Deontay Wilder signing largest 3 fight deal in history?

[Mirror Universe]

DAZN is offering Wilder a three fight deal. 20 million vs. Breazeale. 40 million vs. Joshua. 50 million vs. Joshua in a rematch if he wins the first fight and 30 million in a rematch if he loses the first fight.

We don't know if he'd end up earning 50 million or 30 million in the rematch, so let's average it to 40 million for the rematch. Plus 40 for the first fight and 20 for Breazeale.

That's 100 million for a three fight deal. Tyson Fury's deal is supposedly 100 million for five fights. Canelo's deal is 365 million for 11 fights.

By hook or by crook, if Wilder ends up with 100 million guaranteed for three fights, is that the biggest per fight average for a TV deal in boxing history? Mayweather's Showtime deal was six fights, 180 million.

I'm not saying Wilder does or does not deserve this kind of money. I'm not saying Wilder's drawing power justifies this kind of money.

But for a guy being urged not too long ago to accept 12.5 flat to go to the UK to face Joshua, it's incredible how this has turned out.

Where are you getting these numbers from?

You must not have actually read my post. Mayweather's Showtime deal was six fights, 180 million. 30 million per fight. Wilder's deal would be 33.

Yes Mayweather ended up making more because he ended up fighting Pacquiao in one of those fights, but in terms of the guarantee going into the multifight deal, I don't know that there's been a bigger deal than this supposed DAZN/Wilder deal.

Canelo is averaging 33M a fight with his deal

ESPN is reporting that Wilder would make at least 20 million vs. Breazeale and more than double that vs. Joshua. The 30 & 50 figures for a Joshua rematch were told to me by a friend that's a higher up at MSG that usually has accurate boxing gossip.

365 divided by 11 is 33.1.

100 divided by 3 is 33.3.

Well apparently he is. I know it's strange, but that's the boxing landscape right now for whatever reason.

If true (and without sources this. Hold be pure rubbish) I just hope it’s enough to entice wilder to sign so we can hopefully finally get this matchup with AJ
