Why Wilder isn't popular in US?

He's cherry picking because he can't defeat top level talent. 1 top 10 opponent. He's almost 32 years old. He's made 5 defenses of title. Eric Molina, shot to bits Areeola, Szpilka a crude cruiserweight, Duhaupas (who),
It's a side show to try and hype up a fighter who isn't the goods. Michael Grant was hype and he'd knock Wilder out. Sad part is the disivion isn't even loaded with talent right now and he still won't face top 10 opposition.

 

It still boggles my mind as to how popular "wrestling" is there. **** me, it isn't even real wrestling! It's like a soapie for men. Unfortunately it's popular where I live too. People are strange.

 

There are too many critisizms and things to ridicule Wilder about. He is an unbeaten near 40 fight world champion yet he is still largely unproven. You gotta prove yourself. Everybody said when Spence beats Brook it will sky rocket his popularity in America. He really proved himself and beat a recognised big player in his division. Wilder still hasnt done that and still doesnt look in a rush to do so.

If he had smashed out Wlad or Parker or Povetkin by now it would all be more rosy for him by now.

 

Great post

 

His promoter is garbage among many other things.

 

We are a culture OBSESSED with the NFL, Fantasy Football is a massive thing over here. People who barely know Football tune in and know all the players because of "their fantasy teams"

I'm serious in the office building which houses my company's corporate office and hundreds more everyone in that building plays Fantasy football men, women, young or old it's all anyone talks about from about July (as most fantasy drafts are in August) until February (football ends after the super bowl each February) so that's like 4 months only when most everyone is not caught up and consumed by the phenom that currently is the NFL in this county.

Don't get me wrong I love my football too always have but boxing has always been my #1.

You gotta come harder than Wilder is currently to grab this countries attention

 

hilarious tbf m8

 

for me personally, its because he really isnt very good and his team know he isnt very good, thats why they are content with hustling the bum circuit for as long as people will buy it. also, he has 0 charisma and sounds like he has a learning disability when handed a mic.

 

He robbed murican's spiritual and physical soul brother Dustin Nichols. It was practically a treason.

 

neither wilder nor boxing are popular here in the midwest either.

 

people only know mayweather

pacquiao was cared about when he associated with Floyd but since he lost that crowd abandoned him and flocked to McGregor

nobody really seems to follow boxing

 

^^^THIS^^^

Nichols is more famous in the US, believe me

 

I live in the Midwest..

Freaking lame here smh. It's cheap and relatively safe at least, but bad beer, country music, football, big trucks,and bad fashion rule the roost here. Need to get back to the east coast

 

Even his sole top 10 opponent is iffy. A guy who's claim to fame is beating Arreola. He really doesn't have a single solid win. I know it's not easy in HW division to find good opponents but fkn hell

 

Looking back I think Stivernes hype if you want to call it that has been built from being Vitalis mandatory for a long time. No real other reason.
