    Thats maybe the main reason it doesnt happen more imo

    I wouldnt like to risk my title on the decision of judges in germany, too many dodgy results

    hmm says... one of the reasons back then as to why they fought outside the U.S. was to avoid paying higher taxes..... hence they make and take home more money on most instances..

    europe dont pay the big bucks like vegas!!!! If i can make a fight happen with a fighter from europe in my own backyard and make 5 million i would rather do that than go to his backyard and make 3.5 million...

    You also have to remember that when ali was fighting it didn't make much of a difference as to how much u got if u fought in africa, europe, asia, or whatever else...even up till 90 when mike was fighting in tokyo it still didn't make as much of a difference...

    All im sayin is if oscar says i can pay u 5 million to fight him in vegas or 3.5 or however much less to go to europe to fight him than ima take the fight here in the states!!

    These guys are human and want money too n in this economy u cant blame them for wantin to get as much money as they can!

    Dzindziruk is one of the handful of present world champs who has fought wherever he had to in order to collect his paychecks,and so has his compatriot Kotelnik.

    Nevertheless,they get little respect from the so-called American experts and media.
    They have the wrong passports.This piece of paper makes all the difference at times.
