But nobody knows who Wilder is doe!

LOL you actually believe that? It was going to be a big PPV success but Wilder wanted to give it to the fans for free? Come on now, i dont believe that you believe that bull ****.

Lol, yeah that’s all bullocks. He love his fans so much he would prefer to charge them 100 dollars for the Joshua fight, instead of letting them see it for 20 dollars. He would probably make the same amount that he was offer by DAZN on showtime or even less, if that fight happened next on Showtime PPV. But he would rather his fans pay his slave masters 100 dollars, and they support him for that too lol.

Can we at least TRY to put some of the fan boy pom poms away?

In the UK, ppv fights are about 26 dollars US.
In the US, ppv fights are at least 75 dollars US with big fights indeed at $100 dollars.

If Wilder does a ppv aired in the UK, it'll be $26 dollars.
If AJ does a ppv aired in the US, it'll be $75 dollars.

The record is very clear about what Wilder felt the Breazeale fight is worth.

And, it's just as clear what Wilder wants for an AJ fight.

It's as if you Brits aren't used to your champ or his promoter keeping his word or something.

Oh wait...

Mate you are the fan boi lol, and you can’t see it. People are laughing at you with your ridiculous Wilder fanatics post, defending him even if it makes you lot look like a right moron.

Am glad and delighted that PPV Events are cheaper in the UK, only a moron would rejoice in that fact that they pay more for PPV, typical fanboi logic.

Wilder is prepared for his legions morons to pay his slave masters 100 dollars for a fight that they could watch for 20 dollars, but nah he is right doe... paying 100 dollars for his slave masters is the better logic.

Because he's an American. It's been a long struggle but he's finally made it.

congratulations..... Let's see if this will help him sell out his next fight, if not its fruitless and hopeless.

They didn't have to "pull the Breazeale fight off PPV". Wilder was very vocal before that fight was finalized about wanting it on regular Showtime. Just because some fighters are only concerned with how much money they can wring out of their fans for mediocre fights, it doesn't mean all fighters are that way and certainly Deontay doesn't feel that way. His words:

"I've had a long relationship with Showtime. I consider these guys like family to me. We come a long way," he said. "I didn't feel like this fight was a pay-per-view fight. I feel when you have pay-per-view fights they are the special fights, like they're the ones you gotta see, like you'll miss your rent money to see the fight. I don't feel this fight is that type of situation and I don't want people to pay more than they have to pay. I'm the people's champion. I'm not trying to take more than what's due to me. I want to be fair to the people."

As for AJ's financial clout, we've yet to see it in boxing's biggest market...and the June fight on DAZN isn't very likely to change that much. But, if it sells out it might be a sign of good things here for AJ.

But right now? AJ really has very little leverage when it comes to US numbers. He has never sold a ppv in the US and the Miller fight will be his first try at filling an arena here.

And that's why a fight, if it takes place here in the US, is indeed at best 50/50 fight where AJ is concerned. It was like that BEFORE Wilder did a ppv with Fury.

It might be worst for AJ now.

Lolx...... Says a guy that wants 50/50 or no fight. What a clown!! A guy that needed a British guy to sell him in his own country.
Everything you said here is bullocks. Good luck in trying to convince the half brain dead cells.

[chaosisme]

CBS owns SHO, and let's be real, only like .2-.3% of the population watches boxing. Nobody knows who any of these guys are because they aren't getting the ball in the hole/zone/area etc.

The average person wants to see guys playing with balls. Not some dude with his shirt off.

[Laligalaliga]

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.

It's funny how wilder has started talking about who is ppv worthy just because he had one in over 40 fights which he couldn't even sell without the help of fury.
Why do we have so many dead brain cells in the state?

[daggum]

this is a strange post. guessing a joke. his only ppv fight flopped and lost money. cbs owns showtime so that doesnt really prove anything. they are trying to promote him but so far hasnt worked

[Laligalaliga]

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.

Lolx..... For a long long long time. That brother will be 34 soon. I wonder how long the time will be.
Good luck to them all in waiting for that long long time loyalty benefit of a free agent.
