Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Wilder Tried To Get Me Fired From Showtime Job!

[HaymonsWorld]

showtime obviously didn't need wilder when they passed on wilder/ortiz in what turned out to be a financial crater, a disaster.

But i get it, you must be part of the world is flat cult.

a financial disaster would be espn paying fury 12 million for walling and selling only 2 k tickets and doing a 900k gate at mgm lmfao!
Wilder vs ortiz sold 300k ppv and did a 4 million gate at mgm.... Try again sweety

Wilder is such a cry baby ego maniac. Firee him!!! He didnt score the fight for me!!! WAHHHH WAHHHHH. LMFAO. Shut the ***** up.

Either action is weak and petty AF! I think Wilder's statements regarding Floyd and Tyson were petty, and were a reaction to them scoring the first fight in Fury's favor! DISRESPECTFUL!

Nah..he has always been chippy towards those two. Even before the first Fury fight. You call it weak..I call it good business.

This is a major reach. I’ve seen the comments. The result of the first fight was being analysed and Paulie gave his opinion which more folk often than not have agreed with it. You reaching and making it way more than it needs to be. The criticism was constructive and Wilder, his team and a lot of fans seemingly including you need to learn to take constructive criticism better.

Lol...some of you posters get in your feelings so easily you presume that others do to. It is quite possible that the reach was Paulie saying that Wilder tried to get him fired. But hey let's run with that unverified statement because if someone said it it must be true...especially if its something that feeds an existing opinion.

When you take your emotion out of it, you'll see I never said there was anything wrong or offensive about Paulie's analysis or how he called the fight. What I said was that it wasn't good for promoting Wilder to casuals and uninformed fans.

Paulie told the truth..full stop. Wilder has a team of yes men blowing smoke up his ass...that's just a fact. The only question here is whether or not they get Wilder killed...the possibility is my opinion. As for the rest of your comment, you may have the wrong guy because I have no idea what you are talking about.

Paulie gave his opinion...full stop. It's not a fact just because it aligns with your opinion or you want it to be true. Only Wilder's team can make such a statement of fact. Anyone else...opinion....full stop.

He's not a cheerleader, his job is to tell people what he sees with eyes more experienced than most. If something he says sounds like he's saying "this guy's not very good", well in Wilder's case, he's spot on, Wilder is just simply not very good at that level.

Sometimes things go over people's heads. I never said what I believe Paulie should be doing. I just offered my opinion on how Wilder may view Paulie's commentary.

I don't believe a word from Paulie who has been caught lying too many times to count. Wilder doesn't even have the power or position to get him fired from showtime. Clearly Wilder was upset with guys like Paulie saying he lost but I think he is exaggerating or flat lying saying he tried to get me fired.

But it's hypocritical and the last one to say stop making excuses for your loss and bad performances is Paulie he's made a fool out himself with excuses and crying that is legendary after losses. You must not take your own word and don't surround yourself with people to tell you the truth because look how you behaved after McGregor dropped you, after broner beat you, after a bum MMA fighter broke your face and beat you, I can keep going on nobody refused to look in the mirror and accept the truth after losses then this loud mouth bytch. Wilder sounding dumb with excuses but nothing like you sounded so STFU

I don’t care about Paulie or Wilder at all to get in my “feelings”. Paulie is paid to call it as he sees it, you upset that he’s saying this about Wilder looks far more emotional than anything I’ve typed.

Imagine if AJ or someone that ‘y’all’ talk nonsense about behaved this way after a defeat. We wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Wilder and his grown men sycophants can’t handle anything less than stellar being said about their “King”. You keep up the fight though.

Nah B! He's 6'7" and yet, still a "small man!" Time to MAN UP!

So basically what you're saying is that pundits HAVE TO AGREE with what the judges say lol?

You're messed up in the head - look at what you wrote.
Paulie and Teddy Atlas can't be bought, unlike Lennox and Ward etc.

If you want fairy tales stick to Disney, this is boxing and I want my opinions real and impartial. Do you understand those words?

Teddy is usually bought and paid for. Paulie views on the world and boxing changed tremendously when he added sky sports gig.
Teddy and Paulie both are smart enough to break ranks with their employers every once in a while to do just enough to make it look credible. Ward is learning how to do that as well.
Lennox is a very low key figure at most times. He rarely goes very far toward anything or anyone. He is set up to be the neutral milk toast guy
