    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.

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

    Common sense that Wilder is nowhere near the most famous fighter. But ESPN knows Wilder fans are ****** and will believe anything.

      most famous is a very arbitrary term. he doesn't command the money he used to becuase he's so far past his sell-by date, but pacquiao is by far the most recognizable name in boxing. if floyd came out of retirement tomorrow he'd be the most "Famous" boxer in the world.

      the boxer who makes the most money fighting in the united states is canelo alvarez. he's got the track record and he's got a huge contract with dazn

        Yes Robbie

        Espn doctored the list to please Wikder fans , A fanbase That according to most on here doesn’t even exist or minuscule in size compared to every other boxer

        I mean if Wikder is such a unknown why wouldn’t Espn doctor the results of a boxer that actually had fans.

        So bitter and filled with hate it’s hilarious seeing you have your life controlled by a athlete you hate , Wilders ranking on This list will surely consume all of your thoughts for the next couple days and I expect multiple threads from you stating why Wilder isn’t popular or some other Wikder hate thread .

                Its ******ed , It’s just amusing how the hate they have for Wikder

                The only other time I’ve seen something like it on here where a Fighters fanbase hates their fighters rival so much it burns in their soul and controls their thoughts and life is The hatred PAC fans had for Mayweather. It’s just weird

                To me the best part of it is even if Wilder really only did made 2 mil against Breazeale, he’d still be one of the best paid boxers , But these guys who probably still borrow $ from their Mom act as if 2 mil has Wilder having to take on a side job just to pay his bills

                It’s like you guys realize that you will work almost your entire life grinding away for 35-50 years and your entire life earnings won’t equal 2 million dollars but you want to sh.it on guy and act like he isn’t sh.it making chump change for making 2 mil for 1 fight.

                  even though most of that live in reality know wilder made like 3.5 for the Ortiz fight

                  ya....as ive said...wilder is one of the highest paid US fighters...its the US market that dictates wilders money....its not a strong boxing market....yet hes still sitting on the top of it

                    Posters have posted proof that ESPN is wrong and Canelo was far more searched than Wilder, has more followers and more endorsements. Wilder isn't the most famous not even close. FACTS.

                    If you want to believe lies, go ahead, you're a Wilder fan that's what you do anyway.

                      I'm a fan of evidence. Provide it ******. There's no evidence he made 3.5 mil against Ortiz, NONE.
