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

[champion4ever]

It's possible that they only wanted a two fight deal with DAZN against Anthony Joshua.

Man your not a promoter your a fan and this fight has been "marinating" enough.All they would do by holding it off until next year or longer is maximize the chance they end up with NOTHING.You have two undefeated KO artist's with a combined rec of 62-0-1 60KOs so the time to strike is NOW while the iron is hot.And they would STILL have the chance to build it up since now BOTH will be fighting interim fights already.Only people who don't want this fight is fanboys of either fighter or maybe a certain promoter/fighter.Will have to wait until details come out about deal before I consider Wilder avoiding it like AJ and CLEARLY Fury have in past.I know Wilder wanted it before and he CLEARLY wanted 2nd Fury fight. But if its a case of one being scared and the other being glad of it then ill be 1st to call Wilder out because im not a fanboy(like MAYBE certain people)im a fan and THE SPORT ALWAYS comes 1st.

With respect, I don't think you've understood the point I was making.

Under Hearns deal the fight would've happened before Breazeales involvement. Now Wilder gets K.O'd by Breazeale because he didn't sign Hearns 15 million contract that Finkel sent back and he ended up fighting Fury for 7 million instead anyway after declining another 28 million and 2 way rematch offer from Hearn . Ha

Am still watching the situation closely cos money is no longer the problem. There is enough money on the table only an insane person will turn down.

The Devil is in the details!

March 13, 2019:

WBN is currently reporting that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has been offered $50 million for a two-fight deal on DAZN. Wilder was known to be meeting with DAZN representatives this week and with this supposed offer Wilder would be set up to earn $25 million apiece for two fights that would eventually lead into an undisputed heavyweight title unification against Anthony Joshua should Wilder win in both outings. Wilder would then be able to negotiate a better deal for the Joshua fight separately...

If the offer proves to be legit it could be a hard one to turn down. Earning $25 million for two fights is certainly nothing to sneeze at, particularly with the potential to earn much more for a fight against Joshua. That said, Wilder might not be interested in making a two-fight commitment to DAZN as that would seemingly push any potential fight with Joshua into 2020.

Seems there's no guarantees that Wilder gets Joshua! Only that Wilder will fight on DAZN!

Sounds like a contract to protect AJ from Wilder, and ensure they dont fight (at least for the next 2 fights). Thats a lot of step aside money.
