Why doesn't Steve Smoger get more high profile fights?

[C-Lo]

IMO Smoger and Kenny Bayless are the two top refs around today, Weeks used to be high up on my list but lately he's been a bit flaky, and well don't get me started with Cortez, Cole, Nady, and Mercante Jr, they all are garbage

Bayless is THE best ref in boxing. Smoger IMO is the closest to him. Cortez is just awful. I don't know how he keeps getting work in high profile fights. I don't remember the last fight he reffed where I didn't think he messed up.

Smoger is an east coast referee. He'll do the big fights in Atlantic City or New York. But not the west coast ones. Which is why you don't seem him in fights that take place in Vegas or Los Angeles.

I had no clue that happens
