    Well actually Abraham vs Miranda II was on Showtime and was mostly picked up for it's controversial action packed first fight.But anyway if the channels are broadcasting it don't matter if they are in the US or not.
    Froch has been on us tv
    Bute has been
    Kessler has been
    Bika etc

    showtime then....
    then they need to continue fighting there (here).... by continuing to fight in europe all their doing is lowering their appeal & value

    You understand that they could fight on Mars as long as it's broadcasted it shouldn't make a difference.

    True but these bull**** channels need to showcase the best fighters no matter where the fights are held/fighters are based. Thats the way it should be.

    well "how it should be" is "how it aint"

    the major networks are all ran in the states
    the major promotional companies are all in the states
    the major venues are in the states
    the major (majority) of the big name fighters are in the states

    so the power are be have that attitude

    play by our rules..
    or dont play at all

    Ok,are you still talking just 168 cuz you kinda lost me.
    Besides Taylor America doesn't have nobody now to rules 168.
    Kessler wants to make his debut in US(after he already fought on HBO)
    Bute will probably go in the US to rematch Andrade aswell(after he also fought on ESPN and Showtime)
    I'm sure Froch would come with the english fans here and Hennesey has said so if the ****ing channel picks the Taylor fight.(Froch has also been on Showtime)
    ETC

    I already know that and it's bad for boxing. Wouldn't you rather they broadcast all the best fighters in the world & make all the best matchups regardless of location? It surely has to be better to watch the 2 best fight than to see two lesser fighters simply because they went to America.
