    This will be one of those viral clips after the fight. That will bring popularity.
    wilder can ko fury and AJ back to back and still wont reach canelos levels... casuals in america dont know about fury or joshua, in fact they know little about wilder him self...

      u mean he's a guest star on a show about women.

        Serious? Canelo is a massive star. Literally nobody in north america cares about wilder. Even boxing fans don't care much about him. Floyd is still the biggest American star in boxing.

          Imagine if Wilder wasn't a boxer, the best homegrown American heavyweight would be Dominic Breazeale or Jarrell Miller. Yeesh

            These are american boxers more famous than Wilder

            Mayweather Jr
            Broner
            Danny Garcia
            Mikey Garcia
            Crawford
            Mayweather is retired.

            The others aren't as famous as Wilder. Wilder's numbers prove that. Both in terms of social media, TV ratings, interest on google when they fight, etc. Wilder is clearly the biggest American star right now. Guarantee you his fight with Fury will out sell Crawford's fight with Postol.

            His fights sell more tickets than the fighters you listed. The numbers on instagram tell the tale as well

            Deontay Wilder has over a million followers. Broner 886,000, Danny Garcia 527,000, Mikey Garcia 189,000, Bud Crawford 264,000.

                Like I already said. Fury will make this a circus and
                Wilder will turn Fury into a meme when he KO Fury like
                he was street trash.

                  That's still 3 more inches than what Wilder got.

                    no, canelo would be the biggest start, he's just not american. simmilar to pacquiao when floyd retired.

                    stars are made. people have to understand that. it takes organization and money to get fighters publicity. when wilder signs to fight joshua he will get a push into mainstream media and become the biggest start in boxing over night. that is how it will happen.

                      Yeesh is damn right.

                      About the same as Wlad's reign I guess. I'd rate both over Mormeck at least....I guess that's something....pathetic.
