Why do Eastern European fighters hate to fight outside of Germany?

I always wondered what was up with that?!?! Eastern European fighters hate to fight outside of Germany, or anywhere west of Berlin... why is that??

Because only Britain and Germany have a good social benefit system.

lololol... figures.

Because their styles are only popular in Eastern Europe and Germany, theres no intrest from the British or American public to see European fighters such as Pulev or Povetkin

[Fenster]

Because thankfully for them boxing is big enough in Germany that they make excellent money and when they venture out they get "robbed"

Why do American fighters hate to fight outside the US?

Why to UK fighters hate to fight outside the UK?

Seems to me Kovalev, the Klitschkos, Adamek and many other Eastern European boxers don't mind fighting outside of Germany.

I think i know why were slowly turning into eastside saddos, we used to have the server crashes and the stupid weren't able to find their way back, now it's been years since one so the stupid just piled on...saddo can you go ahead and crash the servers for a week?

This is such a US thing to say yet they never say anything about US fighters not leaving the US. Can you blame them? Look what happened to Sturm when he fought de la Hoya.

Also any world class eastern block fighter does seem to travel, Adamek, Klits, GGG. Could someone name a few current top fighters from this region who could fight someone in the US for money they are getting fighting at home or in Germany?

Im sure everyone coiuld name plenty of American fighters!

To be fair Strurm has been a homer ever since that fight and has plenty of opportunities to leave his country but has stayed at home and won with home town decisions himself.

Give Axel Shulz a call, sure he'll tell ya all about it. As has been said, every fighter wishes they were shot callers in there own back yard with a massive fan base. Honestly all the power to them. Henry Maske made a career of it, only to finally lose to a guy who basically made it a point to stay within his State within a Country. Guys like familiar. JC Gomez fought his whole career there and wasn't even born there. Boxing has gone beyond a guy needing to be 'Americanized' to be considered a serious fighter or credible champ and with the mass media available they don't remain just names you have a hard time pronouncing.

Interesting. Geocentric but only for a certain part of the globe. Whens the last time Floyd left Vegas? Ward from Oakland? Or any other prominent fighter from this continent? We act as if the world revolves around us and bitch and complain about others doing the same shit we do. Hbo rarely leaves this continent.
