    Wilders costumes cost up to $60,000

    Wtf? They look cool and all but what a huge waste of money.

    When Deontay Wilder enters the ring Saturday for his rematch with Tyson Fury, he will be wearing a costume and mask that cost more than $60,000.


    For Saturday, Lombino and Crowley are evoking the terror of the 1968 horror movie “The Devil Rides Out,” adding sculptural angles of the fashion house Alexander McQueen. The black leather bodysuit will also have elements from the movie “Tron.” The price tag for the regalia is more than $60,000.

    So? That's nothing new lol. At least it's a business expense/tax write off.

    Ric Flair bankrupted himself paying ****loads for his robes back in like the 70's and he had a new robe every night lol

      First you say “so”, like it’s no big deal. Then mentioned how someone went bankrupt because of lavish robes. Must not be a great write off.

          Those write offs are good at tax time; doesn’t do a damn thing during your fiscal year though

            the "So" was pertaining to doing it twice a year as a business expense.

            Flair did it 60 times a year, for decades; and threw the robes out after one wear. That was a ****** business decision.

                That's what I'm saying!

                Mind you, sports memorabilia back in the 70's isn;t the market it is now, but ****.
