    why?

    the future is global, as it is now. Vegas will still be the main draw however due to the city being a great venue.

    I'm not following. Germany itself has a very bright future of being a great country for boxing, but boxing right now if a global sport, and to make it big is fighting in Vegas.

    Edit-nezy37 beat me to it. lol.

    Why do so many fighters that aren't German fight 'out of Germany'. Is it just a better country for boxers to go to?

    Nah, boxing is global as some said but Germany will be a boxing powerhouse for the years to come. It´s mainstream, the public, media and especially the money is there.

    That sucks then. You're not allowed to hit your opponent in Germany.

    The Germans pay their toll, but don't do much for those of us at home watching on TV. They make a negative contribution to the atmosphere of a fight. The future of nothing, except good numbers in Germany.

    From a financial standpoint I think you will see more and more big fights taking place in Europe.

    The future of boxing may be elsewhere in the world, then migrate to Germany.
