That's pretty damn good. Wilder is definitely headed in the right direction but still has miles to go.

no question but hes got the tools to be dam good. i mean hes not gonna fight like he did last night against lets say povetkin but those counting him out i dont get that at all.

[Earl-Hickey]

Those are some good numbers right there, Deontay on the road to becoming a household name

[sicko]

Not bad considering the **** match up and going head to head vs College Football which draws good ratings in America and Boxing more than Held its own.

Proves the heavyweight will always rule American boxing as long as a legit solid heavyweight U.S. has they will watch.

What has Tyson Fury ever done to suggest he's a top heavyweight? Because he beat Derrick Chisora? Because he got knocked down by a featherfisted cruiserweight? Because he's a lumbering oaf?

Stiverne is leagues above anyone Fury has ever fought. Go take a peek at his resume. It is full of boxers like Johann Duhaupas.

fait enough..thats actually a great point n i cant help but agree lol

[ИATAS]

The French American community really showed their support for Duhaupas.

Wilder has a good story to sell, he made some appearances to hype the fight and he did decent numbers.

Its clear he is the guy who is going to replace Floyd as the top Haymon guy.

[Scipio2009]

Wasn't his last fight before this on Showtime?

Only time you'll see Deontay Wilder on another PBC show would be if another primetime date opens up on NBC/CBS/ABC; Wilder is basically at the point where his starpower and his payday requirements, price him off of every other PBC platform.

Wilder's heading back to Showtime.
