Deontay Wilder will formally announce his network decision on Tuesday, but expectation is that he will reject @DAZN_USA's offer, sources tell @SInow. DAZN has aggressively pursued Wilder in the last week, offering him a multi-fight deal that would well exceed $100 million.

That May 18, 2019 date is tentatively scheduled for Alexander Povetkin vs Oleksandr Usyk in Chicago on DAZN. So there's a scheduling conflict of interest for the Wilder vs Breazeale fight.Comment

Trust me; This is John Skipper's call because Eddie Hearn had already booked that May 18th Chicago date for the Usyk vs Povetkin bout before Wilder even pondered signing with DAZN.Comment

I really don’t care where he signs it’s not my money all I care about is the fights. AJ not signed to DAZN so it really doesn’t matterComment
