    Sky tv have given wilder's fights some promotion, I think you could see it step up for the Stiverne fight and they put quite a bit of effort into pushing the Ortiz fight. By which I mean they made some good trailers and sent a crew to Alabama to interview wilder.

    They did this not to satisfy a demand on this side of the atlantic but to build one. They are looking at he eventual fight on the horizon and doing their best to prepare for it.

    The reality however is that the time isn't friendly to uk viewers and wilder doesn't have a big profile over here. On this forum you are likely talking to the most engaged uk boxing fans, but I can honestly tell you outside of them there isn't a great deal of knowledge of wilder, at least in my experience.

    AJ is a sporting superstar here, most of Wilder's fame comes from the association with AJ and him having the final belt AJ needs. It's a pity he didn't come to Cardiff, he could've raised his profile considerably.

    I love your posts. You're are hilarious. I just hope it's super slick trolling as you can't compare Joshua and Wilder draw wise. It's a silly suggestion.

    Say you think he's the better fighter/will beat Joshua - sure I can see why some people might think that but there isn't a single notable metric that makesba case for Deontay being the more popular fighter of the two.

    **** Wilder. AJ doesn't need him. Wilder can go back to fighting chumps and AJ leftovers for in obscurity for all I care. That's about the only thing he's good at. Fighting bums.
    Wilder can't dictate **** to AJ.

    With regards to my earlier comment about Wilder = Berto, it's a little like this.......

    Mayweather - Brought US PPV
    Hatton - Brought UK PPV
    Pacquiao - How do i explain this whilst being 'politically correct'? Is it ok to say he brought the 'ethnic/minority' PPV?....(Don't accuse me of being a racist because i don't know how you guys would explain it).
    Canelo - Brought Mexico PPV
    Berto - Brought 0 PPV


    Wilder does not 'bring the US PPV'.....

    You may argue Joshua v Wilder 'could' do US PPV.....

    Which again explains the weak bargaining point Wilder has.

    Wilder = No PPV
    Joshua = UK PPV
    Joshua + Wilder= UK PPV + 'possible' US PPV

    Exactly, plus I doubt this will be sold at $100 a pop on PPV, that's taking the fact it wont be primetime out of the equation.
