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

[Rip Chudd]

Not a PPV fight, I guess they want to make people stream.

Wilder always has the puncher's chance but at this stage Helenius can pull the win.

If he can keep Wilder at the end of his jab he can win. Gerald Washington of all people was beating Wilder with no problem using his jab till he made a mistake and got caught. This is nowhere near a PPV fight though. Helenius isn't charismatic enough to help try to sell this to get people interested in buying either

Best Kownacki win is probably Charles Martin, and it wasn't easy.

Martin, Szpilka, Washington, Arreola. He beat 3 Wilder`s championship wins and one Joshua`s.

Kownacki was clear a favorite to beat Helenius in stay busy fight. They thought Wilder would beat Fury in a rematch and that Kownacki would beat Helenius.

After that still undefeated WBC champ Wilder would fight undefeated contender Kownacki.

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.

Yes Seldon dive without getting hit and took the money and ran! For sure Liston dove too. As did Kovalev vs Canelo. Oscar vs Hopkins. Malvarez vs Danny Lopez. And Moorer vs Foreman ) Helenius is an old white guy from Europe, who can't sell anywhere. Wilder draws more bank. Connect those dots.

Love watching Wilder , always edge of the seat stuff.He can take them out with either hand ....he hits like Poppye on spinach.

TWO of my favorites going at it! Gonna buy this PPV TWICE! Betting the house on Wilder to stop Helenius though.

Once Helenius gets hit hes going down, dont think he got the chin for Wilder. Plus Helenius likes to hang around mid to long range hes not exactly and inside fighter so should be easy work for Wilder, good comeback fight.

Wouldnt mind an upset either tho, both guys are my favorites Make it happen. OCTOBER 15th!

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.

He has been unlucky in his career, plagued by injuries and stable issues, causing him to stall his career and only now starting to get "in" at 38 which is way past prime. He is washed beyond belief and his weakness is being inconsistent and clearly his conditioning is a problem. Im a big fan though and I think conditioning wont be a problem vs Wilder as Wilder isnt really a HW pacquaoi.

You guys bitching about ppv need to get over it, wilder has been making twenty million a fight since brezeale, no way can pbc pay him unless its on ppv, and the fact that fox is airing it instead of showtime, means showtime cant afford to pay him either, fox is pretty much done with boxing, but theyre willing to take a chance on a wilder fight, to hopefully make some money

You said Wilder was making $20M a fight since the Breazeale fight?
Lol
Noo he hasn't
You mean since the Tyson Fury 2nd and 3rd Fight Wilder has made $20M
FYI
Deontay Wilder vs Ortiz he made $3M
Tyson Fury first fight he made $4m

The legend continues!

Legend continues you say?
Wilder's stock has risen since his 2 losses?
All these fighters You said are calling him out....
But Wilder chooses to fight Robert Helenius instead?
Lolololol
Well lets wait and see those Fox PPV numbers after this Fight

[OldTerry]

Lets compare Fury's ppv buys (Fury vs Whyte) to Wilders ppv buys (Wilder vs Helenius)

Keep in mind Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium (94,000 sell out) did over 800k on BT Sport Box Office PPV (UK)................................(own country ppv's)

It won't do well compared to the Fury/White fight, but who really cares?
