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

[fladz]

More an indictment of the state of boxing in the US than it is of Joshua's popularity.

Wilder has defended his world championship on free network TV multiple times, garnering millions of viewers.

Wilder stars in a very popular cable TV reality show.

Wilder is clearly far more well known in this country than AJ is. Just as AJ is far more well known in his country.

The idea that nobody knows Wilder in the US is pretty silly considering his history as a strong ratings draw. Wilder's knockout of Stiverne went viral and helped make him far more well known as well.

This is totally ridiculous. Nobody outside of hardcore boxing fans has a clue who Wilder is. Joshua is already an international superstar. That is a fact. It doesn't matter what you think about Joshua as a boxer or whether he is the real deal or not. He is way more recognized internationally than Wilder. You are delusional in your claims that Wilder is a big star in the US. Keep on riding the Wilder hype train. You are dramatically inflating his popularity.

Tha peoples champ has spoken. UK try keeping your chants down whilst King Deontay is in the building, I want to listen to the champs commentating.

People's champ? GTFOH. You can't be serious. What people? Him and his homeboys? He is NOT the people's champ. He is an embarrassment to the history of heavyweight boxing in the US. The fact that he regularly talks out of his ass saying he would beat Ali easy, prime Tyson easy, still be on top in his 40's like Foreman just makes him less likable. People's champ my ass. More like people's chump.

How dare you have a ago at the guy who works for all the governing boards. He has never ever been biest towards wilder in any of his previous 271 posts on the subject. He doesn’t even use google for facts he just rings his friends duh as David Higgins. As you will know he was able to announce that showtime ere announcing Joshua fight during mid January because he had insider knowledge (although in that case it turned out just to be a schedule of boxing announcement) - nevertheless he knows all the ties, all the people and not once ever acts like a 12 year old who deserves your flak.

Wilder fans girls rabbiting shyte, AJ is the people's champ, loved in middleast, china, Japan, Europe, Africa etc. Wilder is known only in Alabama fighting bums. At 40 fights, the Bellend with just one HW fight has a better resume, and that's a fact!

If its not a knock on Wilder, the surely it isnt a knock on AJ either if he isnt a name in the US?

exactly bro.............

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

back in the 70's there weren't 100 heavyweight championship belts.

Please post your evidence that Haymon loves ********.




But that's twice as much. So that's actually selling a lot more.




Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder, if both are still undefeated, and fighting for the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO undisputed heavyweight championship of the world, would easily do 250,000 buys. The public's fascination, and more importantly, the media's fascination, with crowning an undisputed heavyweight champion is immense and the coverage for the fight would be through the roof.

Hey Bro can you please tell us why Murat Gassiev left Haymon and PBC? Dude is probably going to be the undisputed Cruiserweight champ then move up to heavy.

That's part of the problem dude which proves my case. Most casuals can't even name one of the four belts (we are not going to count the IBO).

no we won't count the IBO. I use their rankings just because it's computerized and "unbiased" but that's about it.
