    You're worse - you're defending him from reflexes. You're not stopping to think how he is damaging boxing.
    Tell it like it is dude. The guy is a teeny name, has a s%$t resume, lost to Fury, and he is ducking Joshua.

    He is disliked by many boxing fans on both siides of the Atlantic for that.last reason.

    I'm out.

      I believe it only because Wilder was very vocal about it before the fight was ever made. He has always contended Breazeale wasn't shyt and that he didn't want to cheat fans.

      Here's another quote from THIS website:

      “Pay-Per-View for me is definitely those big moments, those special magical moments for fights that people have to see. Breazeale don’t fit that bill,” Wilder readily admitted when asked during a recent interview on Tha Boxing Voice podcast. “Nobody knows Breazeale. He tries to play that tough man role, but his voice ain’t even deep enough for starters and he ain’t got no swagger.”

      He has never considered it ppv worthy.

      You believe it or disbelieve it, makes me no difference.

      But, there is a public record.

        Try and keep up.
        He can still fight him without being tied to 1 network, nothing has changed

                Not true at all.

                Some news outlets reported it as possibly headed to ppv once the DAZN deal was rejected.

                Wilder then came out the very next day and reiterated what he'd been saying for the longest about a Breazeale fight- that he didn't think it was ppv worthy.

                Kinda refreshing for a boxer these days if you ask me, but believe what you like...

                I already gave you the ESPN article on it. More from that:

                At the news conference, Espinoza credited Wilder's sense of loyalty -- as well as a good deal -- as the reasons why he chose to remain with Showtime, at least for the fight with Breazeale.

                "It would be an understatement to say that there's been a lot of speculation regarding Deontay's future and we are proud to have him back on Showtime," Espinoza said. "And one of the main reasons this fight is back on Showtime is Deontay Wilder. It was critical to Deontay, for the sport, for his fans, for the entire world, that this fight be available not on pay-per-view but on Showtime without the high price tag.

                "And because of his insistence that is the primary reason we are standing here today announcing a non-pay-per-view fight on Showtime. We've been together a long time and built something special
                . ... He's made a decision that demonstrates his loyalty and a decision which guarantees financial success for a long, long time.

                "And he's not avoiding the big fights. Deontay isn't the one who walked away from the Tyson Fury rematch. He isn't the one who walked away from the Tyson Fury purse bid. He isn't the one imposing conditions on the big fights. Can you imagine for a moment if Deontay said, 'Anybody who fights me has to sign for three or four fights with Showtime and PBC'? All of you would murder him for that, and yet those are the conditions being imposed on him [for a Joshua fight or Fury rematch]. I'm not going to go into detail, but rest assured Deontay has made a choice that demonstrates loyalty and one that will be financially lucrative for a long, long time."

                Wilder declined to discuss specifics of the deal but said he was happy the fight would not be on pay-per-view.

                      Wasn't lying.

                      At least three times a fight with Wilder was on the table for Hearn and AJ and they found a way to not do it.

                      November of 2017, April 2018, and June 2018.
