Comments Thread For: Wilder on Possibly Killing Breazeale: Not One Bit of Remorse

[Armchairhero]

Yeah but you ok with Dom & Eddie Hearn making fun of Wilder's handicap daughter. FOH

When and where did Eddie Hearn take the piss out of his handicapped daughter? I don’t believe that ever happened accept in your alternate world

Many don't see it that way. Hearn stirs the pot too. He understands that the more people hate Wilder the more they are willing to pay to see Joshua fight him. This has been the way for a while. Remember how they villified Hagler a little to promote Leonard Hagler?

Man I love talking to real old school boxing fans versus the young kids who probably never saw hagler fight. And yes I do remember that, it was good versus evil exactly how it was with dlh vs Mayweather. We are a long way from a 12m flat fee to a 100m contract with an obscure web app arnt we.
That ESPN popularity article was all about web searches, those who obsess with seeing him lose are driving up his worth

For such a bum, people on this site sure get riled up every time Wilder gets an article on NSB. It amazes me every time. People may start tuning in, hoping to see him lose.

No need for amazement. We're boxing fans. We'll even watch two pizza delivery boys scrap.

You can go and rob a bank and it will make you more money doesn’t mean it is right. His words are distasteful . I’m a self centred individual so as long as he doesn’t direct his threats to anyone I know I don’t give a S#hit doesn’t mean he is right to say what he said. The fact you are even focusing on people that are criticising him on his words it’s weird in itself

Lets not conflate this instance (the no remorse statement) with the response to Wilder as a whole.

[Ake-Dawg]

You can count on one hand the amount of times Sky sports have paid for A Deontay Wilder fight. 6 months ago sergey lipinets was more popular than Wilder in the U.K. let’s see his upcoming fight how popular he has become in the U.K. because if Sky doesn’t want it he is not big enough. Although watching a Wilder fight at 4 am in the morning is a factor I suppose. I can’t imagine too many Americans staying up to 4.30 am to watch Aj

They picked up Wilder Breazeale. Maybe that is the start of a trend.

[Ake-Dawg]

It’s not just U.K. fans critiquing him. Wake up!!

That's inconsequential to the point I'm making. Just like the fairness statement, business doesn't care about the legitimacy of any critique.

[Ake-Dawg]

LMAO and Sky's payment for 4AM TV rights is gonna be close to the PPV generated by Floyd?

Didn't say that nor did I imply that. Applying a similar strategy doesn't mean acquiring a similar result. However one has to acknowledge that their strategy is working.

I enjoy a good impromptu domestic scrap myself but still wonder why Wilder is so polarizing to certain posters.

[Larry the boss]

what a ****** thing to say
