real foreigner plying his trade in America.
If he's not an American sports fan, this comment is just laughable...only Kimi Raikkonen grosses more in endorsements and salary when it comes to non-American pro athletes, and considering he's leaving F1 for the world rally championships (Kimi wtf, seriously) and this'll be the highest-grossing fight in history, that probably changes after March 13th.

Reason: Canadian NHLers are technically foreigners as well but there's no immediate language or culture barrier to overcome
