Why do Americans act like boxing is an American sport?

[BangEM]

We sent two of our best young fighters in Davis and Spence to the UK just a couple of years ago. You saw what happened. Were you a boxing fan a few years ago? The result would've been the same no matter where the fights were held.

Cut out the nationalism, bro.

They fought shot/damaged boxers. Brook was coming off a nasty eye injury.

You saw what Brook did to Porter in Carson, didn’t you?

Who remembers those guys again? Coming up 2nd is what your country is good at.

Retired and washed up Wayne Rooney is the best player in the MLS, lol.

Stick to booty American football where roided up grown ass men touch one another’s bums, lol. That’s the only sport you’re great at and that’s because no other country plays the sport, lol.

Maybe cause it produced more p4p boxers than any other country.

That's like saying the Roman gladiators weren't that good because no one else in the world was brave enough to

Morden Boxing is English/British but for all to enjoy.

Porter is a mid-tier fighter, who wasn't even the best in the division at the time, and Brook went life and death with him in winning a close split decision.

Nothing remarkable there.

The UK had it on lock from like 2016 and if DAZN hadn’t set up shop in the US, the sport would’ve stayed in its natural habitat in the UK. DAZN effed up.

Eastern European countries are mostly 3rd world countries and it’s understandable why they would move to the US for greener pastures. 2 years ago, all the top boxers were dreaming of fighting in Wembley, until DAZN dropped the bag in the US.

The UK would never have it on lock unless a promoter would start signing fighters like GGG/Lomachenko/etc and having them fight there. The HW division was certainly on lock in the UK a few years back and they were able to get some big fights like Brook/GGG, but it still mainly consisted of UK fighters. For decades and decades, almost all the big name fighters end up fighting in America. I mean look at the biggest UK fighters from the 90s on tell me which one didn't come over and fight majority of their last fights in America? LIS, until UK promoters start signing foreign fighters and having them fight primarily in the UK, then it will be just par for course. More of the same.

Lol, that would make sense if American football is an original idea. But too bad it’s the Americanised/corrupted version of British rugby, lol. You need an original idea, lol.

Which American sport is an original idea? American football is rugby. Basketball is netball. Baseball is cricket. Find an original idea if you want accolades and a pat on the back. Even your language isn’t an original idea, looool. So you should know who sired you and gave you everything, son.

Boxing is a British sport.

Yes, American football is "Americanized" rugby. We took something ordinary, and made it bigger, better, and more profitable than it's ever been.

Just like we Americanized boxing.

Kinda like how we Americanized those 13 colonies

But why is Spence fighting him then?
