hatton floyd two different kingdom

[babyboNe]

a lot of people are criticizing hatton for not fighting outside of manchester...but how many fights has floyd have outside the u.s?...u.s fighters don't really fight outside u.s....

i always loved it when ali had world wide fights...he fought in africa manila...and made history theRe...the whole world regonize ali as the undisputed worldwide champion even today...

but nowadays great fighters wanna be called world champion...but only build a kingdom...they prefer to stay in theiR kingdom...clearly hatton owns europe...and floyd owns the u.s...its the exictement to be able to cheer for our fighters...but its better they fight worldwide...

pac clearly has the phillipines but he owns a part of L.a and the u.s now too...so do morales and barrera...they are on a ongoing battle on who represent mexico...but both share a peice of u.s...well the u.s is share by the whole woRld...but the dominant owner would have to be floyd...

but i'd wanna see floyd fight in europe or australia against koysta...oR calzagne and hatton come to america...hmm i think i wrote to much...with out one clear point sorry guys

At fights in America, the crowds are more mixed than anywhere else in the world. I've watched American fighters fight in America, and seem to be the "away" fighter. My theory is, fighters from two different countries should fight at a nuetral country, in Championship fights, that both fighters have belts. If you have the belt, and someone wants it, let them come to you and take it on your homecourt. Or fight a non-title fight at a neutral site.

I do like seeing fighters face adversity, by traveling to various places, it's good for the sport.

Because americans like fighting at their homefield, but thats being unfair to all americans... Lacy went over ther to fight Calzaghe ... Winky Fought 6 years or so in Europe before making it big.

Lacy fought in Europe props to him, but i think you forget to mention he nearly got a 100% pay rise from his biggest pay cheque previous.

Do you think fighters like Calzaghe would be getting a 100% pay rise if he fought in America would they balls!!

Winky credit to him but it was the same senario he came to the uk around 10 years ago because of the money nothing else, and all European fighters will do the same if they were getting a bigger pay packet it's not rocket science.

And not forgetting also that Jeff Lacy knew before the fight that he would knock Joe out lol

I think it mainly has to do with money first and second fighters outside the u.s. want to impress the u.s. audience. American fighters could care less how popular they are in some of these other countries....
