    Can’t we just get these two in the ring already?

      An unbelievable amount of money can't even get Wilder in the ring. He ran from 100 mil for 3 fights to go back to regular Showtime and the 2/3 mil that comes with that. Insane.

        I don't know if you've never left the US and are ignorant, or are just too lazy/dumb to use math:
        Avg UK PPV cost = GBP20 = ~$25-27
        Avg US PPV = ~$70-80

        1.5m UK PPV = ~ 500k US PPVs. 500k US PPVs is not common and is on a high side. It's presumptuous to assume that a fight in US generates more than 500k PPVs.

          The right fight always generates numbers. And this is the right fight. I don’t know if you’re too dumb/lazy to understand that.

            Do you just make **** up? Who says Wilder is getting 2/3 million. Espinoza’s own words were loyalty didn’t come cheap. Now Showtimes probably gonna lose money on this fight but they want the Wilder/Joshua fight. I said this when Wilders team was meeting with DAZN. I said Espinoza’s not gonna go away easy. He’s gonna go kicking and screaming.

              History. Networks can't pay more than a few mil for a regular fight. That's when they put them on PPV. Wilder isn't popular enough for PPV though. Anyone that thinks he's earning "8 figures" for a regular Showtime fight is a ******.

                LMAO.

                Wilder is a coward. That's all. Get over it.

                  You're assuming Wilder would not have shat his panties last year.

                  Guy is the biggest joke in boxing, and possibly ever. And I'm serious.

                    Floyd never got outboxed over an entire fight by an obese former drug addict coming off a significant layoff. That dropped Wilder's stock a lot.

                    He should have been on hands and knees BEGGING TILL THIS DAY!...for that rematch.

                      Coming off of a lay-off please. He already had 2 previous training camps. How many does the man need?
