Michael Benson on Twitter expressed that Deontay Wilder is frustrated with PBC and currently is looking for a new promoter to work with. He shared the news after ESPN’s Mike Coppinger, shared the devastating news on Twitter that Wilder is getting offers from another promoter as the money involved in the Wilder vs Ruiz fight is not good as of now. As per reports, Wilder is unhappy with the money deal for the upcoming Andy Ruiz fight and might split with PBC soon.

Deontay Wilder’s ‘frustration’ with PBC

As per previous fights, PBC is responsible for promoting his fights. Now it is understandable from his statement that, it is going to hugely impact both Wilder and Ruiz. Multiple fights get halted due to disputes over the promotions, and Wilder vs Ruiz is the next may be. However, the news has created havoc among the fans, and they are anxious about the post.
Fans pour in mixed reactions
After the news touched millions of fans of both Wilder, and Ruiz, went into the dark. They slammed the boxers and PBC with some mixed reactions.
He's the biggest earner on the PBC roster so this spells trouble if he's unhappy. Spence can't get a date either. Tank and Garcia still not over the line..
Proof that Wilder got carried by Fury and now can’t make the same amount of money on his own 🤣

If wilder fights ngannou that’ll tarnish his career. I say current boxers today should just retire. They’re not gonna give us the fights we wanna see anyway so why even waste the time entertaining the idea of it. The ladies are more competitive IMO!
Hrgovic Vs Ruiz it is then
Let's see how the clowns figure out a way to blame Oscar or Bob for this. 🤣🤣🤣
The funny thing about this post...people in the comments swear they know so much about PBC business from what you see on social media (now you all wants to be an accounting, mangers, promoter, etc).
Notably, on October 22, Wilder came off as a champion, defeating Robert Helenius via knockout. However, there is still something in the bucket that might take the fans from being disappointed, as Wilder and Francis Ngannou might see a face-off in the upcoming days.
Until then, fans have to wait and watch. What is your take on this? Let us know in the comments.
