Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: Wilder-Ortiz PPV 'Deal Didn't Make Sense For Us'

It is kinda crayz that we're headed into an era with both HBO and Showtime fazed out of Boxing. It's bitter sweet but needed. People are dumping Cable subscriptions and Firesticks / Streaming Boxes are becoming too much of the norm. The bright side though is Boxing will be in front of a lot more faces. However they start co-promoting (FOX / ESPN) is yet to be seen but Wilder v Fury 2 SEEMS like the 1st step towards that.

Originally posted by DARTH SILKWORMS View PostWilder's loyalty is to PBC. PBC rewarded that loyalty by creating a bidding war between FOX and SHO. Wilder is now guaranteed a lot of money regardless of how many buys the PPV actually does and the pressure is on FOX to promote the PPV like crazy so they can make their money back.
I don’t think Haymon had to even create a bidding war, Wilder’s so ****** (from a business/financial sense) that I’m sure he’s very easy for Al and Finkel to manipulate, it’s hard to defend someone who turns down 100m with a straight face.

DAZN: Deyonce, here's $20m to fight Breazeale, $40m to fight AJ and another $40m to fight AJ.
Haymon: I can do better than that Deyonce, here's $10m to fight Breazeale and now you have to fight Ortiz again for another $10m. We outsmarted those DAZN muhfuckers so much that Showtime dropped us.

I don't see what the big deal is. SHO opted not to air the PPV. Fox will air the PPV. Does it really matter if Fox or SHO handles the PPV?
