Why are American boxers so inactive?

[minemax]

They choose a wrong promoter.

[asgarth]

Show me who's got all these world class guys & are putting them in the ring 3 times a year please. I'd like to follow that promoter/network/entity.

The reality is this isn't happening. Hearn is the cat who's claiming this the most, but if you look at his name guys its not actually happening. Big fan of Hearn. I think he's the best promoter in the game right now, but just cuz he's telling you something don't mean you should believe it.

Dillian Whyte, 2018 - 3 fights - Respect to Whyte, 2017 - 2 fights

Rocky Fielding, 2018 - 3 fights Respect to Rocky although I think this is about Fielding getting a big fight pulled from Canelo's ass more than Hearn is keeping him more active, 2017 - 2 fights, 2016 - 2 fights

Scott Quigg, 2018 - 2 fights, 2017 - 2 fights, 2016 - 2 fights, 2015 - 1 fight

Martin Murray, 2018 - 1 fight, 2017 - 2 fights

Anthony Crolla, 2018 - 2 fights, 2017 - 2 fights, 2016 - 2 fights, 2015 - 2 fights

The problem is that the PBC guys are fighting even les than 2 fights on average. And that also concerns guys, who were up and coming fighters in 2016-2017, when they should have 3 fights a year.

I know you didn't. I did cuz he's the guy advertising himself as the "get you 3 fights a year" promoter. And I know he's not that.

I did ask you to tell me who's the promoter/network/entity or w/e who's showing all these world class guys 3 times a year & I noticed you didn't come up with nothing which is very telling.

So feel free to tell me which player in the sport is doing this cuz I'd auto-become a fan of whoever is doing it.

I did admit that three times was pushing it.

All I want to know is why are the likes of the Charlos only fighting once a year? This is not a dig, this is not UK v USA (Never was)

Also this is not about promoter v promoter because I couldn't care less who a fighter is with, as long as their active.

[champion4ever]

This is America fellas. There is not much of a demand for boxing on this side of the pond. That is why HBO is bowing out of the business because boxing is no longer a mainstream sport.

[chargerhemi06]

The answer is quite simple really. It’s the Floyd mayweather effect. Stay undefeated and retire and then do a comeback fight.

Yea, HBO is a massive loss.

Maybe I'm just seeing this inactivity because in the UK, boxing is on a high at the moment and we have a show nearly every other week.

US has some superb fighters, especially at 147/154. I just want to see them more active and unifying their divisions.

[Prince Madison]

Al haymon. ...

[champion4ever]

As boxing has declined as a mainstream sport in the U.S. One can safely say that the DAZN will be a failed venture here too; Because no one outside of the boxing circles, know that the online live streaming boxing service even
exists.

[Boksfan]

He’ll always be greater than Hearn. Hearn will never accomplish half of what he has. Bow Down Eddie

Nah, Haymon is a snake, milking poor stupid fighters all day, Murica must be desperate to suck such a snake off

[Eff Pandas]

when they should have 3 fights a year.

Again I ask who are these power brokers in boxing that I'm missing out on that are providing their world class fighters with 3 fights a year? I would like to see these active mfers or visit the alternate dimension you are from where this is actually happening.
