When it comes to market place no matter the product, America is the Bullseye on the board, if you hit it big in America you are SET. The Beatles had to come to America and get over with the fans in order to "make it", but Elvis Presley didn't have to travel the globe in order to be "The King" because he was born and raised in America and when he hit it big here nobody really cared how big he was elsewhere his celebrity was established due to his making it big in America.

A guy like Manny Pacquiao won over America and therefore he is/was a WORLD star....meanwhile Floyd Mayweather Jr. he made it in America, never had to travel, the money was always here for him. Ricky Hatton in order to make more money, get the big fights he had to come to America.....just the way it is.

People always like to say America has no culture, but we set the standard for the world....if the US ain't buying it, then it ain't worth selling.
This is the mythical thing that none of the rest of the world is buying. Most of what you call Culture is imported. Second hand, hand me downs from the German, Irish, British, Italian, French, etc. From the hot dog to modern art all of it happened because of immigration. You imported everything but your loud trousers
