Rick Glaser: Wilder will never be PPV star

[rudy]

They've tried their best to make him one but people just aren't interested. His big fans like Larry and MCC are paupers that steal the neighbours internet to watch a fight so can't afford PPV.

Get on your knews and pray your boy runs around like a little batty boy for 36 minutes and you can say he is the next ALI.

Wilder just needs to knock out Fury even if he loses to Joshua, he would have made it all on his own.

Without having to stoop to working with Eddie Hearns, well done Al Haymon you are the best non promoter in boxing

Is that who's been stealing my fuccing internet then???

Wilder will end as a punching bag for Ajagba, Dubois and those guys.

Well fair play to Ness and Mike for really prodding and poking and looking for holes in Glaser's views and opinions and facts. This is a definite insider and his finger is on the pulse. Glaser's words are a legit opinion.

It's not that PPV is dead it's just that these promoters won't get off their lazy asses and promote the fights and their fighters properly.

Al Haymon can't do it because he is moonlighting as a career advisor when in actuality he is a promoter but he can't reveal that. Therefore, he has to keep a very low profile because he does not want to risk being in violation of the Muhammad Ali act.

Therefore, he sets up these dummy, uneducated and illiterate promotional outfits like Mayweather Promotions who don't have the slightest clue or idea in what the fuck they are doing. All the while pulling their strings in the process.

If Wilder had a real promoter like an Eddie Hearn or a Don King type in his prime, then he would be more of a popular crossover and box office success among casual fans than he is now.

Wilder can't do both; Promote himself and fight at the same time. He needs a real promoter who isn't afraid of showing his face in public like an Eddie Hearn type.

Wilder: Rick Glaser is old, miserable, and never won a fight a day in his life.

[BangEM]

It's either you have it or you don't.

The guy just doesn't have it.

He puts up an act and try to play the villain like Mayweather but people just don't care about the guy.

Promoters don't turn boxers into stars - half of the starpower comes from the level of opposition a boxer faces and how great the boxer is. And Wilder lacks both. You can't keep fighting bums on the same promotional company and expect people to buy into your brand. You have to crossover and fight boxers from everywhere.

People just don't care about Wilder. Another interesting observation is how American celebrities, including stars in other sports, don't care about Wilder. It's shocking since celebrities and superstars in other sports naturally embrace boxers. Wilder is the only outlier and that alone should tell you what you need to know. The guy just doesn't have it.

Very interesting interview by the legendary matchmaker and PPV analyst.

He also says PPV is dead and won't come back.

Start at 30mins.

That loudmouth punk killed the interview

Well its hard to be a PPV star when all his fights keep Bombsquading.

Nobody's rooting for failure.

Everybody is rooting for good, competitive fights. If you couple that with fighters that that the public can relate too then boxing will flourish whether that is PPV or a subscription service.

Nobody cares about Wilder because he's a fake gangsta who talks about killing people whilst knocking out old men and never has beens whilst ducking the best competition available. That's the truth of it.

Did you buy Wilder's last PPV on Fox against Ortiz?

Man that guy Nester can be a pain. He invites this guy in and shouts over him every time he's delivering some knowledge that may not agree with Nes's preconceived notion.

[LacedUp]

Rick Glaser, who is he, and who cares.

Deontay is ESPN's most famous boxer of 2019.

Net worth soon to climb into the 9-figure range in 2020.

Longest reigning currently active Heavyweight Champion of the World.

All of that and still can't crack 100k PPVs.

Yikes.
