    Wilder will continue to fight bums, he will never be a ppv star. You have to actually fight and beat real threats convincingly in order to build up a name that people will pay ppv dollars to watch. The guy is a joke, it's got to be some kind of record for a 40-0 American HW champion with almost a 100% KO record to be so unknown at this point of his career. The guy is in his mid 30's and just had his first somewhat test in his last fight, I find it hilarious that this guy has fans that are actually boxing fans, granted most are American but still Wilder has to be close to the biggest fraud to ever hold a portion of a world HW title.

    Yes Wilder/Breazeale should be PPV, in fact it will break PPV records in the US.

    Lowest ever numbers for a PPV event. Anyone think it does 50K?

    Oh and Breazeale happily accepts a flat fee for this fight, 250K cash in hand is better than 20% of nothing lol.

    Wilder has been champion for 3 years and hasn't tried to Unify yet. Despite being offered 10x his highest payday.

    What do you expect?

    Let's be real, if Wilder was British HW and working with Hearn, he'd be a PPV star.

    In US he won't sell his fight vs Breazeale or Miller or Whyte. PPV numbers in US against any of these opponents would be very low.

    Breazeale has been very vocal about the fight but Wilder has been crickets and tumbleweed. Clearly he don't fancy any of that quarterback smoke.

    It's a red hot match between a top ranked prospect with thunderous KO power and the greatest HW boxer in the world. Of course it'll be PPV. Both fighters are going to earn record paydays and attract mainstream support from all the major news sources as well. Think it, believe it, manifest it. Da Yulaverse delivers.

    Wilder has been marketed poorly to casual fans and die hard fans can see this flaws and weak resume. Haymon was handed a rare US heavyweight and tried to promote him in a college football town instead of showcasing him in NY and LA where he would have gotten 10 times the press coverage.

    There's no way this fight does any decent number on PPV.

    Wilder vs. AJ would, though, simply because American sports fans love the Big Event. If it is a big deal, we watch, especially if we think we can win, and the media here will feed the casuals on Wilder's chances (although die hards will bet against him).

    If they make it PPV they'll make Hughie v Parker on YouTube look like a roaring success.

    If Whyte beats Parker he has to be number one contender for a shot.

    2 WBC elimnations + Parker?

    The guy deserves a crack at a title.
