    You are disciminating him, because you're saying he isn't good enough to attract enough interest by himself.

    Good job OP

    Who is the most popular boxer in Canada (where I believe you live)?

    What would the ratings be for that fight if it aired opposite a NHL final playoff game against two Canadian hockey teams that goes into overtime?

    I'm guessing the big Canadian boxer isn't drawing a half-million viewers in Canada away from the big hockey game featuring two top hockey teams that goes into overtime.

    Proof discrimination don't exist: Anthony Joshua generated huge views in his last fight, and last time i checked, he looked black to me.

    How do you explain that, OP? :think :bbb

    Breaking numbers down, considering tv households in the US.

    29% of Americans watched the NFL

    0.4% watched Deontay Wilder box

    70.6% watched something else.

    Ah, so now we know!

    Too bad as those folks could have watched a replay of the cooking show on youtube and not miss out on the pugilism.

    ppv for big fights is dwindling te casual fan to boxing

    what they cant see they dont miss.

    wilder has been on free ? tv and should have a large fanbase , but this clearly shows he does not

    granted he went up a very big sports event which was **** marketing.

    would not happen in germany or uk

    this stat at the powerbase of our sport when we had 2 americans in 2 heavyweight title fights means our sport needs someone desperatly to grab the public attention to hye the sport.

    wilder would be huge in the uk or germany/russia if he was from here.

    I should've discriminated against that alleged world title fight as well in all honesty.

    I'm not sure if you realize that you marginalize discrimination by diluting it with trivial rubbish like this.
