    Canelo is literally fighting Saunders on DAZN network.

    ........

    So what was your whole post about ?
    Did you even read what I said? Canelo is in no extensive contract like the one indicative of the one they asked Wilder to sign.

      It's the same as "daring to be great" ... when it doesn't work out like with Kell Brook or Mikey Garcia, people **** on the fighters and say they cashed out. He took a chance, and it didn't work out.

      However, Wilder's not likely to be in the poor house anytime soon, and probably has more money than everyone in this thread. He's fine.

        Exactly.

        TBF Khan too. Irks the **** out of me seeing fighters literally being critiqued for actually having a set of balls.

          The same? Those fighters took the biggest money they could get. Wilder turned it down, because he’s so dumb he’s got several managers and advisors all taking money from him to make basic decisions anyone with any intelligence could make themselves.

            He betted on himself and lost. If he would had KOed Fury he would had been on the driver's seat but now he sits at the back of the bus. Moral of the story if they offer you so much money take it. It is prize fighting and those opportunities rarely happens.

              Canelo also isn't getting $120 million for 4 fights...cause he wouldve taken that. Any fighter besides Wilder would.

              You suggest Canelo left DAZN because it was bad...

              Canelo must be ****** as well right?

              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.
              Yet Canelo fighting w DAZN right after leaving them...and his Callum Smith fight was also DAZN...

              The platform is fine. GBP and/or DLH are not.

                That has nothing to do with anything.

                Wilder was offered $120 million at 33 years of age for a 4 fight contract and 2 fights against Joshua. He turned it down, has since been KOd and will never see half that money again.

                That is not the same as "daring to be great". Hell he's still pandering for a rematch with Fury TODAY...has Joshua KOd Wilder he wouldve had a built-in rematch along with a fat payday.

                Instead he's on Facebook reading about conspiracy theories. It was a bad decision...and a pretty expensive one.
