Like the article or dislike it, it's true.

Every word of it. America is a shit place to be a fighter unless you're a select few and more importantly, undefeated.


Europe isn't great, matchup quality wise, with so many mismatches but more fighters are active.

Ward has had one fight in nearly 2 years. That's 2 years of his prime vanished, he's 29.



We can all agree on this fact though, boxers today are not looking for the big fights as much as the big payday. A sport that used to be filled with big fights is now limited to 1 or maybe 2 big fights a year.
