Wilder hasn't been built into a big star, that's the truth.
To be a big star you have to have wins over big names. And the fact is that Deontay hasn't done that yet in 37 fights.
Neither has Joshua but at least he's fighting Klitschko next. If he wins then his star is unquestionably on the rise.
So yeah, at this point the fight would fizzle on PPV in the USA. Much better to put it on free tv here.

DiBella did say Rigo vs Frampton was a sleeper...could all be true for the sake of ratings and sales, but fans also want to see Rigolution fall.

Well, Dibella is right that a Joshua-wilder fight should be on showtime in US.
But the actual fight should take place in the UK and obviously be ppv there. I don't see what the argument here is, unless they insist on fighting in the US. But dibella isn't even Wilder's promoter. He can be replaced at any time

I think the price for PPV in America is too much. In England we usually pay £17 for a show. In america its around $100 i think. If they dropped the price they would obviously get more people supporting it. Not everyone can afgord that kind of money month after month.
