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.
