In an interview Breazeale was asked his opinion on Wilder rejecting 20mil to fight him which guaranteed him a shot at AJ even if Breazeale won and total package was 120mil and about the 6mil he was offered. Breazeale replied he had no idea he was offered 6mil and it was never brought to his attention. He said if the offer was real then he isn’t best pleased as that is a lot of money but when on to state that Wilder should have accepted the 120mil as Wilder will never get and offer like that again and he hopes after he beats Wilder he gets the same offer to fight AJ himself in a big rematch.
Judging from reports Breazeale is expected to be making around 3 mil total for this fight so that’s 50% of what DAZN offered and would indicate Wilder is making around 10mil based on the 70/30 split. As Haymon is also Breazeale’s advisor, why didn’t he also advise him on how much DAZN was offering? I know they are catering to keep Wilder happy but what about Breazeales interests?
Breazeale became mandatory thanks to Haymon knowing how to maneuver through the rules and ratings. Breazeale is getting a second world heavyweight title shot due to Haymon's leverage and expertise. Breazeale's biggest win is Amir Mansour, yet he's a millionaire many times over. Would have been ludicrous to force a purse bid. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
ok i'll play down to you. if it went to purse bids, again, dazn would win, and they wouldn't offer anything less than 15 to make sure they win the bid. a purse bid would not involve options on any future fight. it would probably be somewhere around the 20m that they offered him. again, if you are saying no one would bid that much, then clearly, you are saying wilder is not worth what he's been offered.
fury's next opponent would get what he negotiates for and agrees to. it would not be a purse bid, because FURY HAS NO BELTS. that's the difference here.
i'm new, but you're the one acting like a noob.
No, if it went to purse bids DAZN wouldn't win, they wouldn't offer anything near the 20m.
That fight is worth nowhere near that.
The fight didn't go to purse bid and if it did BOTH fighters would of got less money. DAZN offering 20M to Wilder has nothing to do with what they would of paid Breazeale. The only reason DAZN and ESPN were willing to pay wilder more then the market value of this fight (and risk losing money on this fight) is because they wanted to make up that money by landing the bigger fights AFTER this one (Fury rematch or Joshua mega fight). Nobody is overpaying or overbidding for this fight without a contract to the actual big fight after this one. And what they willing to give Wilder has little to do what they willing to give Breazeale.
Who were you responding to? I said pretty much the same thing.
Where did this $6-$7 Million Figure for Breazeale come from? I've never heard that. Or is that Eddie throwing around these numbers even he knows DAZN won't pay at least not for Breazeale to try and create some type of rift among PBC and the fighters to make them feel like they're underpaid to lure them away from PBC I guess
Breazeale is not f#cking worth $6-$7 Million and a purse bid would not even get that high for him to make that much STOP IT!
I'm sure they have looked after Wilder and paid him close to 20 Mil but they must be taking a loss in that event. Either way they will cater for Wilder while screwing Dominic up. Part of his purse made its way to Wilder I'm guessing.
I wouldn't make that assumption. I think Breazeale is probably on a fixed number - this isn't PPV after all - and therefore just didn't get a bump whereas he would have under DAZN.
Otherwise, he'd pull out and sue for breach of contract.
I'm not so sure I agree with your police work there, Lou. Wilder was getting $12.5M before and there's little doubt that Showtime upped the offer after the DAZN push. It's a good bet they matched it or came very close to that $20M number. Which sets up Wilder to make a 3 fight deal that probably approaches $150M if he takes on both Fury and AJ.
While it would have been nice for Wilder's camp to look out for Breazeale's interests, let's face it - none of those guys do that. They're all out for themselves. So Breazeale got screwed in this deal but he can change it all around by beating Wilder.

They wouldn’t bid that much without having options on the next fight. Are you retarded?
I know you New here but at least act like you know the business of boxing.
You still didn’t answer my question. Does that mean Fury next opponent would get 6-8m since he signed a 100MILLION contract? Can’t wait to see you answer this. Lol

he didn't push for purse bids because his "advisor" clearly gave him bad advice.
so if dazn wouldn't bid 20m, that means you admit that wilder is not worth even half of all the offers he's been getting from matchroom and dazn.
dazn would have won the purse bid for sure, if breazelle forced it to go to purse bids.
you must be playing dumb. if wilder gets 20m on dazn, why would breazelle accepst less than 6m, which is 23% of the split?
i'm all for having a debate to support your guy, but make sure you aren't wasting my time with dumb arguments.

Then why didn’t he push for the purse bid? Who was going to bid 20m on this ONE fight? Not DAZN. Why would his purse be contingent on Wilder deal? No one from DAZN ever said they were paying him 6m. Explain to me how Wilder deal would mean Breazeale makes 6m that makes absolutely no sense. So does Fury next opponent get 6M since Fury signed a 100MILLION deal?
L-M-A-O

he would have gotten at least 6m if wilder signed the dazn deal. otherwise it would go to purse bids, and 6m would be the minimum he would get. if wilder would get 20m, the on a 70-30 split, breazelle should be getting close to 8.6mill.
don't be dumb.

When was he offered 6M lol you brits lie all day

Didn't go to purse bids, they made a deal. They can make any deal they want.
What would this fight have realistically done had it gone to purse bids? I'm guessing jack ****. It's not a big fight.
So Breazeale is probably still getting a good payday.
Wilder has been offered something. Not clear what would persuade him to turn down $20M though... unless he's got no intention of fighting Joshua next.

And what they willing to give Wilder has little to do what they willing to give Breazeale.
I'm not buying this. Just because DAZN was willing to pay Wilder 20M as part of a larger contract to fight Joshua after that doesn't mean Breazeale's pay increases by double or triple as well. If the fight would of been made on DAZN he likely makes the same amount he would of got on Showtime. Just like when Showtime signed Floyd he was making 30M but a lot of his opponents were making only like 2M. Nobody is paying Breazeale 6M not DAZN not Showtime not PBC nobody. And even if he wins he is not getting the same contract offer Wilder got. LMAO
We’ll wait to see the official purses are, but Breazeale could have earned 6m for this fight. If he’s not Earning more than 4, he may be an idiot and should fire haymon right after this fight.
Losing close to 50% of your paycheck in the millions because your “advisor” is not trying to give you the true story is inexcusable.

Who in the right mind will think that a Wilder/Breazeale fight is worth 26 million.
Who is willing to lose that much money and risk of Wilder getting KOed.
Does this make sense to anybody?
Wilder is not a huge star and Breazeale is an unknown.
Even if that's true, it's not Wilder's responsibility to do what's in another fighter's best interest. You want money, win the big fights. Then you make the calls.
This is true.
However, Al is an advisor and his job is to get his fighters the most money and Brezeale is one of his fighters.
Didn't go to purse bids, they made a deal. They can make any deal they want.

The thing people are missing here is, $3m is a 70/30 split. Does that mean Wilder is getting $7m? For those reporting Wilder to be getting $10m, how does 70/30 = $10m/$3m? Isn't that close to a 80/20 split? Am I using the wrong maths? Lol.
