why won't euro boxers fight in U.S.?

[BrooklynBomber]

because they make more money in Europe then here.
Why bother coming down here for less money, while you can fight in comfortable settings down there in Europe and for more money.

[El Jesus]

to tell you the truth...Hatton fighting in boston, is basically the closest thing to an american backyard for him.

[machotime]

When they come to the US, they have to follow the rules, and most of the time they lose.

[AintGottaClue]

sven ottke ruined the whole damn euro fighters reputation

[Easy-E]

He will probably face Toney, Sultan, Brock or even Austin.

[blockhead]

they dont come here because they dont have to. look at how many titles are held by europeans right now. why come here and fight in that **** hole vegas when they can spare themselves the suffering of that ****ed up city.

[Googler]

we have 2 great euro middleweight in the world, germany native Sturm and Abraham. why won't they fight in the states? is it the money issue or they want to keep their good records by fighting C class fighter in europe? i really want to see them step up and fight real contenders. Sturm is fighting Javier Castillejo next month. what does Sturm have to gain to fight a ageing former title holder? at least Abraham is set to fight Edison Miranda (a real contender) in Aug. i hope they could stop hiding in their backyard and come oversea to fight.

WHy the **** arent US boxers fighting in Europe? Why do you guys have the notion that title fights should be in the US? Europe is taking over boxing and soon US boxers will be forced to go to Europe and not the other way around. So stop thinking that if theyre good boxers they should come to the states. No. I got the belt and Im from Germany you gotta come get it if u want it.

i believe that U.S. is and always will be the mecca of boxing. where did the recognized world title began? hmm.... U.S., NYSAC and National Boxing Association started from U.S. they were the one of the first boxing organization in the world. if a fighter is a champ or a contender, they should come to U.S. to fight.

one more thing, europe is not taking over boxing... only division that they are good at is heavyweight.
