Joshua is light skinned, PC, family friendly. So is more marketable to white american
Yeah, and jet fuel can't melt steel beams. I also got a nice tinfoil hat collection.
Yet it is a White guy who writes his checks. Without them, Wilder would be a nobody.
No one has an issue with Wilder because he is Black or believes in God.
People have issues with Wilder because of who he is and how he acts.
Writing checks doesn't change the facts! Their under paying him and keeping him in a box with minor exposure.
You are confused. Messi and Ronaldo are super rich because of their extended contracts during their fame. Soccer is obviously more saturated of a sport than boxing. As I mentioned, Hussein Bolt, who’s cross Atlantic from the USA had a 10 million deal with Puma first signing. What Wilder has in common is that he’s an Olympian and excelling as a professional for various markets. Messi nor Ronaldo ever came close to what Mayweather could do in a year. The soccer guys have always had extended contracts, a lump sum, that you would have to divide per year to compare.
Wilder needs to keep on winning. Soon enough when he beats Joshua or close to he will be in the late shows such as Kimmel, etc. the longing for an American Heavyweight has been a while. Either way, sports markets will start bidding on Wilder. He just needs to keep on winning.
Usain Bolt is one of the most decorated olympians in history with 8 gold medals and numerous world records... Deontay Wilder has competed at 1 olympics and managed a bronze. That's not something in common, that's showing that there are worlds of difference there.
Sure Wilder could go on and become undisputed heavyweight champion but he will never have the clamour around him of Messi, Ronaldo, Bolt or Mayweather because his achievements could never remotely compare.

Looks and fan base. AJ has the ripped look that makes the women crave the bbc.
And he has the fanatic UK fan base. Under Armor is worldwide. They want to get consume everywhere
Spot on.
AJ is someone you want your kids to aspire growing up to.
Wilder is a 6' whatever chicken legs who got busted for dope and spends his money as soon as he gets it like a thug... ie hood rich.
(at least this is all how it is presented).
It is all about risk.
Beyond that, who the hell actually heard of Wilder? After 40 professionals fights at that. lol. What does Wilder bring to the table?
Nothing but risk!
I actually think Ortiz with his family story would make a great spokesperson for a company, taking care of his family and ill daughter.
GGG is also a gold mine for potential sponsors.
As much as I hate to admit it, Ward would of done really well with sponsors as well.
Wilder? Not in a million years. too much risk. Ie... why you are not going to have sponsors want to sign up Adonis Stephenson no matter how good a fighter he may be or Broner.
Wilder also has a great back story because he is literally fighting for the life of his daughter. People like to focus on the negatives especially if there is an agenda to push. Wilder's story is much more interesting but I'm sure it wouldn't sell merchandise as easily as a big muscle bound boxer that rarely says anything interesting.
Lol Joshua is clearly racist. Plausible deniability is a load of bs. If you want to believe his account was hacked go ahead lol keep living in your dream world.
Hold your horses just a moment pal. I don't believe he's not racist anymore than you do. But everyone in charge can look the other way because he has an excuse, just like Canelo. If Canelo had been caught with the syringe I'm he's arm it wouldn't be so easy to get away with it. An dopey Deontay spouted he's anti whitey crap right in front of the camera. Thats the real world and how marketing works.
Because Wilder is an out spoken Proud African Man who can not be bought or tamed! His deep belief in himself, relationship with the Creator and true knowledge of his people propels him to be unapologetic or scared. Wilder is a part of the new breed of Africans in America. Very conscious of what runs through his viens!
This type of African will never be accepted in a white dominate society, thus he will not be promoted or loved by those that oppose his kind.
You asked , I answered with FACTS!

Joshua is more PC, diplomatic and looks less likely to come unstuck anytime soon. Wilder said he speaks hes mind, talking about racial stuff, but unlike Joshua he has no plausible deniability when it comes to he's comments because we heard them straight out he's mouth. They don't want an alienated white public, not good business.

Wonder Why does an American company 'Under Armour' favour & Sponsor Joshua but not Wilder?
Maybe because it has a worldwide market. I do believe they buy Under Armor in the U.K., so why not sponsor a local sports hero.
I guess we'll be hearing Wilder's own family like Joshua more.

Because Joshua comes up as a nice guy and Wilder is a jerk. Who would you rather have partnership with as a big company?

Under Armour revenues and categories are aren’t just boxing of course. Under Armour to have Joshua is smart, as the company also has Jervonta Davis and Canelo Alvarez. Under Armor has stores all over the word.
Regarding the dark skin jokes, Hussein Bolt has Puma. Puma, Adidas, Nike, Jordan are all bigger than Under Armour.
Wilder needs to beat Joshua first before anything happens at the Ronaldo or Messi level.
I see Wilder as a huge star in the next couple years. He just has to keep winning.
Are you off your rocker? Ronaldo or Messi level?!
Ronaldo is the highest paid sports star on the planet and is a global icon.
Messi is largely considered the greatest footballer that ever lived and equally the third highest paid sports star in the world.
No chance does Wilder ever reach anywhere near the income, popularity or sponsorship deals of those two because not only does boxing have nowhere near that level of reach but Wilder is simply not as remotely an attractive proposition. Even if he knocks out Joshua and becomes the biggest boxer today he would still not even hold a candle to Ronaldo and Messi because he sounds like a retarded hillbilly whereas both Ronaldo and Messi are literally worshipped.
