That's in no small part his own doing. There is still more money in the American PPV market, but his last opportunity to tap into it was that abortion of a fight against Sultan Ibragimov. That was a big HBO fight based out of Madison square garden, had lots of hype and attracted casual interest. If it hadn't been so unspeakably shit I don't doubt Wlad would have fought outside of Europe since. Since he insists of fighting the way he does, and there is an inelastic demand for him in Germany, it makes sense though.
