    You mean the same Dana White who does a dozen or more overseas shows per year?

      Other countries are willing to pay good site fees and the people in those other countries are actually willing to come out and watch boxing

      In America, boxing is Free Falling in Popularity and Mayweather is actually NEEDED to be honest. EVERYBODY is struggling, even Canelo Attendance and Gate Numbers are being effected by just the decline of Boxing's Popularity in the US

        ESPN is an American company. They want American stars whose star power can be exported around the world.
        Meanwhile the Charlos can barely sell 500 tickets and Fox's big marquee fight for NFC Championship weekend is Williams vs. some anonymous fringe contender. Dark days doe.
