Keep overlooking Ruiz my bite you

The highlight reel knockout of Breazeale raised Wilder’s profile with the casual US sports fan. He needs another vs Ortiz.

I hope he recoups that 120 million

Yeah great decision, that loyalty payday from showtime sure helped him for the Ortiz fight (Oh wait).

how would signing have helped

That's BS. You'd have to be a fool to believe that. The only way we truly know if it was the smartest move or not is just how much of the 120m was guaranteed.

Wilder isn't doing big PPV numbers. So it is very unlikely he'll see anywhere near that type of money in the future. Now If Wilder was 24 it might make sense but at 34, he's already in the twilight of his boxing career.

I sum it up as Wilder just being a loyal dude.

Wilder's got 1 year of his prime left.

he made a huge mistake.

"I'm the promoter you're signed with and staying with me was a great decision." Reallllllllllly?

I don't care who he's with, but his gamble of not taking AJ fight has backfired spectacularly. It will take AJ years to get back his reputation, and that's assuming he'll win all his fights for next 3 years. Wilder-AJ is not going to be worth that $100M for years.

Ellerbe talks as if KNOWS Wilder will never lose. Under Haymon control and fixing he won't lose.

And Ellerbe knows Wilder would have lost to Joshua and it would be game over.

At what point do you idiots wake up and realize Wilder is a total complete protected counterfeit fraud hoax pretender? AT WHAT POINT???!!!
