    Showtime aired the first Wilder-Stiverne fight but was not interested in putting on the rematch of such a one-sided fight for which there is no public demand. However, given the circumstances, Showtime announced Thursday that it will televise the bout as part of a tripleheader beginning at 9 p.m. ET.

    Lol...

    They should advertise it as a one of the crappiest fights ever televised.

    Can you provide the source which states that Showtime doesn't want to air this fight? I believe you (who would want to broadcast this 5h!t) but I want to read it for myself.

    I could see Stiverne going in and making a good fight of it. The first fight between the two was a good one.

    They should advertise it: as the fight nobody wanted: the fight they pretended you wouldn't get: but deep down you knew that you would!!! Wilder vs Stiverne 2 this time, nobody's watching.

    SHO isnt going to drop Wilder any time soon. Not with Joshua on their network.
    They want to bank that PPV money bro

    No, it isn’t. The $4M offer came with the British promoter getting options on future Wilder fights.

    He was willing to overpay for a Whyte fight so that if Whyte won, he’d own both halves of a unification rematch with AJ; and if Wilder won, he’s got options on Wilder to make the unification with a lowball offer and not having to deal with Haymon.

    Plus, we’d be in the same boat. No way Whyte passes strict VADA testing when he’s already sat out a 2 year suspension for PEDs. He’d get caught again and people would blame Wilder again.
