Of course it is. Most don't consider him the #2 HW anymore which will affect sales.

I don’t see Joshua getting that 50mill anymore either.

Era of the paper champions— only lineal matters now

Wilder is a bigger name than he was. For the first time in a long time I had non boxing fans talking about the fight at work. They've all heard about this fight and decision. Wilder now has more financial bargaining power.

I wouldn't think he's got a leg to stand on when it comes to where the fight might be held though.

Lol @ Nelson still thinking this is all about Joshua.

He is right. That scoring was appalling. On his scorecard even if Fury had knocked W down for 2 point last round he would have only have sc****d a draw.

If they have, they know he lost and Fury was robbed. Not a good look and will put casuals off.

If his bargaining position with Joshua is weaker that pretty much guarantees a rematch with Fury first.

AJ is irrelevant now let him do his local shows with British level opposition

Wilder Fury is what's popping right now
