Floyd (black), Canelo (Mexican), Pacquio (Asian) none of them were white and all got 50-60M paydays. Before them the biggest check cashers were Oscar and Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, ect. Again none of them were white. The biggest money generators in the last 4 decades are all black and brown people not white. This dude is rambling and losing his damn mind. Grasping at straws because he is still in shock and denial because he never saw Warren/Arum deal coming.
Great points.
He's obsessed with being a damn victim.
Hope he loses all of his money and then blames it on the white man.
Idiot.

Bompton Piru, blood!
Naw I don’t wanna meet up..I’m scared of you
Had Deontay Wilder won the Gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympic games, then he would have had long lines of corporate sponsorships waiting to do business with him and would have have gotten the push he needed to be a global star. He could have been the Lebron James of boxing had he won the Gold medal in 2008. That's how AJ gained his popularity and financial success by winning the Gold medal in the Summer Olympic Games and as a result receiving that promotional push.
But "Bronze Bomber" sounds cooler than "Gold Bomber".
Without a doubt. Joshua winning Gold was pushed hard and it helped him gain popularity fast. Wilder no doubt could of been the same.
But that gold medal didnt fight the decent names on Joshua's resume, That gold medal did not fight for 4 world titles or 3 if you dont want to count one of them. That medal didnt cuz thats a dumb thing to say, but neither did Wilder.
As a pro Boxer Deontay Wilder could of done any of the things Joshua did and hes had twice as long to do it. Without that gold Joshua would still be the superstar he is because what he has achieved as a Pro Boxer and the push with the gold just helped get the ball rolling. Its what Joshua has done and its what Wilder hasnt that is cause of all the differences.In all due respect, you make some great points which I agree. However we can discuss resume's until the cows come home but that does not guarantee packing meat in the seats.
You got to have a push plus an it factor in order to sell tickets, Pay per views and to become a box office draw. Anthony Joshua has the necessary charisma to draw crowds but everyone isn't Anthony Joshua.
Joshua could fight any Joe Schmoke and sell out Wembley stadium and that's a fact. So resume's doesn't necessarily guarantee success but marketing does.
I go back to my original point that the reason why Joshua is so successful today is because he won the Gold medal which gave him instant demand and marketability success; Just like Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar De La Hoya. For example, if AJ ever happens to lose he won't lose any of his corporate sponsors or investors.
Lastly we can date back in history at fighters with strong resume's who never became crossover, mainstream box office draws with casual fans.
This is what happens when you wait 40 fights into your career to start fighting recognizable names. He is still a virtual unknown to the casual boxing fan. He can't sell fights unless he can get either Fury or AJ in the ring and bring in that UK fan-base and money. Outside of Fury, what was his biggest PPV??? Forty fights and he had no marquee names on his resume until Fury. Then comes away with a questionable draw. GTFOOH!
Wilder probably forget about a guy named Mike Tyson who earned $400M in his career.

How many times is Deontay going to pull the race card? And whats worse is when you look at all the Afro American fighters that have been turned into millionaires and world known superstars it sorta takes a bit of a dump on his latest race accusations. TO THIS DAY.
If Deontay Wilder had not fought well over 30 bums and been promoted properly then who knows what he could be getting offered now. Although some people say if Deontay had taken on better oppoosition instead of well over 30 bums he would have an amount of losses on his record and nobody would give a toss about him anyway.
At the end of the day Wilder is just not that good. His management knew this which is why we have the current Wilder resume. They protected him, he fought bums, he didnt gain momentum because he didnt fight names. Fighting known names with good reputations is EVERYTHING if you want to be a big rich star with a big fanbase. You can cherry pick your way to a world title but you cant cherry pick your way in to fans hearts.

Wilder acts like a loud mouth, makes too many excuses and has fought bums his whole career with his only good fights being Ortiz which he made hard work of as the less proven equivalent of Povetkin and a draw with Fury this year.
That's why he isn't that popular.
Do you think AJ would be as popular as he is now if he'd only fought Povetkin and got a draw against someone like Fury?No, Joshua popularity in the U.K. Dates back to the amateurs when he represented Great Britain in the 2012 Summer Olympics and won the Gold medal for his country. That's how he got his initial push and is the reason why he continues to ride the tidal waves of money and popularity in the U.K.

I have to disagree with that hypothesis because both Klitschko boys; Who were heavyweights fought in the U.S. On HBO or American television several times and never became mainstream, crossover, box office draws among casual fans in the States and they were white. However, if Deontay Wilder was British he could very well possibly be making what Anthony Joshua does now per fight or at the very least making a lot more of what he is currently making in the U.S. Because boxing isn't a mainstream sport anymore.

Well, Floyd is white! He didn't support us bruvas with that Gucci ban, nah sayin?
Canelo is white and making millions. What about us real street bruvas?
Boxing and US is racists, nah saying?
Everybody wanna be black until it’s really time to be black...your whole gimmick is corny!!...Nah saying?
Actually the liberal masses would be too ashamed to support a white athlete who is hurting other people of colour, they guy would make no money.
Anyway, I do hope that one day the USA gets its racial politics in order, sad to see people are still stuck in the 1960s.
I disagree. If there was a liberal mass trump wouldn’t be president. I think he would do extremely well if painted as the all American hero. I can’t remember the last time that happened.
Bomber needs a publicist because he says some of the dumbest things smh...If he had a racial bounty on his head he wouldn’t have gotten the GIFT he got against Gypsy...he was thoroughly outboxed and outsmarted but he still has zero L's on his record
