1) so what? Who else was he supposed to fight?
2) wilder is as big a draw u gone get out the American public
He could have fought AJ, the Fury fight not happening wasn't his fault though, Breazeale was a mandatory but undisputed would have been able to delay it if he took it. Now if he fights Ortiz then Kownacki that's certainly his fault, neither are mandatory and would be his decision, he's already beaten Ortiz fairly recently by knock out, there's no need to fight him again and he should destroy Kownacki. He should be fighting AJ next, but even aside from that there's other fights for him, Whyte has been ranked number 1 for ages and deserves his shot too.
And not really, Canelo is a much bigger draw than Wilder.
. Almost nobody tuned in for Brazile. People want to see Wilder fight somebody with champion blood, they knew this would be a walk in the park. Heavyweight fights just aren't must see TV anymore. When/if he fights AJ, it will do huge numbers.
at 990k views on Showtime (where Wilder only fought for 120 seconds) being terrible... No surprise the guy in the video isn't from America, because he has no fukking clue how the American market works when it comes to boxing.
