      I guess that would explain the silence from those who used to suggest UK boxing was where it’s at.

      You guys are aware that the UK fighters are currently over in the States because broadcasters there are throwing a lot of money at them in order to get them over there?

      Doesn't that suggest that to a degree 'UK boxing was where it's at'. Broadcasters have just seen that and thus tried to capitalise on it by forking out to get fighters over in the US.

        How many American fans are going to pay to go see Fury vs Rivas or Fury vs Parker in the US?

          Whyte came to the US and pitched himself. Fury came to the US for the Wilder fight and said several times that he wanted to stay out there.

          Finally, Hearn has said many times that greater money was in the US. Some idiotic fans ignored what he was saying and pretended that wasn't the case because Wilder "wasn't making any money."
