Can anything be done to build Wilder's profile in a short period of time?

    Not true.

    Joshua and Fury have bigger profiles than Wilder.

    AJ is well known outside Uk lol..

    For your reference Europe 743 million, USA 323 million, most likely why Wlad didn't really bother with that little country.

    I'm not sure why AJ would either given boxing isn't all that big of a sport over there now and given the popularity of boxing in Europe he doesn't really need it..

    The state of American sports has nothing to do with consumerism. Populations is second to culture, hence China not dominating everything, and that list of sports we're no good at is also a list of sports we don't care about.

    Do you watch ice cross downhill? or Sumo? Oh....but that's only because no UK citizens are good at it? Or because you find that **** boring as ****? We come from different cultures dude. I don't care about your snooker any more than either of us care about China's ping pong or you care about our racing down mountains on ice skates. It's very much a non point. You throw darts, we throw cards.

    Finally this attendance ****...honestly I thought I obliterated the idea that asses in seats can contend with sponsorship but I guess not. Let me ask, is Michael Jordan a household name across the planet because of how many American asses he put in America seats or is it because Air Jordans were marketed as the shoe to every corner of the globe and Space Jam was distributed throughout the western world? Josh can too. Joshua can come over here and get him a Nike deal. Pac did. That Nike deal will be bigger than any win for his wallet, it's not even close. Or he can stay England way and peddle whatever nonsense he likes there, but there is a reason why the German inventor of the Lean Mean Machine put George's face on it and marketed it to the US.

    The UK is small in comparison to the united states we get that. The English gave it back to you. blah blah blah no one cares.

    Joshua's management have done massive things to promote Joshua in the UK. with 19 fights this enough for now and so far..
    They have cracked the UK market very easily and quickly.
    Most people in the UK know who joshua is thanks to his management and promotions team, he is everywhere, tv adverts, posters every type of advertising possible, you will see joshua, and that isnt even from people watching him box. most probably havent.
    It wont be long before Joshua is on the under armor posters in the USA all over, on the james corden show and sports shows.
    these things take time of course.

    wilders management has been very poor promoting him in the USA in any market.

    its not a uk vs usa thing. Joshua will crack the market. He / his management team hasn't had time yet. The UK money is huge for them already.

    Yes, that is the point. We all know this and instead of talking about what the hold up may be with AJ promoting himself in the US people want to pretend like they honestly think asses in seats is a part of that conversation.
