I don't get it. Why wouldn't they. We had the market lock stock and barrel there for a few decades when it came to mass media exposure and an assumed fan base appeal. Honestly until the mid 90's you didn't simply point and click to watch majority of Brits in a huge fight..you read about it in a boxing rag, traded for tapes or hoped above all they and other top fighters from Japan would came Stateside and make the 'big' networks. There was an entire segment of the sport that was delayed or just unseen, at least where I was
. Love it or not boxing is a global sport and U.S promoters certainly should not shy away from affiliating with new markets. It's better this way and technology caught up. And then there's the fact that we frankly are not churning out top talent Amatuer boxing wise. Why do we think Floyds face keeps popping up every couple of years. I have neighbors who get rowdy and root for big stage Joshua more than a near local 'champ' in Wilder. It's really bizarre all things considered.
