    Remember when Deontay passed up $100 Million?

    And Ellerbe came out the woods and praised him...

    “I told Deontay Wilder this when I saw him last week. I congratulated him and applauded him for not taking the DAZN deal. That was the smartest move he has made in his entire career,” Ellerbe told BoxingScene.com. “He would have had a ceiling on the success that he could have on his events. There would have been a ceiling there on what he could make.”

    The deal rumored to have been offered to Wilder was a four-fight $120 million deal that would have seen two of those fights be against rival and former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

    “He is in the driver’s seat. He put the onus on himself and he is betting on himself. You can never go wrong with that because you put it in your hands and in your control,”
    What a crock...bet Deontay wishing he has that $120 million "ceiling" now lmfaooo

            I trust a fighter more than the typical anonymous Hearn ****riders who post on this sub

            And the deal was garbage, same reason Canelo jumped from his $365m deal too:



            Alvarez, a four-weight world champion and considered one of the sport’s pound-for-pound kings, filed a civil suit against his promoter and broadcast partner in September over their alleged failure to deliver on the terms of his mammoth 11-fight deal, which was signed in 2018. At the time, ESPN reported the agreement was the richest athlete contract in sports history.
            Canelo must be ****** as well right?

            LOL never ceases to amuse me when people criticise a Harvard educated accountant who built up North America's biggest boxing stable and the highest earning American boxer who may end up getting paid $10m+ to sit on his ass.

            As I say, and will say to the end of time, Hearn and co. appeal to dumbass English boxing fans. The same ****tards who get absolutely fleeced watching the EPL on Sky too.

            I'm almost certain that, when the dust has settled, it'll turn out DAZN was a giant con and likely overplayed their hand by trying to muscle into markets too fast.



            You would be mad to go into business with them on anything other than a fight-by-fight basis.

                This is why the Ali Act was created, man.

                I am not someone that just hates on Haymon all day, but Al had an extreme conflict of interest; PBC had just signed the deal with Fox who expected to be in the "premier position" selecting what fights and fighters fought on their network. Having Haymon's freakin' heavyweight champion sign with another network would have been a problem.

                Any manager with any degree of integrity would have told Wilder to sign that ****. Wilder wasn't Floyd Mayweather; he'd gotten a GIFT draw against Fury and in REALITY he was at high risk of losing the title any time he stepped into the ring.

                Lou Dibella has got to wake up every day shaking his head in disbelief.

                    Canelo said he was open to fighting on DAZN but he was done with DLH and GBP.

                    Canelo is literally fighting Saunders on DAZN network.

                    ........
