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

Only way this could maybe do well on POV is if he fights dillian whyte.

Lol watching wilderettes defend that move after calling Whyte “Shyte” will be epic.

[DaNeutral.]

Well Deontay had a nice little journey, built a little legacy by just about beating an overrated old man, with questionable help from the officials and then being gifted a draw after clearly losing to Fury. He said he was going to take his career under his own control and thats whats happened. But it was fun while it was lasted but back now to the day to day of being paid not alot on NON PPV against a man Anthony Joshua demolished, on PPV.

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. Hearn seems to be the only promoter that focuses on prior purse size.

Why is it so hard for "certain" fans to understand that the benefit of working with Haymon is that he shows fighters how to create alternate revenue streams outside of the typical purse. Seems that they like not having to deal with a greedy promoter who things he's part of the show like DLH, Hearn, Arum.

Whyte joining PBC and fighting Wilder first would be dumb for Whyte. Losing in your US debut is not how you market yourself to US fans for future fights. It would be great for him to get a title shot but a huge financial risk. Whyte is a upgrade over Breazeale but getting the mando out of the way is probably better at this stage (the money won't be much different).

At this point, you are just proving you are a delusional PBC shill trying to disguise as being objective.

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.

You’re actually right. Anyone can be put on PPV. Even me vs you. We just have to also be willing to accept that we will probably have to buy all the ppv views ourselves.

Wilder is not a ppv star. Not yet. He could have and really should be on par with Pac-Man and broner, but his career has been mismanaged so far.

I definitely think his career was mismanaged. The Fury fight and tagging on to Joshua's name has really helped him over the last 12 months but years and years of fighting no hopers did a lot of damage to his name/reputation.

Honestly Wilder should be the star at HW now if his team had got him in the right positions.

Not unifying that belt with Charles Martin is still one of the dumbest decision from his team/PBC, not being pushed to fight someone like Haye or Wlad was silly as well.

Yup, every heavyweight in the division is terrified of “gas by round 5 of every fight, hold on to feather fist Parker for dear life” Whyte.

Gawd, that made me laugh!!

A Wilder vs Breazeale PPV would do sub 100,000 buys.

[KTFOKING]

A Wilder vs Breazeale PPV would do sub 100,000 buys.

Doubt it. Would still get around the 200k mark. He's riding high off the Fury fight and his name is big enough to get it around that mark, even if Breazeale isn't a big name.

But Espinoza said on Mannix's podcast that the cut off line for him to put something on PPV is 300k buys. He said if a fight can do 300k buys, then sure, put it on PPV as the promoter will end up with around 10M. But anything lower and he said he's not sure if it is worth it with the limited eye balls on the fight and not being able to generate all that much PPV revenue. Will be interesting to see what they decide to do with this fight.

Wilder vs Breazeale will still out sell fights like GGG vs Lemieux, GGG vs Jacobs, Ward vs Kovalev, Crawford vs Khan and possibly Spence vs Garcia.

[club fighter]

Why not Wilder vs Parker? He's been kissing the UK's azz for a couple years and lost belts & fights for that. Maybe he should try to break into the US market with a beheading from Wilder.

Another bum for beyonce.
