Wilder to CBS?

It's terrible for any type of card tbh, TT is in his 40s, the man who is calling himself the future of the division should not be wasting time defending his belt against the likes of TT. The fights just sound uninteresting but Thompson is a top 10 heavyweight right now. Fury and Glazkov are chasing Klitschko. I wonder if Wilder could fight Ruslan Chagaev for his WBA "regular" belt in a "unification" fight.

That sounds about right... Not bad for a free tv card.. It's terrible for any type of card tbh, TT is in his 40s, the man who is calling himself the future of the division should not be wasting time defending his belt against the likes of TT.

I think it will be Seth Mitchell. They don't want to risk Wilder looking bad (ala being David Priced by Thompson) and they don't want the opponent to be some chubby old guy either. Casuals won't care about records so long as the opponent looks like a body builder ... worked for Mike Tyson. Is Seth even making a comeback? I spoke to him about a year ago, and he was seriously considering retirement from the sport.

Ofcourse CBS wants Wilder. He's a potential major star, A cash cow for any network. His fight with Klitschko will be the biggest HW fight since Tyson V Lewis

Best fight for Wilder, To tune himself up for a Klitschko? A low risk, high reward fight. Eurobum Tyson Fury.

I have a feeling it's going to be an American opponent. Thompson, Tarver, Mansour, and Arreola are all on Haymon's list.

Maybe they could get Lucas Browne over here too. It'd look better on TV. Two undefeated heavyweights. America vs Australia, however they'd market it. Unless Andy Ruiz is ready for a championship fight, he's #8 in the WBC. I'm sure they will save Browne, or fury for later down the road.. I think for the first fight it will be someone ranked but not threatening... They want to introduce wilder to casuals and grow his name before he takes any major fights.. Browne-wilder would be a sweet fight

It'll be Tony Thompson if anything. He's actually in the top 10 for the WBC Heavyweights. That sounds about right... Not bad for a free tv card..

It will probably be a recognizable name to american casuals.. Someone with name recognition that wilder can knockout and look good... Rahman? toney? All jokes aside, I hope it's someone like fury but we will probably end up with the returning seth Mitchell It'll be Tony Thompson if anything. He's actually in the top 10 for the WBC Heavyweights.

If he does fight on network television it won't be against Fury. It will be a Tarver type. Fury is too dangerous for a network gig. They want Wilder to look good and win.

would be very cool to see a heavyweight titlist fight in the US on national tv.

Al haymon written all over it

I remember Espinosa said that wilder could be on CBS pbc because he is already a rating star

They also did a promo for him on NBC he will be on one of those networks for sure.

wouldn't be suprised
