Comments Thread For: Wilder: I'm Still Part of PBC, No Bad Blood, But I'm Willing To Work With Anyone

[jockpunk]

Wilder is one of the only fighters who won't put up with Al''s nonsense. You know damn well Al never wanted him fighting tyson fury but wilder and cameron dunkin forced that fight. He lost, but at least he tried to be great. At this point, there are really only a half dozen or so relevant heavyweights (fury, usyk, joshua, joyce and ruiz) so I don't know what fights he thinks he can get. Of those ruiz is the easiest to make so I don't know why he just doesn't go ahead and take it. Unfortunately, he wants a certain amount of money and showtime doesn't have that budget so they have to put it on ppv where it won't do great either. The reality is wilder needs to accept that he is going to have to take a significant paycut for at least the next fight or two. He doesn't seem to understand that.

Al Haymon is the greatest advisor ever. Go get the haters money

I’m glad PBC is bringing boxing back to network television

Smart decision, don't burn any bridges in boxing.

If Wilder is only fighting for the money and his heart is no longer in the sport; Then perhaps it would be best if he just retire. He made a lot of money from that Fury Trilogy but it was promoted by Top Rank and not the PBC.

He won't make nowhere near that type of money fighting another PBC fighter. I know that both Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn would love nothing more than to sign him to one of their current roster of heavyweights.

Wilder still hasn't been paid fully for the Helenius fight? Sounds like AL Haymon has his fighters on payment plans. Hopefully the well hasn't run dry yet. Is that why these fighters are only fighting once a year, twice if they're lucky? I mean how is money the problem when every PBC fight is on pay per view anyways?

Yes. Floyd fights on Dazn. The investors have stopped putting money on pbc. Fyi the investors are white. Pbc is not a black owned company. I don’t know why people say al haymon owns pbc. He does not.

what money? Nobody buys their fights. Haymon is just a guy in a gimp suit getting back doored by old men that look like daddy warbucks. And he enjoys it. Wilder isn’t with that.

Haymon also ruined Kownacki`s career. Instead of fighting AJ and Chisora he suggested him to get beaten by Helenius twice for much less money.

The last I checked Floyd Mayweather, Jr was retired and is no longer an active fighter under any contract. So he is free to do whatever the Hell he so please.

"No bad blood. I'm still part of PBC. I'm just an open agent, open fighter. I want to fight on all types of platforms, I'm willing to work with anyone. I have no problem with PBC, we're still thriving," Wilder said said.

What "we" is he talking about?

As a 'boxer/fighter', there is a 'shelf-life', and he will reach his 'expiration date', a long time before PBC, Al Hayman, and Mayweather Promotions will reach theirs.

Say what he wants now, and walk away, but at the end of the day I see him crawling back to PBC, Al Hayman, and Mayweather Promotions for that last 'boxing exit pay-day'.

What's his value to PBC, Al Hayman, and Mayweather Promotions?

He can't beat Tyson Fury, AJ does not seem to want to fight him, and he's not in a rush to fight Andy Ruiz.

I like Wilder, and I am not a fan of 'PBC, Al Hayman, and Mayweather Promotions'...but I think he thinks to much of him self and as a fighter, what's he worth.

Maybe Wilder is trying to pitch a slow curve ball to BLK PRIME for a Terence Crawford type deal, but I don't really see them doing that with him, because in my opinion, he is not a 'Hall of Fame' type of fighter like a Crawford, Spence or even a Fury...maybe.
