Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Hold The Keys To The Heavyweight Division

[DJrabit]

So you avoid AJ to fight a boxer not in the top 10 and that AJ beat. This makes no sense.

[Noelanthony]

let me ask you something

was wilder gonna fight AJ next?

ill answer it for you since we both know the answer....its NO...he was fighting dom anyway

after june 1st wilder can still go to them and say "lets make this fight

wilder isnt going to let DAZN dictate it though....theyre gonna have to work the fight together.....anyone can see clearly see DAZN wants 100 percent of the fight to potentially recoup the investment in AJ...if AJ loses DAZN loses...unless they have wilder too

wilder isnt giving them what they want...hes not letting them dictate

when the miller and brezeale fights are over they can revisit this

AJ was offered 50 million where Team Wilder and showtime wanted to control everything . You and every Wilder fan lambasted AJ for not taking the deal. Now when Wilder is offered life changing money you have turned into a quantum physicist telling me about wave function and probability distribution

[Jax teller]

Lololololol ....It’s a joke. I want to know what idea did he have that his team went away and made it sweeter for him?He is talking absolute nonsense

I know he's got 20 something managers but he should really get someone independent of Haymon/Finkel outfit to explain it all to him, how much he could have earnt or not, these guys have got too many conflicts of interest like keeping their network deals alive to letting Wilder fight elsewhere for his biggest money. Literally never spent a penny on getting him some good opponents and unifications to get him money earlier on, they've never backed him and they're taking him for a mug with his loyalty.

^^ Those 3 guys right there

But I mean the money is with DAZN right? Didn't they offer him an incredible amount? Win or lose I just don't see the downside at all.

[Curt Henning]

It's always something. Offer is outrages. It was good enough for canelo.....we will regroup after these fights, but it doesn't look good. Wilder had exceeded his worth. How much more do you think he can make. Either he wants the fight or not

He claimed AJ was ducking for refusing his 50 mil. So what is wilder for rejecting his large offer?

thats what AJ asked for though...he said "gimme that ill sign tomorrow"

dont remember wilder saying "you sign me to a 3 fight deal for 100 mil and ill sign tomorrow"

like i said my friend....WILDER WAS FIGHTING BREZEALE ANYWAY NEXT.....let that sink in

that plan has NOT changed

he can go to them after AJ is done fighting june 1st and likely ask for a 50-50 split on everything.....without having to let DAZN have a piece of him and dictate everything.......

just wait and see....because as of right now nothing as changed as far as plans for either guy...they were both fighting other guys

Right,but hes fighting the same guy for A LOT LESS money. I personally think Aj is better than wilder (duh) but I always had the belief that wilder will land and beat Aj when they fight. So I'm confused on why he is not JUMPING at the chance to fight AJ and make a fortune to do so. But like you said, we shall see what happens. Maybe wilder isn't ducking, but taking a gamble for a bigger offer.

[todisday]

AJ is PPV all day every day...thats why Wilder cant be expecting 50/50...its a supply and demand thing, nobody is demanding Wilder to fight Brezeale. Wilder is not trying to be fair to the fans, he is being manipulated by his management. The fans thing is just another excuse to cover up his duck that was prompted by his management and is 100% a money issue.

The reason boxing is in chaos is the proliferation of the governing bodies and the greed of many leeches...eddie hearn, al haymon etc etc.

Speaking of Hearn, AJ isn't on PPV; he's on a streaming service and like 16,000 people watched his last fight lol

[Blond Beast]

I don't know about holding the keys...HOWEVER the biggest fight in boxing can't get made without him

Exactly. The fight is bigger than the sum of its parts. If u take a flat fee u only look smart if the fight tanks. If the fight does huge numbers, the same people who paid him will call him an idiot. If they thought Wilder would make less taking a percentage how one they aren’t offering that? The only way they can rip Wilder off is by a flat rate.

[john l]

So far he has not signed long term contract with Show and Finkel said ANY such contract would have OUTS in it.And who cares where he or AJ fight their interim fight?AJ everybody seems to forget is NOT signed to DAZN so nothing stopping him from doing a SHOW/FOX PPV.And im interested to see what numbers Spence Mikey do because FOX put out about 8-10 pre fight shows for JUST that fight.Many were on FOX on SAT afternoons the rest on FOX1 who anyone who gets ESPN gets.That fight should have done 150-250 thousand PPV since neither has done PPV before and neither is a big star at all Mikey at least has a bit of Mexican following.Kov vs Ward was two PFP fighters but bombed and both had been hyped by HBO so im interested in what FOX can do.And this in worst case scenario don't change fact the AJ has avoided fight in past and Fury just plain DUCKED rematch and then when Arum and he got bad press he sent over a 5 fight deal that said NO 1ST FIGHT and MAYBE 2nd.So if Wilder after this fight seems just willing to fight others on Show(Kownacki ect) then it just means NOW that one is scared and the other is glad of it.The only winners are the promoters and the fanboys of either fighter.The losers the REAL fans per usual.

No way anyone would have took that 12 mil flat rate that was way of avoiding fight without coming out and saying so.
