I think it's just cheaper for the sanctioning bodies to assess and accredit domestic people and physically get them to the fights. They all grew from basically one-man bands (the WBU iirc is run from a cottage in Norfolk) so they're naturally going to start with the cheapest, easiest options to get enough judges to run their rackets, sorry, sanctioning bodies.
Yeah there's numerous examples of foreign judges officiating in the States.
That doesn't answer though why outside the States there's no fight with home-country judges.. the sanctioning bodies can't appoint three UK judges?
And Ive explained it too you 5 times now,and so did Kirkland,its cheaper,theres a deeper pool to choose from
It's CHEAPER to send an American to Britain?
