The fact is the US, especially with AA fighters don't like nice guys or regular guys. To get a following you have to be portrayed as a villian. Wilder should be popular like Joshua right now. But people won't get behind an AA champion who has an exciting style and good personality...in the traditionally most popular division.

This has everything to do with the viewing audience, who is majority in the US. Sounds like you have to allow the majority US audience :mjpls: to openly hate you, by being evil and vicious.

Because being a regular-good guy, just won't justify all the hate.

And unlike Mexican/Irish fanbases, AA have no nation backing them, and no common tongue like Spanish that ties them back to nation.

I bet Danny Jacobs doesn't fight this year tho :sas2:

lol he just got the biggest payday of his career and had a long training camp, he ain't coming back no time soon.

i'd be more surprised if he comes back at 160,168 is calling him. wouldn't mind seeing him vs degale.



i never really thought about GGG-Charlo until yesterday :jbhmm: i honestly wouldn't mind seeing that happen if ggg-canelo doesn't get done in sept. heiland should be easy work for charlo though.

:dwillhuh:


AB wouldn't get paid MORE than Timothy Bradley if they fought, "a-side" or not.....and he's still never received a paycheck as big as the one's Ward and Bradley have received in their career while being "good guys" the entire time. Matter of fact, AB's never been paid $2 million for 1 fight.




Bradley got paid $2 million to face Diego Chaves on HBO.....Ward got $2 million to face Paul Smith on BET.


whats broner highest pay day?

if broner takes roc nation deal he prolly gets those big pay days .....

AB fukked up staying loyal to al. If ab fought on hbo he would be a ppv star. That's why a pac man ab fight would do more buys than pac man Tim Bradley
