    This guy seems to be talking a lot of trash and even threatening death upon fighters, but that's the type of stuff people want to see along with devastating Ko's to go with it.

    If he keeps winning like this, do you think he will start making mayweather type money in the near future?

    No

    It has to be backed up by big PPV numbers and big fights. People don't throw that kind of money at fighters without a return on their investment. Wilder simply doesn't bring much money to the table in that regard.

    Wilder has become more of a name in the last year no doubt, but is a million miles off those guys in terms of numbers and popularity. Let's be fair, Wilder rise in name recognition is mostly down to the fact he got a gift draw in a fight everyone saw him lose, but got a spectacular final round.

    With all that said, there is certainly Canelo kind of money on the table for him if he fights AJ.

    He can't generate that kind of money on his own name, like those guys do.

      Nobody will make Mayweather money again, because it's too easy to bootleg a PPV fight now.

      I've watched every PPV this year, haven't paid for any of them.

        So wait.... If Mayweather came out of retirement to fight Pacquiao, the PPV numbers would be low?

          I don’t know about that, let’s see if his fight against Ortiz is on PPV first, am sure the Kownacki fight would be on PPV due to the Polish large Brooklyn fanbase.

              They wouldn't be near their last fight.

                AJ vs. Wilder in 2020 is going to break records.

                    Why is everyone on here throwing Adam's name out there all of a sudden? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, and I don't see it happening yet TBH. (not like I'm an authority on anything though haha)
