Wilder Smiles: Next fight on Showtime PPV vs Breazale

[Golden Boi 360]

SOURCES: Deontay Wilder’s planned May 18 heavyweight title defense against Dominic Breazeale is pegged for Showtime PPV. Top Rank offered Wilder $12.5 million, and PBC had to contend with the eight-figure payday, necessitating PPV

And that's why Wilder is a free agent. Every fight he's able to offer his services to the highest bidder. Competition isn't good for the fans, but it's good for the fighters.

It’s pretty mind boggling to see how far boxing has fallen. I grew up watching the sport since the late 80s and a fight of this caliber would never have been on PPV. What is this a joke. Wilder fighting brezeale on PPV wtf lol.

*** the HW division

This fight gives Mayweather vs Berto, Canelo vs Smith and Pacquiao vs Algieri a run for their money in terms of the worst PPV matchups ever. Realistically, how many buys does this fight do?

Good God this better have a great undercard (spoiler: it wont)

[Damn Wicked]

Crap fight but I want Wilder to stop Breazeale quickly and dominantly. Breazeale has been getting to much attention for what he's accomplished. The top heavyweights need to clean out these fat, slovenly heavyweights. Take the garbage out.

It’s good he’s getting paid but I’m not watching this on PPV lol

[Mammoth]

Well, not many will be buying that **** lol

Good God this better have a great undercard (spoiler: it wont)

Undercard will be cheaper than Wilder-Fury.

Maybe Charlo-Harrison II here.

I still don't see this being a PPV. Because Manny vs Thurman or Spence or Mikey is a PPV as well in June. We'll see.
