Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter: HBO, Showtime Interested in Wilder Fight

[djt117]

This is the way it should be, this was the old format and a better format in which Networks could put in a bid. I liked this format better! Shouldn't ***ing matter who is the manager of who and who promotes who

Agreed but I don't think this will cost either network very much. They're bidding on the rights to show an afternoon fight that presumably they would cover from the studio.

Plus if Wilder wins, it's kind of a waste for HBO because Wilder's next fight would probably be on PBC unless it's against Wlad (who HBO has a contract with) or Fury (who I hear may be close to doing the same)--and the interest from HBO seems obvious as they are carrying the Fury-Wlad rematch and Fury has had his own Real Sports segment already.
