First off Wilder and Helenius as yet another PPV is ridiculous. Years ago an easy main event on Showtime or HBO and while the cable networks are now written off like dinosaurs, a 'big fight event' is what they afforded absent of constant PPV anchors tied to them. Now basically if you want a semi to mega fight on a weekend we're on the path to constant money grabs or longtime fans with simply look for a stream or look elsewhere in sports for their fix. DAZN is just as guilty if not worse as they came in mocking 'old world' platforms and pledging to be the end of PPV. Now they have raised the annual subscription 35 percent AND give longtime subs a measly $20-25 "break" on massive ppv tags. Rambling on...but to OP topic, at least when the HBO and Showtime did this Showtime would do same night replays and HBO usually re air Sunday mornings. HBO also re aired there PPV main events the following or two Saturdays usually.
As Master says they have gotten better at basically timing each other out for the main events. Not always but usually if possible. But what that does is also give us these loooong winded cards stacked with filler airing the same pre fight stuff 101 times. It's obvious they're watching the other unfold. And the elephant in the room..they do the same with major UFC cards on Saturday night. One of the most ridiculous things I'll never forget if watching Canelo and Kovalev literally sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for the Masvidal vs. Diaz main to wrap up
