    Oscar Rivas, Eleider Alvarez both with Al Haymon and recently fought on ESPN...Just Saying

    It is completely up to what the fighters want to do, if they want to go over to ESPN like Eleider Alvarez or if they want to go to DAZN like Jesse Vargas then that is what will happen

    Stop Blaming everybody else but the fighters because they do have a Say when it comes to their own Careers

      Fury contract with ESPN is to fight in the states so forget about seeing him fight in the UK

      All the heavyweights fighting here now

        Clearly showtime have a different interest in Deontay wilder than those guys.

        He’s their main man, or at least top 3. It would be a big blow for showtime if Wilder fought somewhere else, especially a fight as big as the Fury rematch.

          Why do you want to shun Showtime out so bad?

          They did the first fight, it all went great and they've been behind Wilder his whole career.

          You're coming off very "agenda" based with those comments.

            Warren and Arum don't want the fight so don't hold your breath.

                its not about shunning anybody its the simple fact that wilder is a free agent and he is legally allowed to fight on any network. trying to include showtime will only complicate things and won't even be worth it financially. if showtime loved him so much why did they not try and lock him up with an exclusive contract. espn did it with fury and gave him 20 mil a fight.

                  such a relief to hear,!

                  , should be no issue for wilder to over to fight fury on his turf just like fury did in the first fight

                    Joshua himself said he'd fight Wilder for 50 million. How'd that turn out?
