I've heard several people say he's not being promoted right.

His promoter is in the rectangle in the pic.

I think he's a well known name, but honestly everything in me thinks he should be top 3 attraction in boxing. Is he? I would say its Canelo and Joshua. Not sure who else.

He is. Data (Google Trends link). It's a mutha. Take note of the averages encased in the red rectangles for Web, YouTube & News Search. The fighters are color coded for easy viewing.

He’s not, does he even have a promoter?

If he was with arum he would be way more known.

Like here? On the platform Top Rank has an exclusive deal with?

Showtime just doesn’t have the viewership he needs to be fighting on Fox

41-0/40 KOs if Wilder was white American he would be arguably the biggest star in the country right now

Ehh idk about that, the Charlos, Jack, Canelo, AJ, GGG and other active fighters have their own promotional outfits on paper too but it doesn’t mean shyt usually, they don’t call the shots. The bigger is a fighter the more chance his promotion will be really independent and not just some small proxy. Canelo and maybe AJ could do that now but nobody else and even they don’t. Wilder shouldn’t be the sole responsible to promote himself nit even now in the social media age. He’s close with DiBella.

Abd that google trends stuff... nah man, fighters’ salaries are usually the most telling of who’s the biggest star in the game. Right now it’s Canelo followed by AJ, Pac and GGG and then the group of Wilder, Fury, Spence, Crawford, Loma and Inoue if we are counting Asian market


EDIT: Pac does some promotion too, I guess count him there too
