if they did this on Fox PPV, this is a pretty good sign for a potential Wilder/Joshua fight with the right promo.

Wilder is trying to make close to nine figures with just one Joshua fight while not committing to any network for a period of time. I understand it.

Absolutely. As a fan I don’t give a shyt what they’re making,I just want to see the fight. But I understand it from Wilders point of view. It’s still the biggest fight in boxing and we know how heavyweights who knock people out draw...This kills Spence/Garcia in PPV numbers if this has FOX sports promotion behind it. 1 million+ sales easily.

If those are the numbers that were offered to him, then there's probably more money stood to be made. I can't fault him because I don't know what Showtime is offering him. I understand it's frustrating as a fan but I don't think even Wilder's team is turning down guaranteed money like that unless they see a substantial amount coming elsewhere.

Boxing done turned into hip hop where were pocket watching more than wanting good fights. shyt is disgusting, as long as fighters are paid their fair wages.....I wanna see them fight the good fights more than anything. The difference between Wilder/Fury/Joshua getting 10m and 30m a fight is 0 to me.

Bruh been getting DANGEROUSLY close recently to losing that 0 and with if Virgil Hunter can shore up some loose ends with Breazeale....watch out :gladbron:. I'm still picking Wilder to KO Breazeale, but Willder playing a dangerous game

Only cats I can think of are Lacy when he was with Everlast and Broner was rocking the fashionnova men ad for the Pac fight.

I just don't think nikkas really care like that. They getting over paid to fight in some instances. shyt why bother with anything else.

It’s in their best interest to make the most money as possible during their prime earning years.

I would definitely try to make money off the following that I built up.

Anthony Joshua gets it though. The guy has numerous sponsorships. His own YouTube page to promote and put himself out there.

Only the top tier guys really get endorsements in boxing. Wilder has been talking about wanting generational wealth, which is why I suggested his team should pursue them.

Boxing has always been that way though. It's PRIZE fighting. It's about purses. It's about negotiations. It's a business first, sport second. These guys maneuver in a way to make the most money.

If you're a hardcore boxing fan, the business aspect of boxing is a huge part of discussions. What else are you gonna talk about? These nyggas fight once a year.:mjlol:

Now when it comes to music, I don't understand it.

Boxing? Everything is about money. It's part of the game.
