    Well it doesn't count. My question was spefically about fighters without ties to America. I can see the word "based" confused you. But i did explain a billion times after what i meant.

    The answer is just ONE fighter.
    And the answer is,with bigger venues,larger paychecks,and more fighters to choose from,sooner or later your coming to the states
    Which Ive said a dozen times now

    Stop with the bigger venues crap. Germany, Britain, Japan they fight in front of huge audiences. MOST big fights happen in Vegas.

    Ive shown you DON'T need to fight in the States to be P4P ranked.

    America has the glamour the glitz and pizzazz, so naturally will produce popular fighters who inturn will become P4P rated.

    i think UK can create their own P4P list... why bother US P4P list if you don't agree with it.. Lets get real here, lots of big fights happen in america, im not saying happening only in america. If you dont fight in US how are they going to rate you? same goes to UK and other countries. So go on create your UK P4P myth list nobody is going to stop you guys anyway.. stop this America bias crap..

    Who said America was biased?

    I'll create ANY thread I want. If you don't like my ideas you don't have to acknowledge them.

    Sorry Fenster, even though we've established that only one fighter has made the P4P list that was not US based (by your definition) - I still think it means absoluteky nothing.

    IMO there's no bias involved here. Put simply anyone who wants to make it in boxing has to have some sort of tie to America. It's not a conspiracy of any sort, it's just American $$$'s are behind pretty much everything in this sport.

    Read your own words carefully.... It's about the money. Money creates the "bias" no matter how anyone minces words...it's all comes down to the Monneeyyyy. A fighter can be absolutely be P4P worthy of being in a most any P4P list and not make it because he has no money behind him. It's up to the promoter to create the boxers image so that his fight can be sold. But so what!

    I think Pacquiao got it right. He left the Philippines where there is no money! There is lots of lighter weight boxing talent, just like in other Asian countries but there's no obscene amount of money to be made.
