Is Deontay Wilder 1 fight away from being a PPV attraction? Similar to May's rise from 2004-2005?

    Didn't care for Wlad over here. You have to capture the imagination of Americans. Wlad couldn't do that.

    Wlad is not broke is he. Does all right out of boxing doesn't he..

    See many Americans don't realise there is more people in Europe than the USA and they are way more interesting in heavy weight boxing.

    These days there is no real need for a boxer to go to the USA because there is more than enough money in Europe..

    Well it does matter because that was a one off and won't happen again. Its like bragging about you ability to make money because you won tatts lol..

    That's easy for you to say but they are still breaking down the doors to get over here and nobody is leaving. What's up with that? If it happened once, it will happen again and that really is not the point. The point is that a fighter on the average makes more money here than anywhere. Fighters dream of making a name in America, this is the mecca of boxing contrary to what the Brits think. When a fight is built up and glamorized in US, there is no equal.

    PPV?! Yes, of course, Haymon will have to pay boxing fans to watch Wilder fight another wino from the alley! How much will Haymon pay fans to watch Wilder?

    The short answer to this question is NO.

    The long answer is that Wilder is a JOKE, a glass jawed fraud who pads his records with stiffs, washed up has-beens and over-rated hand-picked contenders like Fatass Bermane Stiverne and Grandpa Ortiz.

    Well yes but that fight has to be against either:

    AJ
    Floyd
    McGregor
    Lensir
    Charlie Z

    Then otherwise no..

    he works for ESB, his sole purpose is to post crap agenda-driven nonsense to get people talking/activity on the site.

    he is one fight away from being really world class.

    not sure if that fight will actually happen though.
