Is the HW Marketability over? Can Wilder be a bigger PPV star than Floyd/Pac if he

if the right american star with the right (ideally american,) opponents shows up then yes, he can surpass manny and floyd mayweather.

wilder certainly isnt the guy to do that. i don't know if he'll even be a top 10 HW, never mind a crossover star

Who the hell is Wilder? So i guess No

I think he'll end up being solid, but nothing special. He'll be a big time player in about 2 years, but I see him losing a couple fights so he'll just be solid/ok. He'll have his shot though.

Of course he'd be a massive star, putting aside the fact that he's nowhere near talented enough, all the Americans would start saying he's better than the klitschko brothers ever were etc and he'd be on hbo ppv

The fighters in the division are currently horrible. And most people have now gotten a chance to see that skill and fitness are so much better at the lower weight classes anyway.

I'd say that the mystique of the heavyweight division is gone.

Is it possible? Sure

But with Wilder? NO

Absolutely nowhere near Floyd or Pac.

HW division just doesn't have enough top quality opposition for anyone to make those sort of numbers.

**Ring Leader** · 10-26-2012, 05:39 PM

I doubt Wilder will ever headline a ppv let alone selling those kinds of numbers

The opponents don't matter that much, tyson still sold massive numbers against some rotten opposition
