Cue the Hearn bots in 3...2....1...

The same Wilder who said that he is loyal to Showtime and thats why declined a $100 Mio offer from DAZN. Then why Wilder doesn't fight on Showtime anymore if he is so loyal to them ?

He still loves Showtime. He just doesn't like their announcing team of Paulie Malignaggi and Steve Farhood. He believes they are biased against him.

And like clockwork the English Defence League, Britain First, Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage Brexiters who want to export British control to the USA have shown up....I’m so glad I settled in the USA, the british jingoistic “empire” mentality is about the most barbaric and backward mindset on earth

Uh-oh those **** eating anti-Wilder weirdos won't like this one. The fans are finally getting the rematch to settle the controversy once and for all. And Instead of being happy they'll keep talking about old dumb s--t that's irrelevant like AJ, fake or real proposed deals from the past and network loyalty

So he wants a biased announcing team in favour of him.LOL the unofficial judge on FOX had it 4-2 for Wilder after 6 rounds against Ortiz. It cant get more biased than this. Everyone saw that Ortiz won at least 5 rounds out of 6. Even the official judges had Ortiz winning the fight clearly.

They act like Wilder has never fought on FOX or NBC with PBC before. I was at the fight in Birmingham against El Gallo Negro and that fight was on FOX. Wilder has gotten too big for Showtime. It’s clear he was their biggest numbers fighter but their ability to promote and reach a broader audience is limited. FOX reaches far more and its promotion of boxing is simply unrivalled. That network has put the full weight of its resources into promoting PBC. These British ultra nationalists are just mad because wilder chose not to give control over his career to Eddie Hearn and dazn. That infuriated every council estate in Great Britain

Highly doubt he goes back to Showtime for burning them on a PPV , Espinoza would look foolish if he says he was wrong about Wilder ,I think they will just cut their losses ,I highly doubt this one does better then the first just seems like incompetence whenever Wilder is involved,maybe it’s contagious ?

The rematch will do much better than the first fight. Look today Fury and Wilder will promote the fight on ESPN infront of tens of Millions viewers. Plus its a joint ESPN/FOX PPV.
