The bottom line is Showtime doesn't have the same amount of dedication and commitment to the sport as Fox does who are new to the fight game and are very eager to feature Deontay Wilder on their network.
Moreover, Showtime lacks the proper amount of resources as well. They have a much smaller budget than the entire Fox network.
In addition, they overpaid for the Wilder/Breazeale fight which probably left them in the red to bid for this bout.

The problem with Stephen Espinoza is that he overspent on Wilder's mandatory defense with Dominic Breazeale. It probably took nearly two thirds of Showtime's entire yearly budget to make that fight happen. In other words, Showtime has run out of money.

Fight is not ppv worthy....Older slower Ortiz will b easy work for Wilder. Showtime obviously knows they would lose $ on this one. Wilder cant carry a ppv on his own.....he need Fury, AJ, or Mexican Ruiz in the other corner!
