Expected Canelo to be higher his last fight went under the radar on DAZN

I wonder how many people watched it

I watched it, and I keep forgetting it happened until someone mentions it. I keep thinking his last fight was against GGG (well...technically it was lol)

What a lazy piece of reporting. Their criteria are endorsements, google trends and social media? Okay.

Here's Google Trends: https://trends.google.com/trends/exp...,%2Fm%2F07rsdm
Even during Fury-Wilder he barely touched half of what Canelo brings. This is USA only, numbers get worse if you look Worldwide.

Per ESPN, Canelo had $2.5m endorsements and 4m social media followers. His Instagram alone is 4.4m. Wilder on the other hand, has 2.5m followers per ESPN while actual Instagram is 1.7m. Biased much, ESPN?

Lastly, I'm not gonna even touch the endorsement numbers, that $2.5M number is laughable.

Do your own research folks, and you wont have to deal with shody reporting.

Jeez now it's ESPN manipulating the poor videos who are incapable to investigate for themselves.

Both Canelo and GGG are miles ahead of Wilder, even in the US. Everyone with half a brain can look it up.

Just posted in another thread...THE HATE he gets is working for him not against him and this kinda verifies that

He gets talked about...A LOT! Good or Bad

Judging by the amount of threads about him on here, he is also the most famous boxer on Boxing Scene.

All the threads are about him ducking the AJ fight and embarrassing himself, or being made fun of how he got exposed vs an out of shape Fury.

No one outside of blacks folks know wilder yet almost everyone know guys like canelo and pacquiao

Haters and more haters. The media hyping wilder and all we hear is how? How? How? Why? Why? Why?

Get over it. Lets push for big fights! And no more but wilder is worth 6m! 8m! 12m! 20m! Crap

Aj is a bigger star which is fine but us is the key market. There's a reason why ppv costs 50 to 100 here and 10 quid in the UK or tickets to fights are thousands here vs 100 pounds in the UK.

You sound ignorant when you talk about the UK market with having no notion of how things actually are here.

Yes PPV prices are lower here, but they range between £20-£25 which is $25-35 so about a third of the price... not a tenth.

Equally ticket prices for events in the UK are no cheaper than they are in the US; with the exception of a mega event at Vegas which would obviously be charged at a premium.

nobody even knows who wilder is! remember fury made that video in LA and nobody knows him! LOL

wilder is a bum hes also poor...he also only beats bums....he also lost to fury...yet somehow ESPN AND DAZN want him with them if hes gonna fight their guy LOL

They didn't know who he was till he became linked with AJ, that's why they were googling his name:"Who the fck is that guy?"
