Predict Wilder's Tuesday Announcement
Collapse
-
So you're acknowledging that the holdup in the fight is Wilder pricing himself out than yeh?
Let's be real here too... Hearn and DAZN are no idiots. They were offering Wilder that kind of money in order to make the Joshua fight which could be colossal for them.
If Wilder is now going to get that kind of money from PBC/Showtime to fight the likes of Dominic Breazeale and Adam Kownacki on PPV then good for him... but his value will diminish greatly because of it. His stock has risen on the back of all the Joshua talks and the Fury result; if he goes back to PBC fights then it's just going to drop... especially when his fights are forced on to PPV in order to pay his purse.
My! My! My! The fact is DAZN and Eddie Hearn has underestimated Stephen A. Espinoza. They doubted him. What they forgot was that, he is a mean son of a bitch. Now they didn't think that Espinoza would just relent and not go out with out fight did they?
The fact is, Stephen Espinoza had been con****uously absent and silent behind the scenes all while these negotiations between DAZN and Team Wilder were going on. He is a very shrewd attorney. DAZN and Eddie Hearn hadn't the slightest clue or idea of who the fuck they were fucking with in Espinoza because they thought he was soft and weak.
I knew that Espinoza was grinding and hustling behind the scenes in order to save his fighter and to prevent Eddie Hearn from stealing Deontay Wilder from him. He wasn't going down without a fight.
I believe that himself and Al Haymon has put their collective heads together in order to prevent Wilder from leaving Showtime.
Therefore, don't be surprised if CBS offers Deontay Wilder a $300mil multi-fight deal tomorrow

CBS:Source: https://www.nasdaq.com/article/why-i...port-cm1115855Cable Networks' revenues (13.7%) increased 8.5% to $551 million due to increased revenues from the boxing pay-per-view event on Dec 1, 2018 between world champion Deontay Wilder and British star Tyson Fury. Higher international licensing sales and growth in Showtime subscribers also aided results. Premier boxing events and originals like Ray Donovan, The Chi, Shameless and Billions were the reason behind Showtime's subscriber growth. Notably, the service had 27 million subscribers in 2018.
Lets just say CBS/Showtime couldn't afford to lose Wilder as well is what I'm Assuming
While you have fans who bash Showtime ratings or whatever...Boxing actually MOVES THE NEEDLE for them so NO CBS/Showtime is not getting out of the Boxing Business because it is very profitable for them
My prediction, is that he got a BETTER Deal from whoever regardless if it is CBS and Fox or maybe something that will be new to boxing I guess we will just have to wait and see

hehe good oneThat's their problem. So let then deal with it. However, there is one thing that cannot be refuted and that is Wilder's profile is growing just not domestically in the U.S. However globally and in other parts of the world as well; Especially once he knocks out Anthony Joshua twice he will be as famous as Muhammad Ali.Comment
