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.
