    I think Dillian vs Wilder could get close to 1 million. If he becomes champion he could break 1 million, but don't think he could beat 1.6 Million.

    That's simply too high.

    This is all without AJ of course..

    80 million people in the US alone watched Ali-Spinks II.

    Just saying.

    The thread starter is totally lost.

    Well, Carlos Monzon fought his entire career without ever leaving his home country, no one's ever held that against him

    But Monzon was never an international star like Muhammad Ali.

    Most people have never heard of Carlos Monzon, while everybody everywhere knows who Muhammad Ali was.

    Joshua is becoming internationally known as well, because unlike Wilder he isn't afraid to fight away from home.

    No one will be like Ali again. Not any time soon anyway.

    What a loser response.
    I don't know what Wilder sold this fight and don't care what he made. I watch fights. And Joshua doesn't want to fight Wilder. Joshua got what he deserved, a loss, and then beat a beached whale in Ortiz in the rematch. Hip Hop Horray! Until Joshua's fights Wilder he doesn't have my respect. So you can shove any of those numbers that you bring up, up your ass.

    Lol. AJ manages to beat a 300lb slob and within a week he is being compared to having the historical significance of Ali. You Brits really are great value.

    until heart and will power become qualities on the opposing side of the boxer you're gunning for, then u end up in fanboy fits of fury. you can't be claiming this as one of the saltier posters on here dude.

    Mayweather and Pacquaio sold 5 million PPVs(which was probably 5x more expensive than any of Whyte’s PPV’s) yet neither was as big of a global star as Ali was, not even close. The comparison here is ridicuolus.

    Simple ... Wilder is a whiny poo talker whose had a cherry picking career, Joshua is a humble walker who would genuinely fight anyone.

    I don’t think Wilders personality helps.

    I'm upset you mentioned Muhammad Ali and Anthony Joshua in the same sentence.
