    How come PBF has never fought outside of the USA? He claims to be the greatest of all times, but people like Ali fought anybody, anywhere. Does this take away from PBF's boxing ability? Do we know how he fights in away games?

    He gets paid $40million to fight in his home town and he's the number one p4p star in the sport

    Would you?

    Because people like Ali transcended the sport, as good as Floyd is, he doesn't.

    No one thinks he is the greatest ever, the only fighters what need to fight away are the fighters who get hometown decisions consistantly ala alexander.

    Hang fire

    Don't tar me with a nuthugger brush I'm just stating an opinion

    I actually agree it would enhance his legacy if he were to fight somewhere else

    I'm merely pointing out he has no reason to fight somewhere else because he appears to care less about his legacy and more about his pocket

    Peace

    Without Mayweather only fighting in his home country, American Chris John hypocrites cannot do their job nearly as hypocritically.

    because he can't offer those free buffets, hotel accommodations and limo-rides from the airport outside the USA...

    also he's afraid of riding airplanes.

    Where is he supposed to fight? Nowhere else he can demand as much as he does and make as much as he does. Perhaps Macau for the Pacquiao fight would be larger but LVS would have to put up so much cash that it probably wouldn't matter, plus the logistical issues would come into play like having the fight in the middle of the day to make Primetime in the United States.
