So what's the catch to overpaying Wilder?

[ShaneMosleySr]

In America, no way doe.
You yourself don't even buy PPVs.

Kills me.

I didn’t even mention PPV but w/e.

[Jsmooth9876]

If he becomes undisputed, every fight after that becomes a huge money maker.

Everyone tunes in to watch the one recognized heavyweight champion, even if the opponent isn’t that big.

Not for $75 they don't

It doesn't pay off...over paying skilled HBO, has all but killed SHO boxing and will kill pbc.

[man down]

i wanna pay a guy 20+ to run around in circles and jab! all hail king runny mcjabnclinch!

Stop acting like thats his style. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Ruiz had never been on the floor against anyone before AJ.

...so either way Fury/Wilder winner would have to go DAZN anyways.

Good job on passing up $100 million at age 34. Great business decision

And you expect investors to shell out millions of dollars just
to pay for one fighter's purse and here you are don't even buy PPVs.
How are they going to get their money back?
How old are you, ten?

[rickJen]

He wants the Fury rematch doe.
Who else would he fight that would not embarrass him in the box office?
Espinoza got tired of overspending in his fights.

[rickJen]

Don't know.

Showtime decided to stop the bleeding so they can focus on other fights. Maybe Fox will come to their senses eventually and decide to do the same.

Team Wilder have choices to make if they decide to go back to Showtime.
Accept Showtime's offer whatever they can afford.
Same thing with Fox.

Bottom line is accept reality that he's no Mike Tyson.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Once Deontay Wilder beats Tyson Fury, he can take the Lion share of every deal.

I believe he will face Tyson Fury then Andy Ruiz Junior 'Then eventually Anthony Joshua'.

But Ruiz Junior is still a massive factor in, whether the Joshua vs Wilder fight ever happens.

How are they overpaying him? They would only be overpaying him if you believe the fake numbers in the press. Wilder is yet to make more that $7milliom in a fight in his career. And he didn’t even make $5million in his last fight against Ortiz.
