Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua is Not Worldwide, Nobody Knows His Name in U.S.

Sad but true. So why is it so important to fight in the States?

I think this is a case where Wilder should go overseas and KO opponents including AJ if he can. He might need to get international acclaim before he earns domestic acclaim.

I guess it's hard for Americans to see boxing thriving anywhere but here. I'm sometimes guilty of that thinking myself. As long as the fight happens I don't care if it's here or in the UK at this point.

Canadian MMA fighter GSP is more known in the Usa than Wilder an american boxer.

Oh he goes on and on take the american money aj takes uk money split stadium revenue your to greedy and big for your boots if i was aj i would say same as parker take it or leave it simples

You'd think the little money he earns and how unpopular he is. Wilder would keep quiet about it.

It's not the best negotiation tool to use having fought no one and being paid very little to date for doing so and then telling the other title holder who is earning at least ten times more per fight that he's going about business the wrong way .

Wise up guys your flogging a dead horse.

Back in the 70s 80s and 90s even non boxing fans could name the heavyweight champion. Now shhhhhht outside floyd and canelo they barely know who holds what belt in any division. He's right and by his logic nobody knows him either. 50-50

In Europe average people, non boxing fans, have no idea who are Floyd and Canelo. They only know Klitschko brothers.

Everyone knows who Joseph Parker is in Samoa !

[pollywog]

Americans and their eternal quest for fame by any means neccessary... *yawn* Zzzzz

To be fair to Anthony Joshua, nobody really knows Deontay Wilder's name in the U.S. Outside of boxing fans.
