Who here still thinks Wilder and his team wanted the fight?

[Jubei]

This poll turned out brutal for Wilder. Good to have some honesty here and realize the degenerates are in the minority.

[Clegg]

Can't be sure on each team but just on the fighters, seemed in 2018 that Wilder wanted it straight away more than AJ did. Don't agree with his reasons for turning down the recent offer. I don't see Wilder as scared but perhaps misguided or greedy.

[Robbie Barrett]

Wilder gained some good publicity but now he's been exposed as a coward.

[BIG GUNZ]

I'm not sure if it's about not wanting the fight, or that his advisers would rather earn less money and block their fighter if it means preventing Hearn and DAZN gaining more momentum in the sport. It wouldn't be a good look for PBC if their only Heavyweight star jumped to DAZN.

Probably a mix of both

I don’t think Wilder is afraid of the fight but as you said it’s probably his advisers not wanting him on DAZN. Too bad they can’t just work out some sort of joint venture where the first Joshua fight could be on DAZN for instance & than the rematch can be on Showtime PPV or FOX. It would take a lot of negotiating for that to happen but it feels like Wilder & his team don’t want to strictly fight on DAZN for 3 straight fights.

Nothing changed because they were never fighting next, Wilder wanted to do a Fury rematch which got put on hold but was always something that could occur and is now fighting his mandatory. Joshua was lined up to face Miller in the US and make a US debut.

The fight can still happen next or down the road a bit, nothing happened other than who is showing the Breazeale fight. I don't get why this has some grander meaning, because there is no reason for Wilder to be locked in if he feels he can do as good or better by waiting and doing this fight on Showtime.

I would say it was a good deal but maybe Wilder feels there is more meat on the bone and even if he takes short money for more eyeball on the Breazeale fight that investment will reap some rewards to cover what was lost or perhaps even make more.

Boxing is usually not planned out three fights ahead, in fact when was that really ever how it worked. When the time comes to actually make the fight a reality that is when to see what happens and perhaps make a judgement anyone saying anything now is reaching.
