Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Pumped To Face Eric Molina at Home

[Humean]

1) The WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, is making a voluntary title defense on Showtime.

2) +10,000 fans (record attendance for a basketball game was around 9,500 and that was without the option of adding floor seats) will likely watch their hometown star make the title defense.

3) 1.5m-1.9m homes, conservatively, will likely tune in for the fight (audience for Stiverne-Wilder peaked at 1.35m homes, and Wilder's face has been seen during nearly all of the PBC events so far and will be seen for the 3-4 shows leading up to his own fight, exposing him to 15m-20m homes, though unclear of how many unique homes are in that figure).

4) Eric Molina is a better fighter than this site gives him credit for (people on this site have simply gone to look at Boxrec, rather than actually watching the Arreola-Molina and Molina-Zambrano Love fights, his most recent outing, to decide with their own eyes).

5) Wilder is likely to win the fight, in thrilling and impressive fashion

6) The general sporting press (most mainstream of which will likely be ESPN) will go HAM, raving about this young, big punching, American heavyweight champion (and tacitly comparing him in passing to Wladimir Klistchko, the safety-first, hug happy Eastern European heavyweight with the other belts who has ****** the energy out of the division, tbh, for the American boxing audience).

stay salty, NSB

Is Molina, at least roughly, the best possible opponent for Wilder? As for your 4th point, no he is not better than people are giving him credit for, he is rubbish. All your other points could be achieved with a better opponent than this, which raises the question of why are you so inclined to defend this fight?

Wtf happened to Showtime's boxing budget? It's like it just disappeared. They have 1 fight schedule at the moment. What is that? 3 cards in 6 months?

Looks like wilder is going to be another Bowe, he did the same thing after he beat Holfield, fought washed up bums.

They aired the replay of Mayweather vs Pacman and only had a canned interview with the fight. I suspect the ratings for the replay were terrible because of this. Briggs needs to stalk the other "champ" as another Molina will want Showtime boxing fans to learn the art of cooking or knitting or some other boring hobby.....
