and the British nationalists and other assorted PBC/haymon/black America haters are in meltdown over it lol

Yeah, British nationalists love watching American basketball while sipping tea and nibbling their crumpets.

Haters mad that Wilder's drawing big viewership numbers.

I wonder how much these basket ball teams pay Deontay to show up at games and draw in viewers for them?

Lol look at this clown from New Zealand doing his best to fit in. He thinks siding with the Americans will guarantee him his green card like Finkel promised him. You are in for a rude awakening. The minute you land in the USA I have set up for you to be lynched. Orchestrated by 5000 boxing( I can’t incriminate myself)

If anyone happens to be a ****** on here my suggestion to you is to private message this guy and here are the key words GGG, Mayweather,and Shirley Winkel and he immediately becomes moist and horny and basically open for anything...... good luck and don’t thank me, just be careful

You forgot about Manny. And ask him why Ward was begging to fight Floyd at 160 but wouldn't go to 164 for GGG. That's always good for a laugh!

No one in basketball tuned in for Wilder. This is nothing more than click bate.

That's kinda the point to get people who haven't known of him introduced to him.

The number I'm hearing is he got $20M for that appearance.

14 million viewers watching...still won't equal to Wilder selling out Barclays. Even at cheap ticket prices. Maybe they will give tickets away again to make the arena look full, like they did with the Wilder/Fury fight. Any way you idiotic Wilder fans try to spin this, it's still Wilder begging people to watch him fight. Ali never had to do that. Tyson either. And neither one of them would have turned down 120 million to fight in TWO unification fights hahah. Wilder is a fraud chumpion and he will always be a ducker. Keep believing that he is a great boxer, until he gets KOed by a B grade fighter. Then that 120 million will look like a distant memory

Here we go again. The Wilder hater extraordinaire is back at it making up details for the deal again. Now it's 120mil for 2 fights instead 100 for 3. Next week it will 200mil and 50% ownership of Dazn for 1 fight. That 80mil guaranteed will be a distant memory after AJ sell 474 tickets at MSG

That's crackhead money for a superstar like Deontay! SMH.

I think all of that is good exposure and will help. But I think if either Spence or Wilder was going to be a big star, then by this point they would have much more traction by now.

I brought up Spence because quite a few people on here were saying that the Mikey fight made him a PPV guy, like him and Porter would be PPV. I don't know if that fight would do 30k on PPV.

Like I said all of that exposure is good and that is an impressive number for Wilder, but I think anyone saying Wilder or Spence is on track to be a PPV guy, I mean I don't see it.

The cost of buying a PPV vs pirating it online is just killing a lot of guys' chances of becoming a big PPV guy. These streaming services could really help all these guys make money. Wilder passing on that offer from DAZN, if he is thinking he will be a PPV guy, I think that is a very risky and foolish tract/path to take. He's 33 he doesn't have much time left to make his money.

I think the main PPV buyers now are bars/restaurants, those are the places that really take the numbers high. Besides Joshua I don't see who Wilder can possibly fight to really make big money, and that is because Joshua is the number 1 or 2 star in the sport.

The only black PPV boxing star was Floyd and he made it because 90% of the people were tuning in to see him lose. These guys thinking they are going to follow Floyd's path and make even close to his money are off if they are trying to go PPV. I think they are going to cost themselves a lot of money compared to what somewhere like DAZN is offering.

Not Mike Tyson, or Holyfield Just Floyd huh? How many Mexican ppv stars have their been? Canelo. Oscar is American but, you can count him too

Let them break their ******ity first . I don’t want to over complicate things . But you are right if they find the experience easy and they really want to get kinky with him. Look him in the eyes and say Manny Pacquiao and he will perform an act that if you are not careful you may go and live with him and his older Sister in New Zealand.

[KTFOKING]

I mean it was a good plug for him, but why is this even an article? Weren't Mikey and Errol seen by like 25M+ on Thanksgiving? Or I think Errol was the one that was shown in that game right?

Not like 11M people tuned in for Wilder.
