America is no longer the home of Boxing

agreed, its been like that for a while, mayweather and pacman, arguebly the 2 greatest fighters of the last decade couldnt even fill MGM or Mandalay Bay, even though most of the tickets are comps, all the while shows in germany packing 20/30 thousand in, UK Burns, Froch, Framton, even Brooke getting 10,000 bums on seats. Americans give European fighters alot of stick if you dont fight in america your nothing, thats BS why would they? Calzaghe hatton packing out 50/60 thousand in their fights, Klits getting 30/40 thousand, American boxing is dead and has been for some time

 

American boxing is dead? Hardly dead. A level head when discussing this would be great, but if there is one thing I've thought American boxing would be good with is stadium fights but I'm sure European fighters envision at least one glorious headlining bill in Las Vegas. I've heard David Haye mentioned it pre Klitschko, saying how he saw Hatton's name in lights on the strip and wanted that for himself.

 

didn't they just sold out Canelo-Lopez and Chavez-Martinez?

 

Polish and latino boxing fans are keeping boxing alive in USA.

 

boxing died in america after tyson

mayweather is trash compared to tyson even though he's the "face of boxing"

 

Alot of rubbish gets said like you need to make it in America in boxing which isnt true at all.
Just look at Ward and Dawson, considered big names in their respective divisions and they end up fighting in Oakland, hardly the big stage.
When you see how big the crowds are for the Klitschko brothers it says it all

 

The fight didn't even fighting happen yet you dumb ****ing troll.

wut

 

Bradley v Alexander?

Yes it did, Bradley won by TD10 in a pretty boring and uneventful (besides the headbutts) fight

 

Max Schmeling said to the Klitschko's if you want to be fully respected as a Boxer you have to fight in America.

 

tko6?

 

That fighting post hasn't even been written yet.
