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

[j.razor]

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

Floyd beat both convincingly, fvk the dub shet.

Same reason why Foreign fighters flock to America to fight! It is no need to leave, all the money making opportunities in this sport are HERE

Its a mysterious thing.....the least trutworthy people, its shown for centuries in their judgements if they cant see whats going on in their society....they cant properly score a fight. I dont trust them myself and im a vet

I enjoy having the fights in Vegas/MSG, but I do agree.

Americans never travel.

A hostile environment really can *** with their minds. So it's unfair everyone has to always come here, while the American has infinite home court advantage.

Happens in soccer all the time. Home team has huge huge mental/nerves boost.

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.

Because almost every other market ends up skewing things drastically for the home fighter, and that's simply not the case for the big fights in the US.

Las Vegas, California, New York, and the other global US markets have reputations bigger than the reach of any one fighter.

That can't be said for Germany or even London, nevermind any other country and their commission.

If the money is there they'll travel. This ain't rocket science. You think fighters were fighting in Zaire, Manila, S. Africa for the atmosphere????

Even Floyd just fought in Japan for a quick $10 mil

Plenty of US fighters go abroad when it makes sense. Thing is usually it doesn't make much sense cuz there is more money to be made fighting in the US for a US fighter. And generally there is more money for a UK fighter to fight in the UK. Thing is when you reach a certain level there is often more money for foreign fighters to come to the US cuz thats where the most money is even if they aren't from the US. That isn't the case anywhere else very often these days. It used to be Ali could go to any country & get a giant payday. If Ali was around today I doubt that'd still be the case & even globetrotter Ali would be US based a lot more vs how he operated in the 70's as the biggest name in the game.

Maybe things will change at some point, but right now the most money for the biggest name & best boxers is in the US far more often then its not.

Hell man thats why Joshua came here. He didn't come here to get a US fight on his resume to be a true world champion (although I guess that backfired pretty badly if that was the goal). He came here cuz DAZN is/was about to drop a 9 digit contract on his ass & they are a US facing product & need for him to be more of a US fighting guy to make that make sense.

Because they're cowards. And because they don't have the character for it. Just look at most of them that did and see them lose. The US has a worse win ratio than any other country.

Americans claiming that you need to travel to prove yourself but don't expect Americans to do likewise is nothing but the usual delusion and bullshlt from them. They don't even know what hypocrisy is. That's how ****** and brain dead they are.

So you're saying Americans make more than British fighters? Care to give me some sort of break down on that?

Fighters from other countries don't have a boxing system up and running so have no choice but to travel. That isn't the case for Brits but they travel anyway. They're looking to open up another market. Why can't Americans find the balls to do likewise?

You think the UK is more corrupt than the US?

Give me a list of these corrupt fights. And i'll give you a list back. Although you'll still be delusional and claim otherwise.
