Wilder announcement tomorrow: 3 fight Showtime deal?

[sicko]

Probably something to do with acting, been a lot of talks about him possibly being apart of Creed 3 as of late

Realistically I'm thinking maybe an official exclusive contract with Showtime but they won't release for how much exactly will just say "SUBSTANTIAL" or something like that which will piss people who hate him off even more

More than he was earning as a WBC world heavyweight champion with over nine title defenses.

Defences against who though? I can't see the argument for massive paydays for the likes of Duhaupas and Washington.

Well name me who the fuck he should have fought in his era then? Who were some of the big name contenders that he has avoided and should have fought but didn't; Damn?

Please give me some names. You can't. The very same thing could be said about the Klitschko boys. They fought in the weakest Heavyweight era ever in Goddamned history and where are their detractors? shit!

Moreover, how many HOF'ers and All-time greats are on their fucking resumes; None?

And before dude says Klitchko, remember that Wlad never gave a single voluntary defense for his entire career, and never had any interest in the green belt for his entire career prior to Wilder having it.

Only reason Wlad fought AJ was becaue he was beltless. If Wlad beat Fury he would have been holding those belts hostage for another. Oh ole years fighting garbage mandatories. He already had Glazkov lined up for his next defence in another garbage Klit fight nobody wanted to see.

You are absolutely right! That was Wlad's MO. He never challenged any live dogs or voluntary defenses outside of David Haye.

He held the belts hostage for more than a decade by mostly fighting over matched and limited mandatory challengers throughout his career in Germany and yet these same Goddamned hypocrite bastards have the nerve to want shit on Deontay Wilder's resume.

Even though their heroes haven't done jack shit throughout their non-distinguishable careers of boxing either. Wilder even made a personal plea to Wladimir Klitschko to let's make an undisputed bout and yet Dr. Steel Hammer declined by turning him down.

Some reputable names Wilder could have fought, excluding the Klitschko's;

Ruslan Chagaev (former WBA champ)
David Haye (former WBA champ)
Tony Thompson
Bryant Jennings
Shannon Briggs
David Price (fellow prospect at the time and Olympic alumni)
Dereck Chisora (coming off a creditable showing vs Vitali Klitschko)

I'm not exactly clear on the Povetkin fight given the legal case surrounding it, but I won't hold that against him.

Later on, I firmly believe that knocking out Dillian Whyte in London (for career high money) and calling Joshua out would have led to a unification match; the demand would have gone through the roof.

There was also an in house unification fight with Martin to be made which would have increased his bargaining power with Joshua.

The Klitschko's, like Tyson and Lennox, fought the guys who there. Ther fact that those guys weren't particularly great isn't really their fault is it?
You can hardly claim the Klitschko's got preferential treatment when they got kicked off US TV.

I must have missed this. Frankly I lost interest in Wilder when his manager came out with the whole "baby" speech. Was this around the time of the Fury fight?

[KP1]

If it’s a multi fight deal he’s a ****ing hypocrite.

No, it was right before the Bryant Jennings fight in April 2015; About four months prior to Wilder winning his WBC world Heavyweight title.

Those are the names that you claim to be all-time greats? Mercy! Look at here; Deontay Wilder wasn't on anyone's radar until he became the WBC world Heavyweight champion.

Wilder was just a local country boy from a small time in Alabama with no major network backing, promotional push or sponsorships. Therefore, he was an unknown commodity who fought most of his early career before 500 seat High school gymnasiums.

Moreover, it would of cost his local promoter a lot of money to get those fighters; Especially the European ones to fly to America to fight him, while paying for their hotel accommodations and expenses as well as their purses too. Unless they were willing fight him for $50 then I don't see how those match ups were even possible.

I'm pretty sure that whoever was his local promoter at the time didn't have the deep pockets of Matchroom Sport, Top Rank, Don King Promotions, Golden Boy promotions or MTK global to offer those fighters substantial monetary deals to fight Deontay Wilder.

Therefore, he was left to fight only the fighters that were available to him at the time in his region. Had he won the Gold medal back in 2008 like Joshua did in 2012 then his life would have changed for the better.

He would have had long lines of sponsorships, promoters and network backers just waiting in line to do business with him. So just give the man his credit and due.

He has come a long way since his early days of fighting in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
