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

[sicko]

I'm OK with just getting Breazeale out of the way now. Blame the WBC for giving him Mandatory Status without really earning it. Once again Belt Organizations leave us with matchups NOBODY want to so. You're Mandatory but we will Drop you to #4, it is something not even Suliman can explain

IBF leave their #1 and #2 Spot "NOT RATED" I use to find it weird but now I understand it! That allows them to make fighters EARN Mandatory Spots instead of auctioning it off to the highest bidder like the other Belt Organizations

I thought Spence made 3 million vs Peterson?

Let’s put our rivalry aside for a second, with Wilder’s viewing figures don’t you believe he is underpaid. I don’t want to use the term getting milked but......

What rivalry? Lol.

Sure, Spence probably made 3M made against Peterson, but that wasn't what was reported to the commission.

Purses for the #SpencePeterson card: Spence $1.2 million, Peterson $600k, Easter $310k, Fortuna $65k. #boxing #EasterFortuna

And this was Wilder's reported purse against Ortiz:

So what makes you think Spence is making more than Wilder? I bet Wilder ended up close to or around 4M against Ortiz.

I don't think he was underpaid at all. The landscape has now changed but he was making about as good money as one could without fighting on PPV.

Wilder is going to have to think long and hard after this May 18 bout because if Fury does indeed wants to fight him again which I don't believe. Then he must be willing to sell his soul to ESPN; Other than that there will be no rematch.

Arum would want several options on Deontay Wilder's service. Perhaps as many as 5 fights. His end game is to cut his rivals, Al Haymon, Stephen Espinoza and the Fox television network completely out the picture.

The old man has many dates, time slots and a huge commitment he must fulfill with ESPN. Therefore, he needs as many fighters as he can get in order to fulfill them.

He is setting a trap for Deontay Wilder. He is going to attempt to steal him.

Cool....

It will be on FOX in a prime time slot. He has done well for them. Wilder will be the meat of the promotion.

This is the best option. PPV would be a disaster, he's not a draw and needed Fury just to do 300K buys. You go out and do your own PPV and let's say it does 100K buys it might pay him more but will be a horrible look and held against you in negotiations with Fury or Joshua. If you fight on regular Showtime no doubt this fight does less viewers then his fight with Ortiz last year and that ends up being held against him in negotiations as well. Slap the fight on FOX promote the phuk out of it get it in front of as many people as you can even if you make less money you will make the money up on the back end when you land a rematch or fight with Joshua.

People like you that defend the top guys ducking, and encourage them not to fight each other are sick in the head.
Hope you will sleep better knowing Fury has $80m to spend on coke.

You represent everything that is the wrong in the heavy weight division.

A lot of you UK fanboys would rather see there home fighters fight bum after bum there whole career than see them risk a loss against a top guy.

AJ - Fighting bum
Whyte - Fighting Bum
Fury - fighting Bum..

These guys have all ducked each other to chase the easy dollar and the loser is the fans.

The only one with any real balls who wants to fight top guys seems to be Wilder.

You are dumb moffo
What did you do or say when wilder ducked a career high paydays and a chance for the undisputed?
You are sick in the heart be honest. You need medics.

What did I miss? Why is Fury Wilder not next?

[Jkp]

It’s almost like you arrived on planet Earth in 2018. Fury’s last 4 fights is better than Wilders entire resume and I’m including those 2 tune up fights Fury had. Listen the thing is I actually like Wilder but his fans are brain dead. Let me retract that not all them 4or 5 of his fans are cool. However let’s play along. Wilder has never fought B#ums

I am not a wilder fan, and I couldnt care less about resumes, or the past. I dont care who they fought in 2016 or 2017. I dont care if Wilder fought the tooth fairy in 2011.

Wilder is fighting top ranked guys in his last 2 fights and clearly wants to continue fighting top ranked guys.

AJ/Fury clearly dont want to continue fighting top ranked guys. They just want to milk some gullible fans by fighting bums in mismatches.

If you couldn’t care less about the past you wouldn’t mention the 50 million saga. If you truly don’t care about resumes don’t compare or talk about them then. You are in self denial if you claim you are not a Wilder fan. Didn’t Fury just fight the baddest man in the planet last fight? Didn’t AJ said 3 percentage offers within the last month to the baddest man on the planet?

Next you will be telling me you don’t care about all the feeble excuses Wilder gave for drawing the fight as Baby oil is a PED

And you have proved my point. You're a critic. And while I'm sure you believe yourself to be, you're not objective. Objectivity need not CALL BS. Why, because objectivity doesn't present opinion, just facts, not even an interpretation of what the facts "mean".

That’s why I use facts and common sense. You are a lover of wilder so I don’t blame you. You wouldn’t necessarily see common sense or objectivity if it hits you in the face when it comes to Wilder.... I swear you still the only poster who defend his team when I claimed they didn’t do a good job for him after 10 years. You would defend anything Wilder, so I take your words with a pinch of salt when it comes to him. You might as well be one of his paramour with the way you go above and beyond to defend anything that might make him look negative.
