Weird, I agree with you

Broner has crossed into a weird place fans are not viewing to root for him they are not even viewing hoping he will lose because let's face it he's lost so many times there isn't great mystery or doubt that he will likely lose when he fights anyone decent. Fans at this point are literally tuning in to watch the train wreck. We all know he's not going to win we are all just glued to see how he won't win, what crazy shyt he will do and say after he doesn't win lol The only mystery I guess left is will he get knocked out on route to not winning.

I'm not so certain about that. Dunny1 has painted Broner out to be this loser. Broner has 3 losses and they are all to top level guys. He's entertaining outside the ring and definitely can be entertaining inside. What more do you want from a prize fighter. I think people tune in to see if he's going to finally put it all together or if he's going to totally get blasted out due to a lapse in concentration (if you watch him fight, you know that's the more unlikely scenario).

"Only one fighter, WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder, consistently draws better ratings for Showtime than Broner."

Where are those Joshua fanboys?

Haha, So what, Wilder is the most watched American. And, what does that change?

1 Million people watching from a country of over 325 Mill isn't something to be boasting about. Joshua gets 1 Mill to watch him as well, but on PPV. Big difference.

[Motorcity Cobra]

They don't. They're called cable TV ratings.

YOU LAME *****S MAD RIGHT NOW. My boy deontay wilder runs showtime viewership # and it aint even close. Yall ****boys can keep that 12.5MILLION unless yall tryna up that bag/offer. If broner cant get more views then wilder, then you know wilder runs showtime boxing. WHERE MY BOMBSQUAD PEOPLE AT

And yet it doesn't translate into Wilder getting a proper payday. Haha.

Wilder is a peasant compared to Joshua.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Huh?? dude is 25-0 below 130 and 8-3-1 above 130. He may not have a "signature" win but that is just BS some NSB posters have come up with. He has a solid resume and has fought tough and brave in his losses.

He draws fans at the gate and on TV, that is why he makes the paydays he does.

And the people on his undercard get paid as well.

Martin Luther King was a great man who was not a victim of a memorable beating... AB? WTF ����*♂️

HEARN KNOWS THE PRESSURE. wilder vs Ortiz had the 14,000 who attended outta their seats while the 80k who went to Joshua vs parker were bored outta their minds. all that talking hearn does but his fans aint lit like over here. usa where the money is and broner and jarrett hurd getting more viewership for their fights than Joshua LMFAO. I hope hearn and aj keep lowballing wilder because at the end of the day, wilder vs anybody is worth watching because wilder fights are ALWAYS exciting. meanwhile Joshua vs povetkin will be have a worse buildup than Joshua parker and no one in the usa will care for it. a boring stiff robot with no personality and a Russian who cant speak a lick of English. uk can keep that **** in the uk

The British fans aren't lit like in America? Hahahahahahahahaha Joshua gets more fans in one fight than the whole of America gets in a year.

If the US is where the money is, why does Joshua make 20 Mill + but Wilder makes 1.5 Mill? You're ****** in every sense. Seriously, you're a deluded joke.

Joshua gets more fans in his market in the UK than Wilder does in the US. How many people do you think watch Wilder fights over here? It's probably not even over 60 thousand. Haha.

Wilder is always exciting? Did you not see the first 6 rounds against Ortiz? The crowd kept on booing because all they did was look at each other.

Who cares if anyone in the US watches Joshua vs Povetkin, plenty of people over here will. You can keep watching Wilder face worthless bums while he shouts that ridiculous bomb squad nonsense if you want. Joshua will actually face the top fighters like a real champ should.

Pretty decent considering NBA playoffs were on at the time I think

Davis thinks he is a PPV star in the making pulling numbers like that.

davis got a huge pop from the crowd when baltimore was mentioned....they were definitley out for him

[Sid-Knee]

what? Broner's resume is solid as it gets. He's fought good comp at the lower weights and tough guys as he moved up. Now we can argue if he didn't get some favorable scores from judges, but he fought good quality comp.

Your resume is what you did do, not what you didn't. Anyone can lose.
