    PAC had the Nike endorsement for years. Up until 2016 until he made anti gay remarks that killed a lot of his endorsements. PAC did really well with endorsements at the height of his career pulling in more than $50M per year. He had Foot Locker, Hewlett-Packard, Hennessy, wild turkey, Under Armor, Pistachio, Harry Reid, Monster energy, Sony, ANTA, East West Bank, Kia Motors, LBC, Rexona, Motolite, Pizza Hut , Ricoa, PLDT, Bench, Robust Energy Drink, Cafe Puro, Alaxan, Organo Gold, Picar Place, AMA Realty as well as Chinese cellphone brand ZH&K and Nestle.

    Thing is I think Wilder used to be classy, down-to-earth as a few years ago. Then he won the WBC strap and probably started to hang with the wrong crew. Then came the Lambo, the golden jewlery, the drug dealer outfits and the brash vocabulary and weird gangster style interviews. He pretty much destroyed his marketability as a brand ambassador.

    When Mike Tyson beat up a reporter and hospitalized him he couldn't care less if that cost him $1 million in endorsement deals because he made $25 million per fight. Wilder (after promoters, camp costs, trainers etc) probably makes $1.5 million per year in gross income. He could greatly enhance and diversify his income if he had endorsement deals with the likes of Adidas, Nike, Samsung etc.

    When Wilder and Charlie Zelenoff met that time, that was two intellectual equals coming face-to-face


    Close- But I think Charlie might be a “little bit more” intelligent than Wilder

    They know he's not a long term investment.

    I'm curious if Wilder even gets endorsements from local Alabama businesses. like a Alabama steakhouse food chain or a local Alabama BBQ sauce brand.

    Remember when Julius Francis had the soles of his boots sponsored vs Mikey T? I see a similar deal for Deontay, especially if he rematches the Worm or Hard Roc.

    Why does Wilder even have his own statue in Alabama? What did he do to deserve that honor?

    I was thinking boot-scootin' organisations or hay ride clubs

    Because he isn't very good. I would guess after buffet lies down tonight they will reset the hype on him

    It wouldn't surprise me if Wlder had some local endorsements in Alabama. Also, Wilder lives in Tuscaloosa, where I'm sure he lives like a king. You can buy a giant estate right on the lake for almost nothing in Tuscaloosa so his purses are more than adequate.

    Dustin Nichols had more credibility regarding bbq than Wilder In Mississippi

    Duhaupas can sell waffle machines all day in France because he is a pastry chef.

    Molina is a substitute teacher and a former drummer in a matching band, giving him credibility in the academic progression and maybe mallets.

    Sconiers now is a real estate sales person.

    WTF Does Wilder have credit in, except for being a fraud??????
    He can maybe someday help other companies recognize fraud? Idk
