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

[Earl-Hickey]

Good post & great point. Never even thought of this, but yea the US is a big ass place.

Its not like the whole country is all home just cuz you are from the US. Sh^t going to some states is like visiting a whole different country.

Dudes if Deontay Wilder fought in Seattle all the Seattle "brothas" would be out reppin'

Yeah the US is a big place but let's not act like them brothas don't run in packs

thats because the OTHER peices of shh ran togather and hung people, ****d them and abused their rights as human beings, (what we claimed to represent) represented other countries, germany, CSA these are people we fought to the death, literally.
As a matter of FACT their abuse of others makes me wonder WHY? If they cant properly judge whats going, why would you trust CERTAIN americans....THEY HAVENT CHANGED. I say we fight to the death, cause we cant possibly get along, their children they made are still trying to fight past generational problems, look at their comments now
see what theyve created, HATE....SO I FEEL LIKE THEY DO....YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE, HATE BEGATS HATE DONT TRUST THEM EVER, LOOK AT THE NAME OF THIS GUY.....WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT (WHAT IS HE TRYING TO DO WITH THAT NAME)

The mecca of boxing is Las Vegas!

What is it that the Brits don't get?

[RENE BOX YOUNG]

Spence Jr doesn't apply here, he went to the U.K and smashed Brook

[WhatDisButtonDo]

Because the best boxers by far and large are typically over here?

[RENE BOX YOUNG]

TJ highway Yeah, brits will always defend their people even if facts are smeared in their face, kinda like when Ruiz mopped the floor with AJ, all Brits are treating AJ as if he won. But I respect the Brits and everyone in the boxing community, just stating facts.

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%.

There is a double taxation treaty so if i earn abroad and pay tax on it, ot is knocked off my home bill. Applies both ways.

Lmao Crawford and Spence come over there and spank any bum the UK has to offer. You hold Ricky Burns in high lmao. You thought Spence was Jeff Lacey lmao. Joshua was always going to get slept by Wilder no matter where they fought.

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.

Floyd may be unbeaten. But there are many ways to penalise his record and not fighting abroad just once hurts him. When boxing fans are deciding how good a boxer is that is high up there in criteria.
Nobody was asking Floyd to fight abroad a handful of times. Just once.
Against Ricky Hatton in manchester, or Pac in philipinnes, or nel o in mexico. To prove he can do it

Los Angeles is as different from New York as some Euro countries are. It is a different environment.

The thread was about U.S. fighters not wanting to travel. Most of them travel farther in a few years than most UK fighters travel in their entire careers.

What part of "It's not the miles, it's the environment the home fighter has" don't you understand?

There is no difference in a fighter being 400 miles away to being 4,000 miles away. If you're in your opponents backyard, you're in enemy territory. The miles don't even come into it.

Being in one end of your own country to another is not the same as being in another opponents country. Trying to cast it off as such is pathetic because it isn't even remotely close to being the same.
