    Highest paid athlete's foot sufferer, perhaps.

    Wilder is not very bright and obviously is being told this nonsense because he's not all there and is easily the most oblivious boxer as well as the second most narcissistic fighter next to Mayweather ( though he earned it ) I've ever seen in 30 plus years watching boxing.

    Wilder will most likely retire by 2022 and he can take all his riches as richest man in the world ( in his head ) with him ! :band:

    Certainly the highest paid KO artist of unemployed bus drivers.

    He will get paid his $2M purses on the Mount Everest from here on out.
    Of course he has to come get the money up there himself.

    These fighters today are influenced by this social media stuff. Popularity and money are important, but it will not guarantee greatness. Personally, the way Wilder is built with those thin legs. I think he will be knocked out eventually. He cannot absorb a big punch. Not from what I can see. Joshua would stop him if he lands. In that fight it matters who lands first.

    In fairness half a million a week times 52 is 26 million a year. Wilder could possibly make near double that in 1 AJ fight. And if 2 happen next year (which I doubt) then he's looking at some major numbers. But he's still not going to be the most paid athlete

    We've seen how Wilder fights when he's fighting someone he thinks my hit him with decent amount of force in Stiverne 1. I think he'll think he can get Joshua when he's fading down the stretch. The problem will be Joshua will have landed and finished him long before then.

    I genuinely don't think he'll go 5. Too easy to hit.

    Cue then complaints of how Fury was allowed to recover and he wasn't.

    YEY GO WILDER. BOMMMBSQUADDDDDD. He is going to be the highest paid athlete in the world and the Yuleverse. Youd better believe it haterz. No i mean it youd better believe it because there wont be any gate revenues or Wilders cuts, they wont tell us anything, they will just have us believe. You heard what Espinoza said, Espinoza man, thats a man you can trust.

    Probably not, but its a mistake to think its not possible. He's been growing his stature in the last 18 months. If he fights and beats AJ, he inherits a bunch of AJ's viewership. AJ's probably in the top 6 or 7 of highest paid athletes on the planet. And Wilder's US base gives him a higher ceiling than AJ. Meanwhile he's still got a few more interesting, high profile fights to do after AJ, in Fury and Usyk. So, if everything went perfectly for him, yes, its possible. I just don't think he'll get the wins he needs to get there.
