    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.
