    Isn't he already the 3rd most paid boxer after Floyd and Manny without pay per views?
    Why would anybody be eager to pay extra money to watch boxing?

      No I wouldn't. Wilder is a virtual unknown and he sucks. He would need to KO wlad violently and in highlight reel fashion and MAYBE the rematch is on PPV.

      I am not paying any additional money to see either wlad or wilder fight. Ever.

        When it comes to Heavyweight Boxing? Only American standards do matter.
        Because the history writers are going to link greatness with America in terms of boxing's flagship division. That's why Lewis ensured his legacy in the States. Don't think that the Klitschkos are actually some sort of 'revolution' for Eastern Euros..........even now the Eastern Euros are lacking prospects at HW just a generation later.........HW Boxing will be ruled by either a Brit or American.....Eastern Europe's Heavyweight run lasted as long as the Klitschkos.
        So history will not be kind to them unless they create something in America.

          Usyk has more skills than these new breed of HW's. He could beat most HW's already.

          Wlad on PPV? That would be a downgrade to how he earns his pay as is.

            How do you know?

            His contract with RTD is quite small compared to other fighters, he gets something like ***8364;750k per fight from them I think Boente once said, so he's mostly relying on ticket sales to maximize income - and I've been on the end of receiving a free ticket for a Wlad fight before. It happens quite often. He apparently also relies on % from advertising between rounds which is most likely why he carries his opponents in every fight.

            There's a reason why Wlad wants to fight in America against Jennings, and him signing a contract with HBO - it's in the hope that he can secure a PPV fight. If you think there's a fighter in the world who wouldn't wish to fight on PPV then you quite simply no nothing about boxing.

                  And for the record, Wlad has been on PPV before.
