    It is a provocative read. I tend to disagree. I don't think there is true regional differences. Adrian Broner was paid approximately $1.4MM to fight Paulie Malignaggi. A few years ago Andre Berto was in the same boat, as was Chad Dawson to an extent. Pavlik got more than a million for his fight against Lockett. American networks are still paying "stars" a lot of money just to have the star on their network.

    Also, look at Chris John. He's fighting nobody's and racking up defenses in Indonesia. There's an argument that Narvaez is doing the same thing in Argentina.

    This has been the name of the game since time began for boxing.

    The question is whether the European fighters are getting paid the same amount of money as their American counterparts that are allegedly getting the tougher challenges. For example, if John is getting paid less money to face easier challenges than he would be for facing tougher fights on HBO, then it makes sense.
