    aren't you guys into darts? ping pong requires more athleticism than darts.

    Well the British invented most popular sports, so it's only fair we come up with one for the fat people.

    Surprising it hasn't caught on more in the states really.

    Should Wilder be the face of boxing it certainly would regress the sport on top of that bring in a whole generation of the dumbest fan base in the sports history bar none.

    Luckily odds are greatly against that happening and Joshua was just on Conan O'Brien here in the states while doing his sponsor tour.

    These are things Wilder can't do bc of his person baggage and under developed management.

    Mark my words when I told you before he's going to go down as the most popular HW champion since Mike Tyson.

    Americans also don't know who Ronaldo and Messi are. Europeans don't know who Kevin Durant or Steven Curry are.

    If you look at the WHOLE WORLD, who the most popular sportsmen currently are, the list would be like.

    1. Ronaldo/Messi
    2. Neymar
    3. Anthony Joshua
    4. Conor McGregor

    Meanwhile, billions of people never heard of Wilder, NBA players and especially NFL players.

    yes I'm sorry he went to USA specifically so some netball (sorry basketball) fans knows who he is. He idolises Reggie Miller (whoever that is) and wants to be just like him.

    I was just saying AJ is well known, well liked and supported extremely well, he doesn't really need the US market, although it's always great if you can get it.

    And I don't think he would be that bothered if some nobody got his name wrong on US TV, says more about the completely clueless rubbish they get served up over there.

    But.. We can talk PPV numbers and money if you like?

    What are Wilders biggest PPV numbers?
