    Anyone notice this? Man, if GGG can get Jordan Brand, Pacquiao can get Nike... why can't an American world champion get a Nike contract? it's crazy. I think Deontay is marketable

    This.
    A lot of people seem to think that you have to be brash and talk trash to make it big.
    Hey! Broner did it!

    But Broner and the likes bathe in comedy. Everything they do is funny, even if in full cringe mode. Wilder takes everything too seriously. It comes across disingenuous.

    A point could be made that due to Wilder's low IQ and drug dealer outfits/look he could have a negative impact on any product he promotes.

    What brand wants to be promoted by a drug dealer-impersonator who says he wants to kill his opponents?

    "Murder is legal in boxing, so why can't I use my right to kill?"

    "uh..Wilder, you can't go around saying stuff like that...it's a sport and you're hurting our brand"

    "I'll kill you."

    Yes he does, but Everlast is mostly boxing equipment. I was talking about a Mega global Sports corporation like Adidas, Nike, even Under Armour like AJ has... a corporation that has Billions ...

    Hell AJ even had beats by Dre sponsorship
    Surely Deontay can play the N.W.A. Card.
    Maybe slide into AJ’s $pot.

    Wilder comes across as someone who ks mentally disabled.
    He also says daft stuff about killing people and beats up women.
    The pimp outfits don't help much either
    He is a PR nightmare, no company would touch him.

    It's a brave company that decides to offer an endorsement to that walking PR disaster.
