Comments Thread For: Team Wilder: We're Still Going To Fight on May 18

Seems the whole what you got paid in your last fight is only a big deal among AJ/Hearn fans. It gets discussed among other fans at times, but seems to be particularly important to AJ/Hearn fans...go figure.

You lost me at "AJ fans".... Just because am a Wilder critic doesn't make me a AJ fan, get your facts right.

Fighters aren't paid what they want , it's what they generate unless they have a contract or company that is guaranteeing them money like DAZN is for Miller in his next fight which is way more then Wilders non PPV fights .

Showtime would get killed in money if they put a Breazeale PPV on ,it would do a fraction of what Fury pulled in. Unless I'm unaware they signed a long term Wilder contract I don't see this happening .


This is the problem with protected fighters who decide to fight Arreola and Szpilkas , Duahapas etc....when it comes time to complete with already two bigger draws you are running third place because you wanted to play games and fool the fans with soft touches for a decade and decline big fights trying to run on someone's name , this is Wilder!

Wilder is an example of a boxer that wants to be paid what he wants, not what he brings to the table or what he generates.

Never accused you of being an AJ fan. I classify you as a Hearn fan if I'm being honest. But hey don't let that distract us from the point that prior purses don't really factor into real negotiations. Just in the fan negotiations that Hearn seems to stoke by constantly mentioning financials in the media.

Nor am i a Hearn fan, am just not going to take one side (Finkel) and ignore Hearn.

Is that a genuine naive Question or you are deliberately obtuse?

Why wouldn't it be genuine? You have fights like Spence/Garcia and Crawford/Khan on PPV.

I think it can go either way here. I'd lean regular SHO, but wouldn't be surprised if it was on PPV.

All of the Fighters you mentioned baring Khan are elite fighters . Even Khan with his handspeed and following I can see why though probably not super successful but are eligible for PPV. Brezeale is Dog S#hit. Don’t get me wrong at $75 no heavyweight can carry Brezeale , not Joshua not anyone

History has shown that you side with Hearn, often repeating his talking points, even to the point where you adopted his negotiation reasoning which any person in boxing would tell you is garbage. Hell even Johnny Nelson isn't with that base negotiations on what you made in your last fight mess.

You know more about Hearn than i do, you listen to hearn more than i do, I have a brain. Just because i don't fall in line with the 50m phantom offer doesn't mean i back Hearn or Joshua.

Show me where i have back hearn or move on.

Wilder is a bigger name than Crawford and they would sell the PPV off him, not Breazeale. Wilder is also a much bigger name than both Spence and Garcia.

I just don't think it is a lock to be on regular SHO, that's all.

Me too, i can see them taking a chance on the fight as a PPV event. They would just have to be realistic in how much they guarantee Wilder.
