Eddie Hearn asks Americans "Do you know who Deontay Wilder is?"

Wilder is way more popular now.

Stratosphere popularity mayne..

880k on prime time tv as the wbc hw champ

Weighed up against a british hw champion who's HBO replay 5 hours after the fight finished did more..

Way more popular since he shouted bomb squad a couple more times doe

Absolutely hilarious.

But it does highlight one big thing: Wilder isn't promoted well. Today everything needs to be compressed into clips and blurbs no longer than 20 seconds long otherwise we get bored and Wilder's KOs on paper at least should fit that bill but I haven't seen one clip of Wilder's KOs outside of boxing sites. Imgur with its huge user base, clipped every Ron Da Rousey KO and thousands of people saw it. In comparison Wilder has 5 posts on imgur. Wilder has very little social media presence when his fights perfectly fit our ADD society.

That is interesting about imgur.

There are so many ways to promote a fighters now and the only one promoting Wilder is Wilder.

I don't know why Wilder even has a manager. Wilder calls Whyte a peasant. Whyte has a managers licence and manages himself.

This is lame. Do better.

Is Hearns kidding with this ****? Joshua is less popular in the US than Wilder. He needs the Wilder fight and it needs to happen in Vegas

Why the **** would it happen in Vegas when you yourself just said nobody knows who the **** they are.

Joshua doesn't need Wilder. Wilder needs him.

American fight fans know who Wilder is and so do English fight fans. Wilder isn't a shy boxer. He is loud as hell and yells bomb squad and calls AJ out every day and twice on Sundays. He has 37 KOs in 38 fights and not all 37 of his KO victims were bums. If he was so unknown then English fight fans wouldn't be on here talking about him all day, every day.

Exposed as a 'noname' he is...
