    Arthur Abraham anyone?

    a.k.a Avetik Abrahamyan by birth. Born in Armenia.

    He can defend his title against me and sell out an arena these days. They built him up on the undercard of guys like Beyer, big sells in Germany, but now he MORE than stands on his own two feet.

    Good point. Bute is big news in Canada. How did that happen?! :nut

    The only common denominator I see is that Germany and Canada are not richly blessed with boxing talent at the moment. Maybe they are forced to take these guys on to get a piece of world class action in their backyards.

    Good business, as i says "Frank Warren" ????

    Compared to how these promoters can adopt AND sell out to multi thousands of handclappers, is pretty special.

    Is the UK the only place that doesn't do this?

    USA adopt all fighters - Mexicans, Ricans,Irish and who ever else
    Russian are like the germans and just take Eastern Europe ones but to a lesser extent
    Australia take a lot of Africans in and get a good following then theres Zoo
    Japan take a lot of south Americans and lighter weight fighters
    Canada like someone says have the romanians


    In the UK they take a few fighters in but they never make the top of the bill.

    I think this thread conclusively demonstrates the UK is the most racist state on earth.

    Hope the Cubans are the start of something that should of happened years ago.

    They should go the same way the Cubans develop a base for them (Cork). Have them fight on a few big cards but still keep it close to a place they fight from so they develop a following then start to expand. It's easier in Ireland because its a small place and it basically takes you half a day or so to get to the main places
