    IDK relative popularity is a thing. Chris Eubanks get 2 million + USD and a cut of PPVs, when even Deontay Wilder isn't doing that.

    If you can make it its the place to be, that's a huge IF and the barometer is way higher to be noticed on a relatively large scale here than in the UK, and involves a lot more politicking if you ask me. Ryan Garcia would get whooped by Devin Haney probably and he's not getting any mainstream attention like Garcia.

    Also people here are getting reminded of some NFL player suing because he has CTE, and other brain injuries so on a grassroots level I don't exactly see the boxing following growing. I don't know if the UK has similar cases with Rugby or Soccer or not, but it's a hot button issue in the USA since it is the sport that by far draws the biggest crowds in the USA.

        I knew American boxing had a massive issue when Gary Russell supposedly got paid $1 million for fighting Hyland.

        British boxing has a good platform at the minute and with British, European, and commonwealth titles you can create good match ups as there is lots of tv dates. Not necessarily always great fighters but that’s not always what good sport is about.

        Obviously it’s great when boxers get paid well but it should be in fights that are a bit perilous. Aside from Broner I’m not staying up to watch any Americans fight. Why watch Spence give someone a shoeing, or pound 4 pound king Crawford fighting the weakest champion?

        It’s all a bit comfortable for stars over there it seems.

        The power of the zero has more or less been eradicated here now which is nice.

        But...America are still the top dogs and likely always will be simply because we’ve yet to have a foreign fighter headline a show in his own right as far as I can remember?

        Maybe Tyson a few times?

        But to really adopt one? We’d need a new Golovkin to do that.

        I like the Warren at least tries stuff with Tete.
