Will you buy Wilder vs Breazelle for 74.99? How many PPVs does it sale?

    Unless Fury bursts into the press conference wearing a Batman suit I don't think it will do all that well..

    Will be a pretty good indicator as to where Wilder is in the PPV landscape given Fury did the leg work for the last one (outside Alabama)..

    Even if AJ - Miller was on at a reasonable time in the UK for 20 quid, there’s still zero chance I would be buying that fight. Wilder - Breazeale is just as bad, I don’t know how anyone could part with that much money for a poor fight.

    Saying that, it’ll still probably do better then people think. 100-150k buys.

    Fully agree and I'll be criticising him along with everyone else. Turning down 9 figures for a years work is pretty crazy. Especially as I believe he has far more chance of beating AJ than he does Fury.

    Breazeale won't get 25% of the PPV though. As Mando he's entitled to 25% of the winning purse bid, not 25% of the promotion. I'll be amazed if he gets anything more than a low 7 figure flat fee for this one.

    I'm assuming Wilder's people think in the long run he can make more than $100mn for this and two fights with AJ. I assume that after this fight, and after AJ and Fury have theirs, Wilder will hope to start a bidding war between ESPN and DAZN for his services. It could work, but if Fury and AJ fight he could be out in the cold for a couple of years waiting for the winner. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out.

    Well, Spence vs. Garcia seemed like a joke of a ppv at first. But, closer to the fight, more and more people became interested and planned to buy it. I think the numbers were quite good.
    At the same time, it was mostly for Mikey and his confidence. Spence was quite lethargic and bad at promoting.
    So, the question is who of the two (Wilder and Breazeale) would be really good at promoting their fight? Wilder? Um...

    F me, really?
    Breazeale is a big, lumbering log. Sh1t fight with Joshua's stale left-overs.
    Breazeale Vs Cornish would be a better fight than this!
    Just a precession for the WBC's prize pig.
    Paying actual money for this one event is basically tossing Wilder's salad.
    Sad to see so-called boxing enthusiasts bigging this sham up.

    The benefit of watching these fights in the UK is that a PPV is usually around £15, but sometimes we get lucky and they're shown free on standard channels (as was the case with Spence v Garcia)

    Can I just check - this the same Breazelle who was a human punchbag for Joshua a short while back?? Who couldn't land a single meaningful shot and was basically a low-level sparring partner?

    He's not got a brother or anything?

    Because I'm confused as to why anyone gives a sh!t about this no-contest exercise that's simply rinsing the boxing public

    Wilder thinks he alone was responsible for the (actually very average) 300k Wilder vs. Fury did. The truth is all the marketing was done by Fury and no one else.

    Vs. Brezeale we will see the marketing power (or the lack thereof) of Wilder alone. How many people will tune in to see *HIM* .. without a proper dance partner.

    No i wont be buying it. Im sure in the UK it will be on ITV Box office but at that time of night for me to stay up all night at my age and pay PPV money it needs to be a better fight than that. Im sure Breazeale can give him problems, who doesnt, but Breazeale is slow and i cant see Wilder finding it too hard to find the target. So i will just get up and come straight on here to find out what happened and read the RBR and then wait until a fight replay is shown when ever that may be.
