Per ESPN
DAZN offered Wilder two versions of a deal from which he could pick, two sources with knowledge of the offers told ESPN.
One deal, the sources said, was for three fights worth $100 million. The first fight would have been a $20 million payday to fight Breazeale this spring. The second fight would have been for $40 million to fight Joshua in the fall for the undisputed title with the third fight being an immediate rematch with Joshua for another $40 million -- even if Wilder, in the worst-case scenario, had gotten knocked out, even in the first round, of the first fight by Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs), 29, of England.
The second version of the offer, one of the sources said, would have paid Wilder $20 million to fight Breazeale, $40 million for the Joshua fight, a $20 million fight against another opponent to be determined followed by another $40 million for a rematch with Joshua in the fourth fight.
In addition, one of the sources said the first fight with Joshua was guaranteed to be in the United States with DAZN willing to have the second fight in Joshua's native United Kingdom, even though the time zone would put a live stream of the fight on in the late afternoon instead of closer to the preferred time of 11:30 p.m. ET, which is when most major fights go off for U.S. broadcasts.
After Fury signed a co-promotional deal with Top Rank last month to bring his fights to ESPN platforms, the much-anticipated rematch with Wilder, which was close to being finalized, fell apart because Wilder also rejected an offer from Top Rank for $12.5 million for a summer fight against an opponent to be determined followed by $20 million to fight Fury again on ESPN PPV in the fall.
I don't know whether they want to fight him or not.
But it's easy to dispute.
Hearn says he'll only allow the fight to happen if Wilder signs with DAZN, even though Joshua isn't signed to DAZN. Meanwhile, Showtime is willing to pay more for the fight than DAZN is willing to pay.
So why should the fight be on DAZN when Showtime is willing to pay more? Because Hearn refuses to allow it? Okay, but how is that Wilder's fault?
This guy has serious problems.
wilder is just a fighter bro. he's not your dad,.
And in other interviews says the fight can only be on DAZN. When will you realize Hearn is constantly lying and contradicts himself daily?
Showtime has made bigger offers than DAZN has and Hearn has turned those offers down. Actions speak louder than words.
Let me know when Hearn offers a two fight deal with one fight PBC and one fight DAZN. If Wilder turns that down, I'll agree he's ducking. As things stand now, Hearn has still refused to do a fair deal. I personally thought Wilder would accept the 100 million, fair or not, but it seems Haymon has dipped into the war chest to match.
thats whats stated if you cant read thats your problem.
and that problem is all of you constantly jumping the gun all the time :dunce:
No you was saying Hearn would only allow the fight of Wilder signed to DAZN with that Mirrorr universe guy. You can't work out of this dummy, plus in that clip Hearn said Wilder just fighting AJ was on the table as well didn't even have to take the Breazeale part.

If I'm Wilder I would've taken this deal unless Haymon/Finkel showed me some honest projections that the AJ/Wilder fight makes more on PPV.
I get you may not want to risk fighting on DAZN with the odds stacked against you but that is a ton of money to turn away from. I don't see how he makes similar money on SHO/Fox.

What’s your take on this?
Fraud, fake, foney, BS whatever you want to call yourself trying to cut articles to say something else and you couldn't even do it right.
What else would you expect him to say when talking directly about the offer from DAZN? Do you want a disclosure from Hearn in every interview "other broadcasters are available at with the right price"
LMAO your argument is Hearn said it can't go on other networks not that he wouldn't prefer it on his own, you numpty.
https://youtu.be/C9JniUT8hFA
9:30 onwards if you need to witness it yourself.
thats whats stated if you cant read thats your problem.
and that problem is all of you constantly jumping the gun all the time :dunce:
a fraud? :rofl: look at this dork..... you must not have a full grasp of the english language. Clearly says there 'Do the Joshua fight on Dazn' :dunce:

You're a fraud, coward with no balls clipping quotes in an attempt to give them another meaning just so you don't have to admit you was wrong. You didn't even do a good job of it.
"It could be anything,” Hearn explained. “It could be Breazeale on DAZN, Joshua on DAZN. It could be Breazeale on Showtime, Joshua on DAZN. So, what I’m saying is, that first fight, until they sit down and hash everything out, I don’t know whether this is gonna be, ‘Come straight on DAZN. Do the Joshua fight on DAZN.’ There’s the loads of things that they might wanna do, etcetera.”
- Relating directly to the offer they sent, lol even mentions Wilder Breazeale could be on showtime. Nothing to do with the fight not being on another network if they bidded higher.
This just confirms DAZN is his favoured way still doesn't mention it as the only way.
At the end of the day you got nothing becuase Hearn has always maintained this fight goes to the highest bidder, try harder next time:dunno:

again like I said clear as day

‘Come straight on DAZN. Do the Joshua fight on DAZN.’

When asked if he expected to be in this position of potentially adding Wilder to DAZN’s growing roster, Hearn replied, “No, but I knew this was the way to do it.
This just confirms DAZN is his favoured way still doesn't mention it as the only way.
At the end of the day you got nothing becuase Hearn has always maintained this fight goes to the highest bidder, try harder next time:dunno:
Where does Hearn say the fight has to be on DAZN and not on other networks in it then?
‘Come straight on DAZN. Do the Joshua fight on DAZN.’
When asked if he expected to be in this position of potentially adding Wilder to DAZN’s growing roster, Hearn replied, “No, but I knew this was the way to do it.
again like I said clear as day
hahahahaha
this guy keeps punching himself in the face.
Read stuff before you post it.
thank you
And Wilder himself said he's a FREE AGENT. Do you know what that means? It means he can fight WHEREEVER HE WANTS.
So what the hell are you complaining about? He's a free agent and someone is offering him 100million, and you're still making excuses.
All you Wilder fanboys is showing yourselves to be pathetic children who make a point out of supporting Wilder even when it's blatantly obvious he doesn't want the fight.
Once again, 100million. 3 fights.
He has made 12 million in his last 3 fights.
Shocking.
if he doesnt want to sign to an exclusive contract for fights he doesnt have to. You asked for the link I showed it to you :dunce:
And yes I did read it. Clear as day. Why can't they just have the AJ/Wilder fight a one off contract? Why does Wilder have to be tied down to extra fights exclusively just for the AJ fight?
:thinking:
Did you bother to read the article because the title isn't a quote and actually refers to Wilder having speak to "DAZN"/John Skipper instead of Hearn himself to negotiate the DAZN offer. Misleading I know.
yes I read it :dunno: clear as day what it says
He said DAZN are the only ones that can put up the required money, but he has continuously said that AJ could fight on Showtime or ESPN for Wilder or Fury if they can put up more money.
You are the one claiming he's said the fight can only happen on DAZN, YOU put up a link you damn fanboy :lol1: I'm not lifting a damn finger to prove you and your fanboy friends wrong when we all know you're wrong and we all know Wilder is a fraud.
Hearn: Wilder To DAZN Is the Only Way Joshua Fight Gets Done
https://www.boxingscene.com/hearn-wilder-dazn-only-way-joshua-fight-gets-done--137031
Can someone smart in negotiations explain something to me?
How can Dazn gurantee Breazeale and AJ who are not signed Dazn fighters in a deal like this?
Like how does that work if they aren't signed to Dazn? Mandatory splits? AJ also agreed?
hahahahaha

Calm down he turned down 20M to fight Breazeale on DAZN
With the money Wilder-Joshua will produce, that's a lowball contract
Wilder should just force the 50/50 split on them in time, whenever Joshua and Fury find the guts to put it all on the line
Wilder vs Fury just paid each guy measly dollars, about 8-10 Million per fighter but you think that AJ is such a huge megastar that he brings in 10 times that money for both fighters? Damn you must be a huge AJ fan since Wilder himself cant draw flies to ****.

he asked you a legti question and this is your answer?

did hearn say that yes or no?
if yes or no please provide link thank you

Hearn repeatedly said recently that the fight can only happen if Wilder signs with DAZN. Now you're claiming Hearn also said the fight can happen on Showtime.
Yes because that's what he said.
He continuously said AJ has a fight by fight contract with DAZN and DAZN have first and last option on his fight.
You are simply not telling the truth.
