    How come US boxers (Champions) don’t like travelling?

    These clowns are always telling boxers to come to America if they want to be deemed as legitimate champions but they’ll never leave their own backyard.

    If you’re as good as you claim you’re, you need to start travelling.

    If Josh vs Wilder ever happens, it has to be in a neutral country. Get your bums out of your country, the highest paid boxers aren’t Americans.

      Tax law. Only Americans (and citizens of one very small African country) are taxed on income earned abroad. Boxing in the U.K., a fighter would be subject to both U.K. income tax ~45% and US income tax ~37%.

        Because we know if we go outside our country will most likely get stuck with a bad referee.America is number 1 most hated lol.Being the most dominant and feared rich country comes with a price.

          Wrong. They're only taxed in one country. Read the double taxation agreement.

              They do sometimes.

              Spence, Crawford and Bradley have all been over.

                Like it or not The United States is the country for boxing. Every boxer dreams of selling out in Vegas. Nobody gives a **** about boxing in a soccer arena.

                  Because in a close fight they keep their belts just look what happen in Castillo and Madaina I bet if those bouts with Floyd where held in Mexico and Argentina the record books would say Winner. Or Wilder vs Fury that would have been a 116 to 112 Fury win
