How much does Deontay Wilder make in future fights, without Fury or AJ?

I can't answer that question, he's making good money now but the critique from the fans for refusing to fight Joshua or Fury is massive. I'm not sure if Showtime can pay him anything more than that, especially if fans will continue to express their displeasure with his long marinating of the big fights. Everybody hated Mayweather for his marinating tactics and still payed to watch him but Wilder is not Mayweather and it most likely won't work for the second time.

Say between now and 2021, Deontay fights the following line-up:

Dominic Breazeale
Adam Kownacki
Luis Ortiz II
Charles Martin/Jarrell Miller

He is making $10m for the Breazeale fight, I've seen that figure quoted many different places. How much do you see him making for the other three? Do his earnings improve? Stay the same? Drop? And what is your reasoning?

Let's assume he continues his "one face, one name..." narrative during this period, and continues to talk about Fury and AJ in the media. I assume that's where most of his publicity comes from.

$10 million for Breazeale? Expect Breazeale to lose on the cards regardless of this is the case.

Not one of those is PPV worthy. So in theory he gets relatively low money.

But it's hard to predict the narrative around those fights.

This time around I'm sure he's getting more money than a domestic fight with Breazeale is worth. He's getting it because of the leverage he has from offers to fight AJ.

it's tough to predict how long that narrative lasts if he's consistently turning down the big fight.

I'll take a guess that he gets away with it one more time before he either takes the fight, or his money drops.

First off, he's not making anywhere near 10 million to fight Breazeale hahahaha. That's ridiculous. He won't even have half the arena full unless he starts giving away tickets again like the Fury fight.

I dont know, i can guess it isnt 100 million or more and i expect Wilder to of lost some of his fanbase due to ducking Joshua and 100 million. However this may look to hardcore Wilder fans i can tell you everybody else is scratching their heads about the refusal and are calling it a duck. They dont know what Wilder is saying when he is talking about loyalty and being a free agent, they just know he has been calling out Joshua and has been offered crazy money to do it and hes walked away.

I expect his purses to be pumped up by his people because going back to the money he used to make, and if they payed him per revenue that is what he would be back to getting, he would look like a ****ing idiot and a ducker.

But the man is a ducker so everybody barr a few blinded idiots would be right.

The Kownacki fight could potentially pay him a lot due to the polish angle.
