Comments Thread For: Wilder Erupts on Hearn: You're a Disease, DAZN is Trash

[filup79]

ESPN+ is $5, but offers you documentaries relevant to American sports and they have a nice historic fight catalog. DAZN is $20 and you only get Matchroom and Bellator fights(That I know of right now).

Can't see it being worth it at that price tag. I saw enough people complaining about paying $5 to watch Crawford. Whose gonna pay $20 to watch Prospects and Match Room tough mans?

So true, I did the 7 day trial for the Crawford and cancelled after. I'm not really intreseted in paying 5 dollars for stuff I wont see everyday. Netflix, Amazon Prime and Showtime, I pay for those apps because they contain stuff I wanna see. I'm not going to shell out another $15 dollars for random fights here and there and I could careless about Bellator or UK fights or any other sport that isn't MLB, NBA or the NFL.

no way show time pays him 5 mill a fight

Deontay Wilder is already almost to the point where Showtime/CBS has seen enough to warrant the PPV move (the last bar, if we're honest, is to see Deontay Wilder in a Showtime-backed fight on CBS; the last two CBS shows saw the feature fighters split a guaranteed $4m).

It's not $5m, but $3.5m guaranteed and Showtime/CBS backing him for PPV going forward (even 250k homes @$65/$75 clears $6m on the US TV) isn't a bad gig.

Both parties are to blame for this farce but what is clear as was before snake Hearn never wanted to let go of his hold in any way and he put AJ. into a suit.Wilder just made it easier for them , so we'll never know what he really wanted.

F.....g joke all of them.

Good on Wilder for saying this. I can appreciate that Hearn is trying to make this fight as big as possible (albeit with dishonest antics), but you should probably insist on your fighter taking $50M with a even revenue split for a number of reasons. It's a fight that erases any and all doubt as to who the top heavyweight is, while simultaneously introducing Joshua to America in a major way, and making him over double what he's ever made in an already very profitable career. The only reason not to, is because you think that the fight is capable of Mayweather numbers, or you doubt that your guy can win. Hearn has already said that the fight isn't even worth what Wilder is offering, so there ya go lol

I can't wait until they finally make this fight and we get a presser.

I foresee Eddie catching a swing or two lol Still laughing about the Bellew v. Haye II presser when the scuffle broke out. For those who haven't seen it, it's worth a watch on YouTube

that would be so dope!

damn you’re always high. The same guy who said after andre ward retired that RNS would still be a force in boxing lol. That fox would buy rights to PBC lol since they are going WWE instead.

Deontay gets 1.2 mil viewers. Canelo was getting over 2 mil views and doing 300k buys.

Anything can be Pay oesaid view but wilder Breazeale wouldn’t crack 100k buys.

Wilder would be a fool for signing a contract now for a date almost a year from now. Hearn knows the fight will build up to that date, yet is trying to lock Wilder into a flat fee.

People from the UK must be embarrassed by Hearn and Joshua ducking Wilder, not to mention the lies from Hearn. Who turns down a guaranteed $50 million plus PPV shares? Wow.

Most blame Hearn, but look, if you were Joshua, all you would have to say is make the Wilder fight! He doesn't want it anymore than Hearn.

Short money? Dude tour career high payday was in tour last fight. $2.1 million. All these fanboys out here didn’t say a peep when your boy Mayweather said guys like Maidana hit the Mayweather Sweepstakes. He took $42 million and gave Maidana $1.5 million (first fight).

Mayweather Sweepstakes, huh?

Your career payday was $2.1 million and the offer to you got upped to $15 million and that’s short money.

Okay...

[rickJen]

Don't even know why he has no respect for Hearn
when here he is making an average of $1.3 mil,
while Joshua is making an average of $20 mil.
Hearn also added Klitschko in AJ's resume.
And you saw the fight. It was a see-saw battle where
AJ almost got stopped.
Meaning, it was still a risky fight.
On the other hand Wilder's manager had him avoid Wlad.
It's night and day.
He should be mad at his manager, or himself.

Wilder is right! This DAZN deal will drastically limit exposure for whoever signs to Hearn. It'll be funny if Joshua loses to Povetkin
