Comments Thread For: Wilder-Helenius Likely On October 15 At Barclays Center, To Headline FOX Sports PPV

[Grandma Pleaser]

The number of posts and activity on this shows how popular Wilder is

Yes I agree. Expect for the ppv to do over 1million

Nobody forking over 85 dollars to see furys son.

You're completely wrong about this sorry. Usyk would pick apart Wilder.

I agree as long as he doesn't get caught. Would be like Ortiz-Wilder. Easily outboxing Wilder until he was caught in both fights.

If you're looking for a nice retirement check Deontay, Helenius is the wrong PPV dance partner.

War Wilder!

It's good to see him back.

Right? Wonder if Helenius has been paid Handsomely to take a “Dive”. Last time Wilder fought a “Friend”, that also looked like a dive! (Malik Scott).

"Looked" like a dive???? Maybe the most hideously blatantly obvious dive in ring history!!!!!!

Helenius is a darned good fighter though, or at least he was back in the day. Read several times Emanuel Steward saying Helenius absolutely owned Fury in sparring. http://ringobserver.com/2021/10/10/b...pi2sKpPNZn6Tcs

Even though Wilder is down and out and his value is dead at the moment, a win vs a guy like Helenius instantly brings him back for the HUGE jackpot vs AJ in UK, like 8 figures. Wilder has that name recognition and media value. Helenius does not. AJ vs Wilder sells much much much more than AJ vs Helenius. Even if Wilder is an awful fighter they did build him up into a star with strong marketing, promotion and media exposure hype. Helenius is still a far outsider with little selling value. He's totally B side.

I think I have seen worse dives. Ever watched Tyson vs Seldon? Or Ali vs Liston 2? Hell, even Haye vs Harrison.

But, yeah…Helenius (if he is serious), shouldn’t be taken lightly, he can box well when he is on form, he can punch a bit too.

It would have to be like Ali v Frazier 1 and Hagler v Hearns to make this a legit ppv lol!!

Hahaha, yes, you're right but Ruiz -Ortiz isn't ppv worthy either imo; the bar seems to have lowered significantly over the years. Thanks.
