quick question

Wonder if in the past it had much to do with larger more visible markets. That's obviously no longer the case but up until a number of years ago the two biggest platforms in boxing were stateside with many cards to fill on lesser networks. Back in the day entire franchises and spotlight were featuring the loooong comeback number 101 of so many former top stars, Duran, Camacho, Holmes, Foreman etc. Also tbh it seems in our nature to burn thru earnings, especially younger fighters with not much focus on 'life after boxing'. Might be more of a societal thing but also not to up to date on life in Europe for boxers outside the ring.

I do not think it is an American thing. A lot of boxers end up broke regardless of their nationality.

European boxers traditionally made a lot of money because they hid in their countries and defended their second rate titles. Top fighters would generally have to go to US to earn big money.

Astute boxers should have the right teams that invest their money wisely but even then some end of broke because they cheat on their wives and have children all over the place.
