His physique may be ridiculous but I'll give the devil his due, he is - fawn legs notwithstanding - athletically blessed by any metric (speed, power, agility)
All the ducks in the chat, it tells you everything you need to know. And I'm sorry Espinoza...nobody is buying your excuse for not putting it on PPV. 'It was Deontay Wilder's choice'. NO, IT WASN'T. Be honest. You knew the numbers didn't add up for PPV. That is why you put it on normal Showtime. Because despite your claims that Deontay is a superstar, that isn't true. And now Espinoza is defending being independent from a channel! You just couldn't make this up! Surely he wants his man tied to Showtime. The guy is totally clueless.
So it's not even a PPV !! so turned down $100m from DAZN to be on a non PPV show !! priceless comedy gold right there , and confirmed duck right up there when Bowe ducked Lewis !!
PBC & Al Haymon are a cancer on boxing, Wilder is the most ill advised athlete in the world. Turning down $120m to fight on normal Showtime, insanity.
You have to question his mental ability at this point. Only reason for Wilder to still be led down this route is because he is mentally incapacitated. This is going to end as one of those stories in 10 years time Wilder will be taking Haymon and Finkel to court to get back the $100m they advised him to reject.
Or he's just plain thick as pigs sh *t ? I would love him to lose to Breazeale and lose all hope of the Joshua payday, but then again he basically doesn't want it anyway by the looks of it.
It is actually clever form Haymon and Wilder has fallen for it. Take it off PPV so no one can tell you cant carry your own PPV and sell shocking numbers and we will get you the AJ fight on showtime by telling everyone it does 2m PPV buys.... yeah OK then
If he did it on PPV and it tanked, he’d lose leverage for a Joshua fight. He has no multifight deal with anyone.
He just lost leverage in the AJ fight he turned down $100m and has now proven he cannot single handedly carry a PPV so brings F ALL to the table but the belt.
