he can fight in his home town no problem but he will be on a fraction of the money if he does at this stage in his career because the rest of the world won't take any interest and won't pay for it if he hasn't built up any backing anywhere , they can sell the fight to a few of his Samoan mates for a few dollars, Eddie is the guy who knows the business of boxing and has made a lot of boxers very wealthy this guy doesn't have a clue, why do you think boxers like Zhang, Bivol etc don't fight at home and sign with Matchroom, even Canello didn't fight in Mexico until recently for the Ryder fight and he made a fraction of what he would have in Vegas. you cant bring big time boxing to your home town if nobody knows who you are

He needs to care about money if he wants to get the fights back to Australia........as opponents aren't going to take budget offers to fly to Australia to fight.........they not only want good money but want a premium to go down under, especially when guys like Riakphore, CBS, Okolie etc have no shortage of opponents that they can fight at home and for decent money.
