Non Western Fighters

I've been thinking. If you arent Mexican, American or hailing from the UK you have to accept the fact that you have less marketing initially. Those fighters have built in ethnic fanbases that purchase fights. Look at the ethnic support Hatton and Canelo got. ****, look at Keith Thurman. The man was a hypejob and was treated like the next Ray Leonard because he was American. If Keith Thurman was from Liberia you would have never heard of the man. Hed probably force a mandatory shot and then get screwed over on the cards or take a deserving loss and go back into obscurity. Who the **** knows who Mairis Briedis is?

You're not going to get a fair shake if you're not from the West. So what do you do about it? You can either accept your fate or entirely bet on yourself. Sergey Kovalev moved from Russia to America and was fighting for free. Manny Pacquiao was a 2 weight world champ and yet only took home 300k of a 700k purse against Barrera BEFORE TAXES. Dude took less than 200k after taxes after annihilating one of the better Featherweights in boxing history.

Anthony Joshua took home more than 5 times what Usyk took home. Despite Usyk being the more decorated fighter.

The only way for some random dude from Asia, Africa, EE to get any type of money or respect is to get bent over at the negotiating table and then beat the brakes off some big name Mexican, American or British fighter. Doesnt matter how good you are. Once you do that like Usyk just did then all of a sudden the Western Media goes man who is this guy, he came out of nowhere, never heard of him, but hes really good.

Life isnt fair. That's just how it is.
