Tyson, Lewis, Ali and many other boxers never had a problem filling the arena. But then again, Ali fought the best guys over the course of 2 decades. Lewis cleaned out everyone in the 90's. Tyson fought a lot of guys too. Hell, go back and look at the fight films when Jack Dempsey fought. They MADE arenas to hold enough people for his fights. But Wilder, he fights bums that no one has heard of and thats why he will never fill the arenas. And when he gets a chance to fight someone good, like Whyte, Klitschko, AJ,...he always has a reason or ten as to why he cannot fight them. But he will gladly go and fight another bum for 1 million hahah. THA'S the real reason no one wants to come see him fight.

There are some class fighters who don’t drive mainstream interest, such as Loma, Usyk, Linares, Mike’s Garcia, Crawford, Spence, etc therefore, I don’t believe attendance alone acts as a barometer for brilliance. Furthermore, the American market is painfully corporate now; in a more extreme fashion than the respective eras of those you mention and boxing has become a niche sport almost.

Anyway, defence of Wilder over: He is a dreadful boxer.
