I think thats reversed. He'd be a bigger star if he was from a country that doesn't turn out a lot of boxers that make it at a big level.

Boxers come out of the US all the time so it's gonna be hard to find a fighter that has the entire USA behind them unless you are someone like Joe Louis.

Hence why some fighters have an entire country following because a big boxing star from there is one and a million.
