      He won’t have a choice
      The investors have given him the finger and run the show

      He is just the face now

      Dazn should tell wilder and co to F off and let them rot now for how they have disrespected them

        It's not like Wilder's future projected opposition is helping the matter.

          Im not too good on American Sports tv but Wilder fights usually break a million quite easily dont they? I think only thing to save Showtime Boxing is Wilder AJ on PPV and Spence Crawford on PPV but DAZN and ESPN are willing to pay a much bigger guarantee than Espinoza is so they are a bit stuck and thats why Haymon has his top fighters going sideways rather than taking the fights the public want. He dont want to give them up to the other networks but cant muscle them out of the way to get it his way.

              Looks like the problem is he can't afford to pay the fighters. He had to put 10 mil into the Wilder-Breazeale fight. DAZN and ESPN are making fighters demand more and Haymon can't compete.

                  The reaction to wilder knockout at the weekend should keep Showtime in business for a little longer if there was any consideration anyway. His next fight should have increased viewership now

                    Weird post. Haymon overpaying fighters is bad but ESPN and DAZN doing the same is good?

                      America is not the home of boxing anymore.

                      When they start losing they act like a bratty kid and cry they don't want to play anymore.

                      80% of the interest in boxing in America comes from the Mexican fans.
