    WTF did you just paste a whole list of baseball stadiums for? How many of those have hosted a fight within the last 20 years? Bizarre.

    Anyways, I don't think it's a bias just it's true that most of the money is in America. More of the lower weight fighters would be ranked but while we may know the top 107 lbers in Thailand, we don't know the guys there are facing day in and day out. It's just hard to sell a case for those guys when most of the public doesn't see their fights and if they do they don't know who it is the champions are fighting. Thailand is so interesting to me I wish we knew more about it.

    You kidding,I had fighter fighting in the Sacramento Bee's stadium recently
    The question was,does the United States have more Stadiums then the rest of the world,the answer,is, yes

    Who? The Sacramento Bee is a newspaper. Raley's Field is where the Sacramento Rivercats play and yes, they occasionally have some very small scale boxing cards. That is literally the only baseball field I know of that they have boxing cards.

    And the question was not if the US has more stadiums then any other country. That wasn't the question at all.

    That was the question posed directly to me.
    So I answered it,and you are right,it used to be the Bee's now it is the Rivercats,my bad on that,I could have just opened up my pictures and gotten that right.
    But the point is,I was asked does the United States have more venues
    Yes we do is the correct answer
    And again,I havent even touched Casino's,Basketball,Hockey,or Boxing only arena's

    We get it, you are important. With that said, what does a list of stadiums where they don't hold boxing cards have to do with P4P lists having a bias towards Americans?

    Yankee Stadium

    Yes
    The Spectrum in Philly
    Held fights?
    Yes
    List could go on endlessly
    Yes
    If there are more fighters,and more venues that can hold fights,sooner or later you will fight in the States

    Endlessly? Really? Let's see you name more then 5 of the stadiums you listed that have had cards within the last 10 years. That's the only way anything you posted is at all relevant to the discussion.
