Sturm...like most fighters...fights where he can make the most money and that's in Germany. There he's a major draw. His last fight against Lorenzo sold over 18,000 tickets. Compare that to guys like Berto who can't draw flies to shit(roughly sold 900 tickets in his hometown) yet will probably fight his whole career in one country with no complaints.
