Foreign boxers have been robbed many times in the USA. It happens in most countries.

That being said, I can't think of a single fight where a foreign boxer was robbed in either Ukraine or Russia.
Read about what happened to Oquendo fighting Chagaev there a couple years ago. I can't think of a single more notable fight to ever take place in Russia at all, for that matter? Maybe that's for a reason.
errr wladimir v povetkin.... fight went to purse bid and povetkins team won so the fight happened in russia.... The russian "business men" certainly have the cash to win whatever purse bid they feel like
