i think they've had this deal in place a while. Showtime is just gauging how bad the ppl want it. they want to see a spike in ratings, and this is the trick they pulled gut capture your interest. i must admit if i wasnt thinking above it i'd surely be intrigued and pissed if i were to miss this fight...
should be one of the most watched fights of the year on sub networks...but it wont be..more ppl will tune into see mismatches like roman vs cabbie and ggg vs cabbie...

i dont mind watching a mismatch, but we have to show up or this sport dies man

Ryabinsky is trying to squeeze every penny out of Showtime because he knows he's gonna lose at least $2-3M on this fight.

Wonder if Wilder's Showtime contract goes out the window when Povetkin beats him?
