      In other words you have no answer for that question. Just like I thought. He tried to fight Povetkin in Russia but apparently you've conveniently forgotten that and how it ended.

        You'd think they might drop the price for the stream version of the PPV. I like that Showtime is going online with their PPVs but the UFC model is ****.

        DAZN needs to get Haymon on board so fights like this don't cost seventy-five dollars to stream.

          Fury was chasing Wilder like everyone else he first tried to get him in 2013. Wilder promised to fight him after the Audley Harrison fiasco in Sheffield. Fury gave up and went chasing Klitschko who he got in 2015 ..

          In the same year Finkel explained Wilder ducking the main men saying Wilder was a baby heavyweight and just a great prospect.

          Fury started after Wilder again after winning the belts but unfortunately tuned into a coke head and had a mental breakdown.

          So in answer to your question duck mode starting in 2013 but peaked about 2015 , pre 2013 I'd just say it was extreme cherry picking.

            So Fury got tired of chasing Wilder and fought the bigger fight instead. Poor guy

                $75 PPVs are probably responsible for the decline in popularity boxing, you're not gonna pay that if you're only kind of interested.

                AJ charges $20ish and earns 6 times that, it makes it more accessable to casuals so you get more buys, that more than makes up for the price drop. Feel like they've missed an oppurtinity to get massive PPV numbers and stick it to Eddie by pricing themselves so high.

                  Can’t help but notice the people in here claiming 8000 tickets and free tickets and all that garbage are the same posters that said Wilder had already signed on to fight Breazele.

                      Why was Tyson fury CHASING Deontay Wilder in 2013? Wilder was an unranked, little known heavyweight. Not the type of fighter anyine chases.

                      Wilder didn’t win the title until 2015.
