how did wilder become a 9 figure dude?

[Larry the boss]

why care about anything? Lets just all practice nihilism shall we?

Its a boxing forum...thats why were here...and the business side is a part of the sport unfortunately

so im asking a question

how did wilder go from ony being worth 12.5 to fight aj mere months ago to now being offered more than that to fight brezeale? Did i miss something?

you are a grown ass man arguing over another grown ass mans money..wtf is wrong with you?

[Fabes88]

if he turns it down and doesnt get the AJ fight in the next year than yes it will have been dumb

but the pressure will be on AJ....AJ cant fight jarrell and povetkins over and over without feeling the heat...the backlash....he has to fight wilder soon....hes the big superstar...the guy with 3 belts....the onus will be on him

sooner or later eddie will have to come correct

hearn works for DAZN....its the same thing...hearns bosses offered dude 100 mil....when hearn said wilder wasnt ****!!

Wow. Wilder turns down 100 mil yet the pressure is still on aj? Are you alright

[rickJen]

Question really is why is he only worth $2 mil when it comes to Espinoza and Haymon?

[moochi]

He's lucked out... it's more to do with Fury and AJ than Wilder.

It's because them 2 are getting massive contracts and they will need dance partners.

If Wilder was the first of the 3 to get this huge offer, then you could say he has the value, but he's the last of them in a very very hot TV market at the moment so he has had the lucky stars shine on him.

larry...u need help man...you are trying to project how cool and manly you are...im not arguing about his money...im simply asking how he went from being worth x to being worth z in a matter of mere months

i really dont care if he makes 2 mil or 20 in his next fight....hes obviously going to make the best/smartest decision for himself...he has some of the biggest and best in his corner to help him make that decision

im simply asking how his value increased so much over a short period of time when so many claim that he lost to fury and nobody cares about him either

[Jsmooth9876]

I'm not gonna get into the topic at hand too much except to say I think Wilder should take the money and run because I don't think hes gonna make that kind of scratch with Showtime/Fox and if a Joshua fight IS guaranteed as part of the deal, what else does he want?
Some of the back and forth in here is pretty funny chit though

[Curt Henning]

AJ is the HW cash cow...hes the "superstar" globablly supposedly...he also holds 3 major belts....the pressure will be on him to land a wilder fight

yes..im alright...its called common sense...

the public isnt going to allow AJ to fight millers and povetkins much longer without answering the wilder question.....its logic....try using some of it

before ggg/canelo was made the media was putting the pressure on canelo........right? the same will happen to AJ....thats why wilder isnt jumping at this DAZN money......he probably thinks he can get it on his own terms

didnt the media and public put pressue on canelo to fight ggg as the tension built?

AJ will be no different...AJ is going to have to fight wilder....he cant dance around and claim to be the man while fighting povetkins and millers.....it just wont work...hes already wasted about a year of making excuses....he doesnt have much time left...he will run out of excuses

[Boxingraya]

wilder was worth 12.5 just a mere months ago

how is he now getting more than that just to fight dom breezy? doesnt make sense

it wasnt long ago tyson fury was making videos in LA where people didnt even know who wilder was(that had to be real and genuine theres no way anyone uses a camera to make falsehoods)!!!

nobody knows wilder....he dont sell out 80k soccer stadiums

just how is that dude getting 100 mil for 3 fights?!?!?

wtf lol

its like someone waved a magic wand and poooofffff....

If you're honest when someone asks, what 5 fights do we need to see in boxing today, you would have to name Wilder in at least 2 of the top 5. That's why.

The public aren’t ******. If someone turns down 100 million what can aj do about it? Suck him off to sweeten the deal?

People were putting pressure on Canelo because it seemed like he was the one holding up the fight.

Wilder just turned down 100 mil. No one in there right mind will blame joshua the pressure will be on Deontay. Then again his fan base aren’t in their right minds most of the time and If you can’t see why someone turning down a 100mil deal will make it seem like they’re ducking the fight then you’re just proving my point.
