    Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager on DAZN Offer: We Have A lot To Think About

    By March 19, we will learn whether Deontay Wilder will become the next high-profile network free agent to sign with DAZN, or if he's prepared to leave upwards of $100 million on the table for the sake of autonomy. The reigning heavyweight titlist was barely a day removed from his team having met with DAZN boss John Skipper in New York City when he revealed-through the press office of Swanson Communications-his intentions to provide full details for his next fight. A press conference will be held next Tuesday in Brooklyn, New York, where he will announce the particulars for a mandatory heavyweight title defense versus Dominic Breazeale.

      I’ve truly never seen anything like dazn In my 40 years of watching boxing before. I’ve never seen that amount of money being offered to fighters who’s talent level doesn’t seem to warrant the enormous pay. In my day I thought the Tyson-Holyfield rematch with both guys making over 30m was tremendous but both of those guys had been champs
      Multiple times over, had both lost, had both been knocked out, had both had high ppv sale rates and where instantly recognizeable by non boxing fans etc. This isn’t any of that. It’s great to see the fighters making that kind of money and competing with nfl, nba, mlb pay no doubt....but it still remains to be seen if actual stats can me made on an app only avenue in the USA. Dazn is paying for stars made on PBC, showtime, and hbo....can a fighter capture the casual crowd to have viewers in the millions on an app only? I just don’t see that yet. Dazn doesn’t have a robust marketing and promotion apparatus that crosses media lines. IE this in no way looks sustainable for that outfit. They have got to be heavily in the red with these contracts and lack of subscriptions and physical gates

          As in, Wilder won't be able to fight bums for $100 million and would be putting his record on the line and the risk of getting exposed.

            Alienhead definitely wants to keep the Deyonce train on the tracks but DAZN won't allow him to fight bums or cherry picks for his money.

            Time to step up.

              Win win. If he accepts we finally get to see the fight and if he rejects it we won’t have to hear “aj rejected 50mil to fight wilder” again.

                Earn 5 fight bums and have dodgy officials.

                Or.

                Earn 25 but no more bums and fair fights.

                That's the dilemma for finkel.

                  yes yes Wilder only fights bums,thats why last 2 fights he fought Ortiz(who aj would never face)& Fury & was going to rematch fury til he sht himself. Just as Wilder signed to face povetkin in russia before he got popped with peds(a prime povetkin not the washed up old version AJ faced) he even signed to face ortiz much sooner but he got popped,he even tried to do everything to face AJ but he. was shook . Keep trying you eurobum nuthugging fanbois

                    So 25mil for the Breazeale fight, 25mil against TBA, 50mil for the AJ fight? Nothing here to think about son. Take the damn money while they're giving it out like candy.
