I live where I got in my sig, Jax, FL.

I'll ask Res this since he lives overseas as well @reservoirdogs, who's more popular where you from; Wilder or AJ?
AJ, easily. Wilder got more known than before around his fight with Fury but still Joshua is more known worldwide and across Europe. Social media number tell the same story, not that they exclusively speak for a fighter's popularity but 10 millions is a big difference in follower base, the kind of difference where you can say AJ is more known than Wilder.

For now... instead we will see Fury beating Wilder a third time :unimpressed: Boxing for you... nobody cares about that shyt aside of them lunatics who ate up the "glove gate".

Let's hope they get done with it quick while AJ fights Usyk so we can see this shyt at last.... :francis:
I see some more bullshyt ahead tbh.

Your mini survey with your co-workers mean shyt, man, it's not a representative sample. 6 ppl for fukk's sake :mjlol:


Joshua has like 10 millions more followers on Instagram but Wilder is more famous, yeah, alright :russ:
Joshua also sells more tickets in his own, earns more, etc...

Wilder is likely more famous in the US and that's it,but not even sure about that tbh
Nice to have followers but it hasn't translated in the richest country in the world though.

:yeshrug:
I don't think that loses sleep over how popular he is in the States. It's a big market and potentially they will want to enhance his name more in the US too but still one of the 3 most famous active boxers in the world, along Canelo and Pac. So I think he's good

He cares....that's where the real money is. That's why he couldn't wait to do the Ruiz rematch to make it right. He can hide in the UK if he wants but Americans won't care.

Where the real money is? He gets paid the best in the division. Or in the whole sport besides Canelo. He got a truckload of money for the Ruiz rematch too that was in Saudi Arabia. The rematch that he wanted because he lost for the first time and lost all his belts, didn't have to do anything with the USA.
But feel superior if u want to, I won't stop you, it's just baseless

Instead nikkas wanted to believe Wilder was just holed up somewhere depressed an miserable letting contracts expire.. Wilder is black so people just believed he can just be done any kinda way and Fury doesn't have to honor agreements..

cmon
wilder was all over the place mentally after that ass whopping. saying all kind of nonsensical shyt, throwing his trainer under the bus, etc.
for his own well being I thought it would be better for him to let that shyt expire
scary thing is he might actually believe all the shyt he was saying if he really is pushing for this 3rd fight
throwing combos with malik scott ain't going convince me he addresses whatever fundamental issues he has either :francis:

It's not baseless..if you don't blow up in America, who the fukk are you? He said he got a 85 million flip but he made it sound like it wasn't anywhere that it looked like on the outside...that was Joshua saying that. Not me.
