    I agree. He still sold out areas even outside Germany and made millions.

    It's just that US and UK had a massive boxing reach in the era before his. Not say any other fans are less important.

    I don’t think by any metric anyone could describe Wlad as a scumbag.

    Wlad wasn’t even the best boxer in his family. Vitali was superior.

    Vitali's resume is laughable comparing to Wlad.

    We are, especially the us fans
    Who brings the money. If Saudi didn't exist, the US market is where it happens

    Nobody liked Wlad. You are just a kid and won't remember what the boxing analysts thought of him. He's boring, dirty and fed on cans

    No you ain't, but you can believe in whatever superior BS there is if that helps you sleep better at night.

    Yeah, that's why Klitschko earned like 100x what Wilder earned, LOL. Even AJ can't hold the handle to Wlad when it comes to making the money.

    A lot of us did. Your circle isn't "everybody".

    You're 10 years older than me acting like you seen Jack Johnson fight live, LOL. And actually the analysts were the ones giving him flowers, opposite to butthurt UK and US fans, who were crying that they don't have anyone who can carry Wlad's jockstrap.

    He beat everybody he needed to beat and did it in dominating fashion. Just cause you think he was boring doesn't change that.

    Let me fact check that:

    Anthony Joshua's career earnings have surpassed $200 million. He earned approximately $75 million from fights in 2024 alone, making him one of the highest-paid boxers. Forbes reports that he is ranked #16 in the World's Highest-Paid Athletes in 2024.

    Wladimir Klitschko's estimated career earnings range from $150 million to $250 million. Specific yearly earnings include an estimated $16 million in 2014 and $35 million in 2015. Forbes reported him as the 98th highest-paid athlete in 2017, with $17.5 million in boxing salary and $4 million in endorsements.

    And remember, some of the AJ's earnings are in the Saudi era. So if UK fans are far superior and that's were the money is, why was AJ earnings smaller than Wlad's? He should have been way bigger as a cash cow.

    He earned 100x more than Wilder? Are you sure about that? Or is that another one of your silly lies/exaggerations

    Wilder has a net worth of around $20m. Is wlad worth 2 billion?

    Also I'm way more than 10 years older than you. You're definitely no more than 21

    That was a silly exaggeration, but you can just look at Wilder's purses when he was fighting in the America and my point will be very clear. Even your old brain will comprehend I hope.

    Nope, but he is worth at least $150 million, which again proves my point.

    Whatever you say old man.

    Boxers all round do seem to get paid better when the focus is on the Western world
    Vlad was supposedly mega tight fisted when paying undercard fighters
