Comments Thread For: Fury: I Have More Fans in U.S. Than Wilder - He's Not Popular

[ShoulderRoll]

Fury had 3500 people at his last fight in Vegas against Wallin.

And who knows how many of those were comps.

That's why he is off trying pro wrestling and thinking about MMA.

I heard that UK boxing just had josh Taylor son American Regis Prograis in a major unification bout.

I heard English don't like Scotts. They will pull for each other vs the world, like Prograis, but there is low esteem between them. As in, they're glad Taylor won, but he's a Scott, so they won't brag on him too much. Did and still do the same for Ken Buchanan. He's not mentioned so much down south either. I'm a huge Kenny fan, but he fought Ismael Laguna in Puerto Rico, beat the crap out of Edwin Chuchu Malave in New york, Ruben Navarro in Los Angeles. Home cooking was nasty to Kenny. He won, defended, and lost his title on the road.

They're about equal. At least they are where I live. If you were to walk around here and ask random sports fans who Fury and Wilder are, people would either know both of them or neither of them.
I kinda like them both myself. They're more entertaining personalities than the guys we were getting during the Klitschko era.

Yeah, among the general public and casual fans that I speak with they both know them about the same (which isn't a whole lot to be honest). ESPN is trying pretty hard to raise Tyson's Q rating and throwing around the "Lineal Champ" stuff. PBC hasn't done a great job of building Deontay in my opinion. I think he needs to decide if he wants to play the role of the heel or not.

"ESPN ranks Deontay Wilder as the most famous boxer of 2019 and 34th in all athletes.

Ranked #34 out of 100 and ahead of guys like 39. Tyson Fury 63. Anthony Joshua 68. Canelo Alvarez 78. Gennady Golovkin 83. Manny Pacquiao..."

Last i checked, Fury was with Top Rank, and Top Rank just last year signed an exclusive Television deal with.... ESPN. So if ESPN (whom is in bed with Fury Via Arum) says Wilder (whom is not in bed with any of them and fights mostly on the competitor Showtime) is the most popular BOXER period in any weight, Fury just sounds like a real jacka$$ saying this.

Fury only says this nonsense to sway the casuals who will believe him because they dont know any better. Its the same as Arum,Top Rank and ESPN constantly having him referred to as the Lineal champ even though a few boxing youtube bloggers have already dispelled that lie with the true facts. Wilder clearly has more U.S fans and its evident in the actuall numbers that Fury seems to avoid mention of when he says dumb shyt like this.

Typical British nationalist propaganda.....it gets old lads, it gets really old.

How deluded can one man be? Look at how ****ty his events did in Vegas. No one gives a s hit about Tyson Fury. He's boring and is mentally ill and a former drug cheat. Not counting the million dollars of coke he did between 2016-2017.

[Boksfan]

so why nobody care about fury unless he talking about wilders

Because he's a big stiff dosser.

[champion4ever]

You are right Tyson and neither are you? The sport of boxing in the U.S. Is a tough sell. Fans started tuning out of boxing 20 years ago.

Wilder has no fans, fact!
