    Place your bets. Who gets Wilder-Ortiz 2; SHO or FOX?

    The Deontay Wilder vs Luis Ortiz 2 rematch will be announced sometime this week.
    But on which network?
    Showtime PPV or FOX PPV?

    Showtime has showed Wilders last few fights (including the first Ortiz fight.)
    Fox has shown 2 Wilder fights.

    Who gets it?

    Fox PPV are doing bigger numbers if CBS gets very involved and promote the fight like Fox does maybe I can see it going to showtime

    Wilder been all over Fox recently so my bet is on Fox PPV

      I think Fox cuz the first fight will be an easy sell since it was a classic fight with some controversy involved!

      Wilder needs to be careful this year has been upset season in full effect and Ortiz has promised to rip the title away from Wilder’s unconscious body and he’s been training for months now!

      Ppv buys should clock in at 200k tops

        Whoever is dumb enough to pay both fighters big bucks for this farce.

        Ortiz turned down $7m to fight AJ. I hope he is not getting less than that.

        Deyonce turned down $20m for the Breazeale fight to take less on Showtime.

        Right now he could have been on $40m for fighting AJ if he hadn't lost. If he isn't then I would be seriously questioning my advisors. I suspect he isn't even getting $20m for this fight.

        They both took this path of fighting for less money to duck the big hitter. I suspect Fox and Showtime are not breaking the bank for this one.

          Ortiz alone expects to get at least $5 million for this fight
          because Haymon advised him to turn down the AJ fight.
          What is Espinoza going to do now?
          He's already been overspending in every Wilder fight
          just to keep him from crossing the street.
          Loyalty doe.

              Chickens are coming home to roost.
              This is what you get for crying lowball too much when the offer is coming from the other side of the street.

              Why is this being a topic at all, is all I'm saying.

                  You gotta wonder what's going on with Showtime. 2019 is year 1 of 3 of their PBC contract. The contract called for one fight a month. The first 7 months had one PBC fight each but they had nothing in August, they're gonna have nothing in September, and nothing is scheduled for October-December. It throws some gas on the fire of those rumors that if Wilder-Ortiz II goes to FOX, they're getting out the PBC business.

                    PBC needs to just cut ties with showtime ALTOGETHER!

                    They dont need showtime.
