure you can make more money in more places now than previously, but you are still getting the best possible money in Las Vegas. Thats the reality. And its not in dispute at all to the mfers paying attention.

                The point you made is that Al Haymon is somehow responsible for boxing dwindling when he was fighting to have boxing on national TV while detractors were too busy bashing him and others in the business were too busy putting the kibosh on him.

                Joshua would be unknown because he wouldn't be that much of a novelty. World heavyweight champs are still a novelty in the UK.

                Same thing here in Canada. Guys like Stevenson and Pascal are household names, but that's only because we just started having champions that are known internationally.

                The same is happening with guys like Parker in New Zealand and that teacher guy from Australia.

                  yeah its at the forefront but its not what it was, if someones a bigger attraction in there home country they dont have to run to america to 'prove themself'. theres no buzz in american boxing. you and others can all have a pop at me for saying whats what, but you should be directing your anger at people like haymon.
