Wilder had no impact in Brooklyn

[Motorcity Cobra]

Fight gotta happen in America doe....

Personally I'd love to see AJ laying on his back looking up at the lights in front of 90k people and Wilder screaming BOOOOOMB SQUAD. I love the way Errol Spence went over there and made Brook take a knee in front of his hometown crowd.

These people have no idea what's going on over here. Would you listen to Jim Lampley tell you what's going on in the UK boxing scene?

If Lampley walked around Cardiff and said no one knew a heavyweight title clash was happening, then yes, I would.

Adam Smith was in Brooklyn for fight week and if you watch the video, he said no one knew a fight was even happening in their home town. He then goes on to say that once the fight fans arrived the atmosphere improved, point being that Wilder has no wider relevance, whereas AJ does.

AJ in fact has become one of the faces of Gatorade in the UK, his poster is up on every bus stop across London (not sure about other cities) and his face was all over every betting shop in the country for the last week.

Wilder gets mistaken for a basketball player lol

never knew jim lampley was head of HBO boxing.

Adam smith is head of sky boxing and answers to head of sport... , thats it...

you dont think Sky have some sort of metric data or understand the underwhelming view numbers wilder pulls in the "worlds best boxing market" ?

its hardly a secret wilder doesnt pull when theres physical video evidence of people not knowing who the **** he is when asked.

No one knew a fight was going on yet he had the second highest attendance for a boxing match at the Barclay's center and was the first Showtime card to pull over a million viewers since Canelo? Stop listening to these people.

Lou Dibella was head of HBO boxing during his glory years and now he's a promoter. He also owns a minor league baseball team. So if we're going by credentials we should listen to Lou over Smith, right?

Has loud dibella stated that deontay wilder pulls in the same viewer numbers, financials and ppv buys as AJ?

Because if he has and you believe him with all evidence pointing to the contrary, then id say you have more of a bias problem than you think.

ask yourself a question.. do you think that everyone that watches wilder on showtime... is going to buy him on ppv?

[uppercut510]

hopefully joshua wilder can be made next seems to be nothing holding it up, they can figure out where, we fans should just demand the fight who cares who is more popular? wilder can go over to the UK and fight him, we are all okay with that, lets see the 2 best fight!

[Curt Henning]
