Deontay Wilder censoring the press - demands interviews be removed. Most mentally weak fighter ever?

PBC links

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see an Oliver McCall breakdown situation occurring here, either before the fight in the dressing room, or during the fight itself. As the pressure mounts and the date approaches more and more cracks are going to show and I don't know if even Wilder would be able to maintain his delusion under those sorts of conditions.

If he manages to hold it together and still lose the fight then I think he'll just disappear again, then we'll start to hear even weirder and more erratic stories about him and Jermain Taylor-like paranoid rants surfacing now and again.

 

I hope so. Not nice to see anyone go off the rails.

 

This.

I think he's about as close to a fraud as it's possible to get whilst having held a world title... His resume is pathetic and his view of himself as a serious fighter with any kind of legacy at all is as hilarious as his desire to kill a man in the ring is disgusting.

But despite all that, I don't want to see him ruined any more than he clearly already is.

 

Trouble is, he can try and hide from reality right up until the first bell rings - then he's gonna get a big dose of reality dealt out to him and it's gonna hit hard. And denial is no preparation at all for what he's going to have to face in three weeks or so. Everything about what's happening at the moment carries a big whiff of the 'cash out' about it...

 

The way Wilder is mentally unravelling Fury might actually stop him in round 1 this time.

 

Oh boy. Lots of newbs here, apparently. Okay. Here is a lesson for you all.

First of all, as much as you desperately want to believe this has everything to do with Wilder's 'fragile' state ... it's only about money ... all the way around.

This is a situation where people who grab a camera and start website ... and young boxers ... (and fans, too) learn about corporate business practices.

You have PBC, which has a card this weekend featuring this ‘interim’ super featherweight beltholder that will also basically be a commercial for the Fury-Wilder PPV … which will be one of the major cash cows for the organization this year along with Spence-Pac.

And you have these websites where they get free ringside press row passes to fights, and they get access to gyms and to fighters to conduct their interviews so they get clicks to their sites.

BUT these amateur "journalists" are only given these free passes and access to the boxers because the corporations putting on these events want added publicity and coverage that they don’t have to directly purchase themselves.

And then these amateur web guys get in a room with boxers who also aren’t exactly “corporate” and they start **** talking amongst themselves about people in the big event that is coming up, and these "shooting the ****" sessions get posted online.

Then guys working at this corporation which have invested millions into the PPV along with giving an opportunity to this little “interim” newcomer ... SEE these video clips and they get blindsided.

They have and are investing millions in the PPV events and they are investing in this new scrub with an "interim" belt and giving him a main event showcase ... and the new kid (and the web dude they give passes to) start trashing the guy in their big PPV they are trying to sell.

And then they all get a quick lesson in how big corporations work.

The website owner gets a call saying ‘Hey, dumbass, we can’t have the nitwit we are showcasing this weekend bash the nitwit we are showcasing in an $80 PPV a week or so later. Don't you know it’s difficult enough trying to keep these idiots in line and we have to deal with you posting all their nonsense online? Don’t you realize what YOUR purpose is? Do you want to start buying your own $1,000 ticket for ringside? Do you want to still be able to interview fighters from the PBC on your site, or do you want to be stuck outside with no footage? Do you? Then get with the program.”

There is no FREEDOM of the press in sports when the guys covering the events are being handed thousands of dollars worth of ringside passes and unlimited access to interview the fighters so they can post that footage on their own pages. They aren't even "press." Most of them can't write a complete sentence, which is why they just point a camera and start rambling.

If those guys running the websites DIDN’T know what their roles are, they soon discover it when they get that call.

That’s why Oscar de la Hoya - who has a deal with DAZN - can get wasted, beat up a woman and jam his fist up inside her, and she has to go have surgery to repair her internal organs ... and it gets covered briefly by mainstream news outlets but NOBODY getting a free pass to a Golden Boy card brings it up, and DAZN boxing announcers don't bring it up and the hosts of the DAZN sports shows never utter a word about it.

Because they aren't "the free press." They are part of the advertising for a sports event. And crapping all over the people involving in the big event won't be tolerated.

That’s why, after Mike Tyson lost to Buster Douglas in 1990, and Larry Merchant went on countless talk shows bashing Tyson and bashing Don King, and Tyson showed up on HBO for the Alex Stewart fight and said he didn’t want Larry Merchant calling his fights anymore on HBO or he’d leave the network … and HBO refused his request … Tyson left … and HBO was like “what happened?”

You have to know your role. Do you want to show Mike Tyson fights and give Larry Merchant a couple nights off a year when Tyson fights? Or do you want to lose Mike Tyson?

Same with Colbert. That’s why he’s sitting there saying “am I right?” to Danny Garcia, and Garcia kind of walks away. Garcia knows. Garcia and Gary Russell and some of these guys aren’t being paid $1 million or more a fight against nobodies because they ALL generate that much income. Garcia knows how much he’d make on the open market if he had to shop his skills around, and it isn't as much as he has been making. People have been saying those PBC fighters have been overpaid for years.

They all have a sweet deal. And part of the deal is not to **** WHERE YOU EAT, as the old saying goes.

If the corporation intends to generate many millions off that Fury-Wilder PPV and the Spence-Pac PPV, you don’t **** on the PBC participant in those events, because the guys paying you your money are getting their money from the PPV. And they don’t like it.

Which is why the website took down the video ... because he doesn't want to actually pay for his own tickets and he wants to be able to keep interviewing PBC fighters ... or nobody will watch his videos.

Which is also why Colbert better learn quick and keep winning. Because he'll find out how much he's worth if he has to start shopping his services around, too.

Boxing is a business. And when the guys who control the money get pissed, all the dinky website owners who think they are bigshots find out who the bigshots are.

That's the lesson for today. Class dismissed. (LOL)

 

(LOL) Dubblechin back at it again

 

Id skip your class in future after reading that

Wilder is just mental

Can't you accept it? Lol

 

Absolutely destroyed... You can see it in the eyes, there's simply no fire there, he's feeling like he has to fight but he doesn't have it in him.

 

Wilder should have taken his loss like a man. I have zero respect for boxers who use excuses after a loss. The only acceptable excuse is if you lost a loved one on the day of the fight, then you have an excuse to be mentally checked out of the fight.

 

'Class' has another meaning too and was also dismissed by Wilder when he lost...

 

Touche!

 

He possibly does have issues with a depressive illness. I'm no fan of Wilder at all regarding boxing, he may be a very fragile person & mental illness is a horrible disease.
I think some should hold back in their constant criticism of his 'antics'.
Saying that, he should seek help; but as he is a cash cow, is he being held back ?
