    Wilder isn't Mayweather. He's not getting any deal like that.
    Probably not but it will be much better than DAZN's deal. I can guarantee you that.

        This isn't about us, though. This is about Wilder, and he takes this personally. He's mad at Hearn and on principle wants to force a 50/50 split for how they ducked him in the past. Working for Hearn now would be degrading after all the back and forth shiz talking they've had and still have to dis day.

        Plus, this fight may not be Mayweather-Pacquiao, but it will be a lot closer to that than not. 40 million is a ripoff.
        In other words you don’t mind wilder ducking the big fights to avoid losing.

Actually 41.3k which is up 200 subscribers from last week. I just don’t see how the business is sustainable so to me it doesn’t seem real. I’m sure everyone is going to ask Wilder about it today so maybe he can confirm it, or at least give his reason for turning down such a massive offer. If the offers true.
          I think it’s pointless looking at how many subscribers they have right now. They’ve made major moves signing the biggest names in boxing today, no doubt their subscribers will quadruple when Canelo fights Jacobs. I think that will be when they will really start to push on. Tbh who knows if it’s sustainable or not which is more reason to take this money whilst it’s still there. Wilders value hasn’t really gone up, the market has just changed. Say dazn tanks in the next year aj can go back to England and make millions against literally anyone. Fury is set up nice on ESPN but wilder will not command those figures

          I dont know if they have an exclusive deal with aj I see conflicting reports on here

            No he won't. Some people NEVER tire of being wrong.

                That is beyond dispute at this moment in time.
                Yep, especially Finkel.

                  Hearn repeatedly said recently that the fight can only happen if Wilder signs with DAZN. Now you're claiming Hearn also said the fight can happen on Showtime.

                    Get a direct quote of Hearn saying it can only happen on DAZN it shouldn't be hard if he said it repeatedly.

                    (Bet you can't find one since he has always said it can go to the highest bidder and AJ doesn't have a contract with DAZN)

                      I literally have no idea how ya'll are gonna try spinning this into that. Wilder just tried to fight Fury again, and Fury ran from the fight hiding behind Arum. Fury's a harder fight for Wilder than Joshua, so wth? Joshua's a lot easier. Why in the world would Wilder duck him? He's been trying to make this fight, but Joshua didn't want it, so why should he accept 40 mill flat fees? F that. 50-50 or no fight. No options either. Winner takes all.
