    Yes I do. So says ESPN's MOST FAMOUS ATHLETES 2019 list.

    And more people will see Wilder's next fight than any other boxer on that list, because they're all fighting on APPS.

    (As Bowie said) Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame ... FAME!!!

    This is called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

    As I remember correctly someone already tried to explain to you, what this ranking is about but I see that he wasn't too successful. So ok, you believe, according to this ranking, that Canelo is less popular than Wilder, Fury or AJ?

    I trust you are also aware that by using the same metrics that ESPN used (Google Trends) to determine this MOST FAMOUS list, 2019 YTD sees AJ already 'MORE FAMOUS' than Wilder? And that is despite the Wilder/Fury fallout from just over 12 weeks ago?

    Well according to a recent Hearn interview Wilder was getting 50% of the US pot from the DAZN deal, but that's not what Wilder is asking for he's asking for 50% of everything including Joshua's UK PPV money.

    what the A side is getting paid is what it is. Floyd always had the up-side and he could demand it. Same with AJ he can demand it. Wilder getting peanuts compared to what he would of got if he signed. I really cant understand his next fight he is getting around half what he would of got. Maybe he should of signed for 1 fight and left the AJ fight when he is free.

    I'm not "drafting an agenda ", I just want to see the fight. Wilder fanboys constantly defend his management team turning down offers. Are you boxing fans or boxing business fans? How many offers have they now refused? 6,7? All we've seen in return is one dodgy offer that they couldn't follow through with.

    I like Wilder but It's obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that his management team are not looking after his best interests. They've made it abundantly clear that money is more important than legacy, despite the fact his earnings have beeen way way below Joshua's in double the number of fights. He made less against Fury than the very first "lowball" offer from Hearn which would have seen him potentially as the undisputed heavyweight champ by now. Their behaviour and constant excuses suggests they don't honestly believe Wilder beats Joshua.

    It's a straight out duck and anyone who can't see that is in denial.

    Hahaha

    He walked from Eddie's $12.5 for AJ only cos the rematch clause s one way. You then seem to forget he went on to have a huge PPV fight against the lineal champ for no doubt huge money.

    You're not so knowledgeable on how negotiating is done are you. Wilder walked from 12.5 and no rematch. Wilder made more money than AJ did in his last fight. That's just a plain fact. It was also hugely significant and helped his stock sky rocket. Now he's been offered multiples of the old offer and a proper rematch clause. AJ unfortunately has been on a downward trajectory ever since he almost lost to Wlad.

    Not true at all. What's your source? AJ's estimated earnings from Poverkin fight was £20m ($26m) Wilder's earnings v Fury estimated at $14m. Both according to the Telegraph (for consistency)

    I think where ESPN put their money tells you what you need to know. Not sure Wilder can. Sell out an avenue or his own family reunion in Alabama.

    Finkel is really scraping the barrell in search of a defence for ducking Joshua, sorry Jerry Heller but you’ve been exposed. No amount of spin can explain why your fighter who normally fights for $2Million per fight has turned down $120Million for 3 fights!

    You’re exposed, revealed, rumbled, if it wasn’t for them pesky kids you might have gotten away with it.

    Wilder was never, ever going to step in the ring with Joshua after seeing AJ battle Klitschko, Wilder and Finkelfix both knew from that night onward that Deontay couldn’t match Joshua and not only would he be beaten but dismantled and destroyed in brutal fashion.

    Call it Daisy, call it Daffy, call it Donald or Howard or whatever you like, any of them will do because they’re all famous Ducks.

    Someone pass me the l’orange sauce

    This really is the bottom line.. Its not like he is getting a 18million offer it was a potential $100-$120 million offer...

    could you imagine getting paid £500 a week in a job

    your manager comes up to you and says as from next week were paying you £5000 a week

    and you say i heard fred is getting £6000 a week and i want £6000 or im leaving

    the following week you start work at a new job earning £500 a week but at least you never let your manager get one over on you.
