Why do Eastern European fighters hate to fight outside of Germany?

[Master]

This is such a US thing to say yet they never say anything about US fighters not leaving the US. Can you blame them? Look what happened to Sturm when he fought de la Hoya.

Also any world class eastern block fighter does seem to travel, Adamek, Klits, GGG. Could someone name a few current top fighters from this region who could fight someone in the US for money they are getting fighting at home or in Germany?

Im sure everyone coiuld name plenty of American fighters!

To be fair Strurm has been a homer ever since that fight and has plenty of opportunities to leave his country but has stayed at home and won with home town decisions himself.

Give Axel Shulz a call, sure he'll tell ya all about it. As has been said, every fighter wishes they were shot callers in there own back yard with a massive fan base. Honestly all the power to them. Henry Maske made a career of it, only to finally lose to a guy who basically made it a point to stay within his State within a Country. Guys like familiar. JC Gomez fought his whole career there and wasn't even born there. Boxing has gone beyond a guy needing to be 'Americanized' to be considered a serious fighter or credible champ and with the mass media available they don't remain just names you have a hard time pronouncing.
