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

[Thuglife Nelo]

Why does it matter if Wilder turns down a DAZN offer or what any fighter makes? As a fan all I care about is they fight the best fights possible.

$100mil

1. Breazeale
2. Joshua
3. Joshua rematch

instead

$12mil

1. Breazeale
2. Ortiz
3. ?

Why do you care how we watch the fight?

Why did u say wilder is winning by not signing with DAZN ? He will be at $38 mil after his 29 mil guarantee for Ortiz and the 18 for Breazeale.

If he went to DAZN he woulda got 20 mil for Breazeale and then $40 for 1st joshua fight. Simple math shows he $22 mil down and that doesn’t even account for the other $40 mil for the 2nd joshua fight.

Guess what fool aj lost wilder wouldn’t be getting the money regardless while his career is tied up don’t really see the point of fools bringing up dazn deal that was contingent on aj winning his fight also which he didn’t and now is rematching to try avenge his defeat it’s pointless and just shows how much of a fan girl some of y’all are

Except for the simple fact aj didn’t hold up his end of bargain and lost so wilder wouldn’t be getting no 40 million for a aj fight that wouldn’t be happening... aj has Ruiz problems

Unless Showtime gets away from PBC who has made them a laughingstock they will continue to go down the toilet. Terrible deal with PBC has ruined Showtime Boxing.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: Showtime is owned by CBS, which also owns BoxingScene.com.]

That explains why BoxingScene tops off every PBC fighter then

FOX and SHO have been in a bidding war for months over this fight, FOX makes a bid so large that SHO has to bow out and that indicates to you that SHO didn't want the fight?

Where is talk of this bidding war.

First Im hearing of it.

Link me. Ill check it out.

But historically I just know Stevie E dont like f#cking with big fights during football season.

The bidding for the fight got so expensive that Showtime couldn't afford it.

Which somehow indicates to you that nobody cares about Wilder?

Lol sure thing pal, let's wait for the numbers shall we?

Yes he would. The money was all guaranteed. Even guaranteed if Breazeale beat Wilder. You gave it your best shot tonight to defend your agenda tho. U get credit for that.
