American boxing is alive and well

[BillyBoxing]

Boxing might be alive but there is no interest in boxing in US. No fans, no money, nothing.

Well I disagree, best euros, asians and latino fighters are going to fight in the US for a reason.

The money is in the US.

Well Germany seams to be past it, maybe US can edge it in tearm of money? UK is pretty big right now because they really support their fighters. How is Heavyweight not getting any interest in US is absolutely beyond me tho. That's the division that have always been the biggest.

Germany lost a lot of promoted fighters like Golovkin who went to the US to fight in Vegas and get more money.
Germany mainly relied on their own champ (Huck, Braemer, Abraham, Sylvester ect...) and the Klit bros, they are all retired or past it.


UK is big for their own fighters but that's it, UK fans comes to see UK fighters.

US is still the place business wise with all the Vegas industry.

There is no interest in this Heavyweight Division because the division sucks.
There is only one fight (2 fighters) worth in this division, Joshua VS Wilder.

Number 3 and 4 are an old flat footed cuban who can't cutt off the ring (Ortiz) and a Kiwi (Parker) who can't even beat the Takam and Andy Ruiz of the world clearly.

I completely disagree about heavyweight, I think there are good fights to be made there. US just forgot that all the rest is just an addition to the biggest division in boxing, they need somebody exciting and charismatic to remind them.

I'm not a big HW fan, I think the best (P4P) fighters are from 122 up to 160 sweet science wise. Especially modern HW where dudes +200 lbs are complete clumsy giants.

HW usually relies on their main/best asset and are one trick ponies.

That being said, HW is very exciting I agree here, but how Joshua and Wilder fights is sometimes sloppy AS FCK.

For exemple Wilder will fight next Breatzel and I'm not blaming him for that, US people won't watch it because it's not great boxing sorry, you're just gonna see a great KO.
