Japan-vs-Thailand doesn't sell in America. Inoue was brought to America for Choco, who was the major attraction for HBO/US Latino fans. It's not a coincidence they chose to match Estrada and Wang, even allowing for the mandatory situation. The draw is the Mexican and his fellow countrymen they will put on the undercard.
Inoue will never be a big American headline attraction, there is no market for him there, however, he is a star, his audience is his home, where boxing flourishes. And, of course, carries enough clout to sell against champions from other countries.
