      The beauty of basically living your entire career free to pursue the best opportunity possible, wherever it is, is that the idea of giving up that freedom gives everyone in the camp pause.

      Wilder vs Joshua is the fight; rather than worrying about what Wilder does with the rest of his time, let Joshua fight Miller, and then again sit with Wilder's camp to see if an agreement could be had.

      60/40 Joshua split of everything and you have a fight
      Guaranteed 35mil?

      What have you been smoking?

        Whatever ESPN or DAZN offers Wilder, Haymon will match, which is why Haymon's stars typically don't leave.
        Will be great to see Wilder earning 15 mil vs Breazele next on Showtime then.

        Kudos if they give him 3x what he made on PPV vs Fury.

        Somehow I doubt it.

          Letting a network dictate and control who you fight and when is "giving up" your fighter. That is literally outrageous and no way should Finkel give up his fighter that way.
          Its only outrageous when such demands are made of the american fighter. Fury fought in America on wilders network on Haymon card with Haymon judges and got robbed for it. Its only fair for fury to return the favour

              That's great and all that you took your time to write that in reply to what I said, but that literally has nothing to do with my post.

              No offense but it looks like you picked a random post to quote and write that to. You may want to re read what I said and grasp my point if this isn't the case. I will restate my point to help you out though.

              No fighter should be slave to a network and abide solely by what a network wants. That should be up to the fighter, promoter, manager/advisor. I dislike the fact Fury is in this position, it is unfair to him and his team. No fighter should be in this position. It is also unfair to us fans who want to see the best fights.

                Fury's piece on the Wilder rematch, from what was made public, was $17.5m.

                Keep up.
