This quote describes the dilemma of the next great American Heavyweight Champion:
January 19, 2015:
Wilder, 29, had hoped to play in the NBA or NFL before becoming a prizefighter. Most U.S. athletes who possess Wilder’s explosiveness, power and towering physique dream of team sports glory, not training to be a gladiator in a dank, sweaty gym (Wilder had hoped to play both basketball and football at University of Alabama, before his daughter was born with spina bifida and he was forced to abandon college to pay the medical bills).

When the U.S. dominated the heavyweight division, boxers made more money than the NBA and NFL. Today, if you're 6'5" or better, with great athleticism, then it would be a much better business move to play football or basketball, rather than boxing! Nobody knows Breazale, Errol Spence Jr., or Gausha, but they know the Freshman Class of the University of Kentucky. It is what it is!
