    America has very little interest in fighters or fights under 140 pounds unless the quality the fighters and entertainment of the fights is exceptional.

    I'm American. Honestly, I don't think many people care at all. Tinman, I think your assessment is pretty fair. At least for me it stands true. Under 140 the only people I watch are Loma, Gonzales, Donaire (sort of), and that may be it.

    I do....but I highly doubt I represent the US as a whole....in all likelihood the majority of American have no idea who Golovkin and Chocolatito are, so what do you think?:lol:

    I'm very interested in it. I'd also like to see one or both fight Rigo at some time as well.

    I think Americans in general aren't interested in boxing as much as in earlier decades. When I was in my teens and twenties we got to see a whole bunch of fights for free on Saturday afternoons and sometimes during the week.

    That pretty much describes this fight though. Frampton is quality, Quigg is very good. All told this is a possible foty.

    Surely those in the know Atleast are excited?
