Comments Thread For: Hearn: Deontay Wilder Not a PPV Star; Talks With His Team Better

[Ake-Dawg]

its not an analogy its a comparison..and not meant as an identical one. Its hard to compare people weights apart but there are obvious resemblances in the tactically sound approach and counter attacking style of both fighters

Fury may do some similar things in the ring to Mayweather but he does not win in the same fashion as Mayweather which is the comparison that you made.

What ever doe's that skinny chicken legged wilder look like with that WWE mask on...he should concentrate more on learning how to box than wearing skeletors hand me downs

Are you arguing in favour of PPV? You’d rather pay $75 for a single fight, than $10 for a month of fights?

at fight party you can put in $10 or go to a bar and pay $10 those danz cards have been flat out terrible plus anybody with a decent name s a PPV bout in the uk, whyte vs chisora, brooks last fight, etc,,, we only have about 2 PPVs here a year so at the end of the day you all end up paying more.

I still say wilder needs to be frozen out. Hearn should go way out of his way to deal with Warren who's slightly better then Finkel with Wilder and easier domestic fight. Hearn needs to talk seriously with Joshua to and see that wilder will only fight him if hes left out of options. With no fury as an option everything Hearn said here is very true.

For someone who complains about Joshua fans being accountants you don't do bad yourself daily on here ? Ha

2 x PPV per year at $75 a fight = $150

100 fights a year on DAZN at $9.99 a month = $119.98.

I get that people don’t like Hearn, but surely Wilder v AJ ending up on DAZN rather than PPV would be a good thing for US fight fans?

Far too many fights are PPV in the U.K. that’s true. But Brook v Zerafa wasn’t PPV so that’s incorrect. If only we had a subscription based alternative I’d be all for it...

neither is joshy. filling up a stadium isn't being a PPV star. Hearn is ducking the fight because Wilder will knock his mentally soft fighter out.

You still here bro?? I like your style. You got your arse handed to you yesterday I mean he exposed you in ways I didn’t think was possible had dirt on all the stuff you used to say over the years and just hoarded it, then let rip with Hayemaker after Hayemaker. I thought you would still be at the hospital but you brush it off and keep it moving. You Wilder fans have thick skin. Almost like you had Baby oil on and slipped all his Hayemakers like Fury did Wilder.

Fa$t £ddie's greed is without doubt ridiculous. If the Wilder fight can't be made with a 50% split at Wembley in April, then forget it for now & send AJ to MSG to take on Miller/Ortez, while Wilder/Fury II takes place in the UK. Then the best option is for the 2 winners to take on each other in a 50% contest on neutral ground later in the year. "Greed is killing our sport & the sport should be bigger then the promoter's"!!...

That last line was right on!! Greed is hurting the sport of boxing. The best fights break down over percentages and the fans are left with subpar matchups to watch all because egos get in the way of what's good for the sport.

Well until Joshua can do a PPV in the States he isn't a PPV star either.

Who cares about the UK numbers, they put any half decent fighter on PPV over there plus it's a fraction of the price.

[AdonisCreed]

These Brits are happy to be paying PPV prices for fights that would be regular cable fights. Talking about PPV stars and buys when their PPV standard is so low that they would put Brook/Gavin on PPV. Every big fight that was put on in the US this year would be on PPV if they fought in the UK as opposed to any of the fights that were on UK PPV, would be regular cable fights in the US.

That's a good point never looked at it, that way. Brook/Gavin is definitely not a ppv matchup lol
