    PPV numbers don't lie. He has NOWHERE near the numbers of Canelo. And there is just no rational argument that more people know (or like) him than Manny Pacquiao.

    I am not sure how popular Joshua is outside of England. (Admittedly, he is not as well known as he should be in America) But, Joshua is 10 times better known in his home country than Wilder is here in America. Almost nobody in non boxing circles knows who the hell Wilder is.

    AJs was fairly accurate.

    McGregor actually had 3 million more followers than they have him listed at...

    Ect

    So the very list you are so condescendingly defending cant even get their own ****ing scoring metrics right lmao!

    Ya man... totally legit lol.

    As if this list wasnt so obviously garbage to anyone with even half a brain before... seeing their own ratings arent even consistently applied or accurately measured pretty much seals the deal.

    You clutching to the delusion that this list means what it says it does and actually believing it is embarrassing lol. Get a grip.

    Yes. Just keep repeating it. Keep rocking back and forth and repeating it.

    Meanwhile, more people in the US and UK will tune in to watch Wilder fight Breazeale in May than will order Joshua-Miller on PPV in the UK or watch it on DAZN ... and then you can come back and insist nobody knows Wilder, again.

    You accused me of working for the PBC because I posted a link to the results of an ESPN sports rating they do every year.

    If I posted a link to last year's report, would I be delusional?

    Or is that one okay?

    Get over yourself.

    They're both on at the same time.

    Wilder will draw more viewers in both counties. And people will still come on here and say nobody knows him.

    They just keep repeating the lie ... while every network covering boxing is throwing tens millions at him hoping to get him. (Apparently because nobody knows him.)

    :lol: No... youre not delusional for posting a list... youre delusional because your vocal attachment and spiteful condescending defence of said list, in the face of multiple and more legitimate contradictory metrics, and with this list clearly having objective and measurable flaws with its own rating system, and yet you continue to cling to it and continue to claim it means what it says it means. :lol:

    Thats delusional.

    Have a nice day

    100% this. Manny is insanely famous and well-known globally. It's just mental that they don't include him. I don't know anyone that hasn't heard of him, but I know **** loads of people who don't know Wilder and Fury.

    I would argue that more US casuals know Manny than any footballer on the list. I would argue that more Euro casual know Manny than any American on that list. I think we can all agree we needn't even talk about Asia.

    Canelo isn't as big in terms of global fame IMO. Maybe his lack of English holds him back with the casuals. I actually understand Fury and Wilder being above him purely based on their Joe Rogan appearances. That **** gets a ton of play and I heard more from casuals about Fury on Joe Rogan than any one boxing event last year lol.

    Who ranks higher, Wilder as a HW boxer, or MVC as a troll ?

    Discuss.

    No point in arguing with you. You are bordering on the delusional.... As many posters have already pointed out. When Wilder does 1,000,000 pay per view buys, let me know. Only then will your point of view make any sense.
