if a fighter has over 30 pro fights....

Depends if the guy you are fighting is a bigger draw in his home country?

 

He should be coming to you I agree, assuming they both hold a belt each, I suppose it depends who wants the other persons belt more.

It could be the case with Wilder v AJ? Who moves?

 

Golovkin is actually more popular than Ward. That probably has a lot to do with their styles of boxing.

 

And it also depends on your country. People like Golovkin an Kovalev. They've practically made there boxing homes America.

 

I wish everyone would travel. Statistics prove that home advantage exists in sports, boxing shouldn't be any different. That's one question mark on most American fighters if you are not biased.

 

I'd argue that it is more important in boxing than in any other sport. In other sports the biggest advantage comes from not having to travel. In boxing it generally means that the ref and even the judges will favor you.

 

It's also psychological. Teams perform better at home, even if the ref is impartial, they are not tired from traveling, etc. I always thought it shouldn't matter, but the results don't lie.

 

"Travel out of the country hes based in" is he really a draw??
GGG has been based in the US for 4 years. Before that he was in Germany. Before that he was in Kazakstan.
Is GGG a draw?? At this point its fair to say that he's a bigger draw than 95 percent of American based fighters. He's a bigger draw than Danny Garcia, Danny Jacobs, Terence Crawford, Andre Ward, Deontay Wilder, Keith Thurman, etc. Only Canelo, Pacman and maaaybe Cotto are bigger draws.

 

Which one of the Beastie Boys were you again?

 

The Kovalev fight might not be Ward's biggest payday if he was willing to travel in the past. Just saying.

 

The big money is only in the US, since people are brainwashed into PPV and stuff. All the advertising and stuff is there. People in the guys homecountry will watch the fight nevertheless, because it's on free TV. So they go to the US to take the money of the rest.
