Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Fury is Not Known in US; He Looks Like Clown

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Deontay Wilder has a tough test in front of him with Cuban heavyweight Luis Ortiz on Saturday on FOX pay-per-view, but the WBC champion can't help but think about his potential next opponent in Tyson Fury. The two are set for a rematch of their own on Feb. 22, and Wilder is already starting to amp up that fight promotion as well.

Your ticket sales right now are poor too. You are not a star in your own country.

Wilder is worse than a clown he's a pretend clown fraud hoax pretender who lost to Fury but haymon had it rigged.

Fury wasn’t a star in his small country either. He said he was treated like a bum which is why he came to America. Just know that he’ll sell more than 3500 tickets unlike Fury lol. And the fans won’t be booing Wilder because he’s exciting unlike cheater Fury

Actually Fury is known in the USA.

Someone is lying to wilder

I think the reality is that Wilder and Fury by themselves are not huge draws for many fans. Yet when matched together they will fill an arena because they had a really good fight and the optics-its American v Brit, black v white,- attracts fans. Add to that Fury plays his role expertly-he makes the fight more compelling and more must see with his antics.

If I am Wilder, after this fight the next 3 guys should be Fury, AJ/Ruiz winner, and then Kownacki. I believe all of these fights will sell out the arena and be pretty big events.

Fury is more Ali than Wilder! They both "be doing too much!" However, you're correct, if Wilder wins, the rematch will sell! 2 questions: Does the Ruiz/Joshua winner have to fight Usyk or Pulev next? Do you think Ajagba is ready for Kownacki?

Of course.

But Wilder isn’t a star in USA either, and that’s his own country. His team have done a terrible job promoting him. WBC champ that is an incredible puncher that flattens guys, looks the part etc.. he should’ve been a huge star but his team never knew how to build him as a brand.

Imagine an American HW champ with his attributes, record etc.. in the past? He would’ve been a superstar.

Wilder just had 13K at his fight almost double of what Fury had. If Wilder only sold 3k tickets no1 would be calling him a star. He makes the fight more compelling during the build up then delivers a boring dud in the ring.
Fact is Wilder is more popular than Fury but some just can’t admit it.
