    This may seem like a rant but i just want to here your opinions on the Haye Klitscko Vegas thing.

    It seems that all americans are interested in is money and they say it should be in vegas cause it will make more dosh. Fine i agree it will make more, but what about the fans germans and english have to travel to usa to see the fight. It is unfair. It was the same with hatton pacquiao and of course to top it off we have to get up at 4.30 am. Then we have to for some reason listen to the USA national anthem (not quite sure why that is). Sorry got off topic right at the end there, haha.

    Its backed up by HBO demanding fights and turning down fights because they want MONEY. How dare they dictate a sport, their a tv channel, they have absolutley nothing to do with boxing.

    Promotes always say, ''if it makes financial sense'' and ''If its acceptable with HBO''
    Fighters over there do it aswell which makes it worse ''you know what, boxings a business and ill go were the money is''

    Anyway thats off my chest now, lol. Let me know your opinions on american market and the money problems in todays boxing. I will also put this in general to get opinions off the american posters.

    Thank you

    You should be blaming the fighters for going where the most money is at and not at the venue for providing it.

    Thats a good point, the fighters playing ball going after the money. But its still a kick in the balls for us over here though isnt it. Boxing is still about money and not about legacy which i dont like.

    Thanks for the reply.
