Wilder says soon he'll be highest paid athlete in world

I see Wilder is still concussed from Nichols' checkjab.

 

Hes not very articulate and has zero charisma. He sounds very uneducated when he speaks. This all works against him and it will prevent him from reaching the heights of highest paid athlete overall but if he beats all the big names he will make a lot of money.

 

w

If he loses to breazeale then damnnn.... all those dreams will come crashing down.

 

Well, just to play Devil's advocate for a minute here, if DAZN offers him an even bigger multi-fight offer and he accepts it, then gets 50-50 for Joshua, then beats Joshua and suddenly captures the world's attention and becomes the next crossover superstar, it's possible his earning potential could go through the roof to the point where he could legitimately make that claim. Regardless, there are certainly avenues open for him to drastically increase his earning power, if he's smart enough to take them and drop the baggage.

 

soon he might win a valid title fight too.

 

what does that have to do with the nonsensical statement of the MoST highest payed athlete ?

He doesn't even want too fight Joshua , so there's nothing SOON about anything or true that he says, you have to be highly gullible to remotely believe this .....The highest payed athlete ????? So he's going to be making over 100 million all of a sudden a year ..?

 

How many thousand tickets are still for grabs at the Barclays Center again?

 

Not just in the world.... in the YULAVERSE!!!!!!!

 

I don't know. I doubt it but it's not impossible.
15 years ago no one would have believed it if you'd told them how Floyd Mayweather Jr. would become what he's become.
Even 5 years before Mayweather fought Pacquiao no one would have believed the actual numbers they achieved in 2015 were possible.
No one would have beleived Buster Douglas would end up getting paid $23 million for a fight either.

Wilder, as an undefeated heavyweight champion, has massive potential and could possibly become the highest paid athlete.
It would be a sad state of affairs if boxing has become so low down on the pecking order of sports that he doesn't even have a chance.

 

I agree.
He's in a better position than most can ever dream of being.

 

If they pay him every single time when he opens his mouth and no one understand a goddamn thing - yes he is going to be the highest paid athlete.

 

Could have a strong possibility of happening , but even if he gets by Breazeale anyone actually considering he's going to be the highest payed athlete needs to seek help, since it's not even probable with that fight and he lacks the makeup to be globally marketed.

Forums never seized to amaze me, there's ALWAYS these types of people. Lol

 

Wilder is at the tail end of his career not the beginning with one ppv and that was 7 million for all we know and are led to believe that he made as his highest pay day.

see above post.

 

Maybe he is going to do a movie
Like “Space Jam”?

 

He might be at the tail end of his career but he might have 3, 4, 5 years left.
Maybe he'll fight Joshua, land a lucky punch, then go off and fight an MMA guy and get endorsements from Japan and China.
We just don't know.
On a smaller scale, Joe Calzghe went from being virtually unknown outside of Wales, to headlining at Las Vegas and New York and got $10 million for his last fight ..... in the last couple of years of his career.
Anything can happen. That's the point.

And it's not just Wilder. Maybe you'll go out and increase your earnings a thousand-fold too.
Wilder's in a better position than most of us to achieve want he says he wants.
We shall see.
