Comments Thread For: Wilder, Fury Among Six Boxers on ESPN World Fame 100 List

[Toffee]

There's another thread from a few days ago that addresses this in detail but the crux is that:

- The criteria are bollix. It doesn't work for sportsmen who only compete twice a year.
- It's not even slightly accurate. As demonstrated by anyone with a grasp of Google trends.

Can't believe Espinosa had the nerve to quote such obvious bollix. Embarrassing.

I think that scoring system is flawed. Most searched on their highest day is the most important criteria of the three and really it’s the least important. Someone could be searching “who is Deontay Wilder” for example.

Social media following is a better judge of someone’s fame and popularity as that’s their fame over time as opposed to one day. The most important factor when it really comes down to it is how much someone can command in sponsorships. Once again a better indicator of how popular someone is than how many times they were searched.

This right here.

Jubei also brought up the more accurate numbers as for as google trends go, and the part for social following on that list is questionable too...for example, it says Tyson Fury has 21.5 million followers on his most popular account. Fury only has 1.6 million followers on Instagram and 1.09 million followers on Twitter...

Those numbers always seemed wildly skewed to me but what is his Facebook following?

AJ ain't shit in America (the counrty that matters). Hell even Golovkin is a bigger draw than Juicesha here. Fury is the only heavyweight from England that has any balls and thats why he made the list. AJ is just some no account fighting easy fights after that fluke win against old over the hill Klit.

Wiider too ain’t shlt in merika, after almost a decade of fighting bums casuals are turned off...by June 2nd after AJ destroys the fat American the name on every American boxing fans lips would be Anthony Joshua!

[Fabes88]

Dude nobody is gonna watch that AJ fight. Nobody watches DAZN and nobody cares about Jarrell Miller. The fans here know Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder because they got big time exposure and build up for their first fight. AJ ain't getting that here because he doesn't deserve it. He's shamelessly cherry picking and avoiding the big dogs. DAZN trying to get Wilder to sign a contract with DAZN was a pathetic attempt to make Wilder commit to the B side pay day. AJ isn't fighting Wilder Fury or Ortiz so he's a non factor as far as I'm concerned. He's the Lucian Bute of the heavyweight division. An undefeated guy that beats contenders but never challenges himself against the prime champs. And like Bute, when he finally does step up he will get his big tea sipping ass blasted out of there. Is that clear!!!!!!!!??????
