He just hasn't set himself up to get that exposure....not sure who his manager is but fucking get Floyd Mayweather Jr on the phone STAT get Wilder some press! Get some eyes on him....he's an undefeated power punching heavyweight and an American one at that...unreal. But part of the blame has to be his opponents, he has Stiverne, Arreola, and on his record.....Americans can be cynical when it comes to this, we've seen Jeff Lacy, we've seen Gerry Cooney, we've seen Michael Grant, we've seen guys get built up and built up and built up only to wither once the spotlight hits them.
The English have been bumming the fuck out of AJ since he turned pro, and lets be honest until Klit AJ had fought absolutely no one of note, his biggest fight was a grudge match with a pillow fisted unknown (getting beat by AJ was the best thing to happen to Whytes career)

AJ had the luxury of Sky, they backed him from the off and they build his media profile to the point that it was ludicrous, when you have Sky on your side over here you have millions of fans almost immediately, as soon as you get beat they lose interest.

talking of the Sky build up, the casual fan in the UK would have you believe that Linares is up there with the P4P's and that is only because he KO's matchrooms fighters for fun.

I'm not knocking AJ here, I'm just stating how different it is over here.

Just be grateful that DDD is with BoxNation and Frank Warren otherwise he would be fucking global already
