    Excuse = "he's Kazakh, there's only 40 of them on US soil".

    What did people expect, exactly?

    And that depends on what "selling like hotcakes" is to you.

    OK...so that one excuse, clearly from someone playing, equates 'All I hear is excuses..."

    I agree with that statement. I haven't seen a PPV worthy fight since May/Pac and I see none on the horizon. Well, maybe if Wilder fights and beats Parker and Joshua beats Wlad, that might be a PPV situation but not on the scale of May/Pac.

    Depends on where they fought. Floyd is from Michigan. He usually fights in Las Vegas, where many Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and so on live. Furthermore, locals from LV do not like Michigan and vice versa.

    I personally have NEVER heard of a White American nationalist supporting an East European/Asian fighter. For what reason? White American racists feel extremly insecure about Asian men. Furthermore, he's seen as "Russian", the arch enemy of the US.

    I am from Europe, I like the old European boxing school. That's why I support him. I also support Joshua, so where's the problem? Am I racist because I am the fan of a 1/4 Asian Slav or a Black Brit? Or a gypsy from Ireland? If the US would have had an active, entertaining fighter who does not cherrypick, I would root for him too. Wilder had potential, but I do not support a fighter who's fighting Jason Gavern in his 32 th pro fight.

    Who ever used the word hope? For what? We had Klitschko, Lewis (who by himself literally destroyed the US heavyweight scene). Good, European fighters who changed boxing. Why would there be a need for a "hope" today? Definetly not for me.

    Ring Magazine P4P Top 10 has two Americans, that' it but you act like non-Americans all over the world feel threatened. Deliver us a good fighter and we will support him too. You are the ones spreading the hate. But you come from a hateful place, so you are forgiven. If you want, I can send you some links about breathing techniques and meditation, you might feel more at peace.

    No one gives a damn about these guys' nationality. Some of you focus way too much on it.

    To say small numbers is just the hard-core is bull****.

    There are more than 200k boxing fans.

    PPV is all about stars. Andre Ward can't draw boxing fans because boxing fans don't like watching him fight or his personality.
