    he didnt start "mentioning" AJs name...wilder just kept doing his thing and the public started saying "AJ vs wilder looks to be juicy"....

        Nah, using the logic of this thread, that credit goes to All Star Boxing, who brought Alvarez to the States.

          I would probably say spence, with Wilder you are right. He was built more by Hearn than anyone else. I have criticised his management team for years now, because before Hearn came on to the scene with Joshua, Wilder was really underground.

            That's fine by me. Golden Boy has a track record of making other stars outside of Canelo.

              Nope. Broner was promoted by Golden Boy then taken by Haymon.

                No Question Wilder, Spence Jr, Tank Davis, Charlo Brothers, Hurd all Benefited from being on PBC and getting some of that Exposure on different networks. Also doing a good job building up Caleb Plant, David Benavidez, Kownacki, Erickson Lubin

                We talking "BOXING STAR" Standards not Crossover Superstars because their is no Crossover Superstars currently in boxing...certainly not anything close to how BIG Oscar, Mayweather and Pacquiao was. Canelo is a BOXING Superstar but still have yet to reach that Crossover Super Stardom likely because he doesn't speak English (at least not much publicly)

                The Only Crossover Superstar in Combat Sports currently is Connor McGregor

                So Yes PBC has Developed new BOXING STARS but no they have not built up a Superstar YET but I do think Wilder and Spence Jr are on the BRINK of Super Stardom. It can't happen without Wilder fighting AJ and without Spence Jr fighting Crawford though

                PBC Fighters have the Platforms to build a Superstar BUT that is on the fighters to take care of business both inside and outside of the RING

                  PBC has failed to create one star on it's own. No PBC fighter is a money machine like Tyson, Oscar, Leonard, Dempsey. Not even close.

                    The only way to create a money machine star is to risk the best vs the best and hope he coms out on top, like Joshua did. Wilder, Spence, Davis are all protected frauds and will never be money machines if they are protected in house by Haymon. Canelo is a rigged money machine like Floyd was, nobody is allowed to beat him. And they have the money to buy off most any opponent. The ones they can't buy off they duck.

                      But Errol and Tank Davis are draws who have been built to that point solely by PBC (with some help from being connected to Floyd in one way or another.) On those you are correct.
