Wilder Will Never fight Klitschko

[New England]

kitschko makes most of his money from german TV and gate money.


HBO will not dictate terms to klitschko. they can only pay a fraction of what wladimir makes each fight, unless they put him on PPV. he will never sell on PPV in america. they'd need to build wilder into a genuine star, which will take years.


HBO is limited to around 2 million or so for a single fighter on an HBO championship boxing telecast. if any of you care to recall, HBO blew 1/4 of its budget or more on alexander - bradley, and it ****** and ended in a headbutt. they won't / cant pay more than that.

Partly because he fights guys like Pulev and Alex Leapi and will try to convince people that they actually have a chance. It doesn't really matter who Vladi fights in Germany he will fill up soccer stadiums no matter what. So why fight the best when you don't have to.

This is my point with Wilder now in the US, why fight Wlad when he can who ever and fill up venues like the MGM? America is so starved for a HW that they will come out in thousands to see a HW fight. I mean look at the fight last night against B-Ware.

Good point

I agree that Al Haymon won't advise Wilder to fight Klitschko. Klitschko ain't even known much in the US so it's not like there'll be 1 million+ PPV buys.

It is going to be a while before we see a HW PPV. What Al needs to do is bulk up a card for PPV and maybe put Wilder as a co main event.

The networks aren't the problem they just wanna make money right here right now and that would be a big fight.

Haymon is the problem, he would tell Wilder to milk the WBC belt for 5 years while selling himself as "the champion" to the US audience.

To the USA he is the Champion, I mean who is on Wlad's resume that any casual boxing fan here in the US would recognize? Wilder is a USA Olympic bronze medalist winner in 2008 and his charisma seems to be one with the fans. 3300 with 32 KO's helps him sell a bit. What Haymon would advise Wilder to do is any different than what Wlad has been doing in Germany for years?

Most of us in the US are not as delusional or agenda driven as you. Wlad is the champion. Wilder is a nobody right now. He can become something but right now his resume is not even average for the division.

[low blows]

Who did Wlad defeat to gain the belt in the first place can you even remember? I believe he fought for a vacant title two times before actually beating a champion. In my mind the last true Champion was Lennox Lewis. He defeated Evander Holyfield for his belt.

Wlad beat Byrd twice for his first two titles. He fought for the vacant WBO belt against Brewster and was sparked.

You post on this board about a fringe sport that the casual fan barely has any knowledge of. Trust me the average fan barely knows Wlad and might think Mike Tyson is still a factor in the division. Hence King talking out loud about a Tyson fight.....:blow:
