    Should wilder be mad at haymon?

    Imo haymon influenced/manipulated wilder into rejecting the 100 million because he wanted wilder to help pbc flourish and didn't care about his own fighters best interest. They tried to guide him with easy fights and that backfired. Losing to the best for a lot more money would have looked q lot better for him but now he must know he was manufactured. The plausible deniability is all but gone.. thr biggest puncher in boxing history nonsense is gone.. 28 percrnt ko ratio against top 10 opponens...atrocious.

    I'm still not convinced that the 100 million dollar payday was ever a real thing.

      Wilders team admitted it was a real offer...they decided to go in a different direction for much less money against weaker fighters. 100 mill to fight #1 guy or 50 million to fight the #7 guy(fury) but wilders fanboys also said Hearn low-balled wilder when he offered him 12.5 million a year earlier...his career high payday was 2 million at the time. They made a career out of talking big..and backing down and not just against Joshua. Don't know why people can't see they were simply running a scam and now it's over

        Yes Haymon cost Wilder an incredible amount of money for his ego based cold war with hearn.

          People make decisions based on the information they have and the alternatives they can think of. Hindsight is good but also something that is not available at the time of decision-making.

          The supposed $100m was for a potential 3-fight deal but Joshua lost to Andy and that may have never been realized anyway. Also, DAZN was just entering the market and it was an unknown/unreliable thing, so to take a leap of faith from a known entity with whom you have done tons of business to an unknown entity that was also there. Moreover, the head of DAZN also mentioned that they messed up in the way they approached to make a deal and lacked confidence building/clarity.

            It's not a conspiracy theory. Everyone has admitted it was real.

              He will definitely regret it. But at the same time that's life.

              He'll probably wonder and tell his grandkids of what could've been (and what could've been if Fury didn't cheat (lol)). But we've all had those moments.

              He trusted who he trusted, but it is what it is.

                So why did they fire Lou Dibella then ? Was that meeting fake bc I could have sworn Wilder went with Lou to DAZN board and negotiated that deal . Lol

                I”ll tell you like I told the few like you who exist on here it’s 2023 now give it a rest it’s corny now .Lol

                  Was it really about Haymon not wanting to lose to Hearn? because Wilder was ready to go to Russia to fight Povetkin for 8 million.

                  Haymon will be sick this morning.

                    But if true it means Haymon screwed himself not making Wilder fight for those 100 million. Doesn't make much sense.
