Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Wilder Would Be Criticized Less If People Knew Purse

Why don't Espinoza just focus on helping make fights happen, instead of trying to upstage another promoter to the extent of losing money? Why does it matter if another entity carry the fight as long as it happens? Why are you letting yourself to become part of the roadblock?

Y’all are dumb. Wilder didn’t turn down AJ. He turned down signing a multi-fight deal with DAZN in order to get AJ.

lol wilderfan logic... the multiple fights WERE the AJ fights! the breazele fight was just bonus money. the man is a fraud

[crystos]

like everything about wilder..smoke and mirrors..

Well it seems like you looked at it again and still feel same way and you have my respect for that. Instead of coming back with BS insults like most on here you were open to look again so all I can say is we will just have to agree to disagree on that which is fine.Have a great weekend even though big fight is a complete misnatch the Gvozdyk v Dogpoop fight I think we can agree on that.

Lol

One more thing about wilder vs fury round 12...if you watch the view shot from the crowd which shows their legs/feet, you can see wilder’s legs stiffen briefly after he gets hit and he falls into a clinch. He wasn’t devastatingly hurt or anything, but he definitely felt it. He got buzzed no question.

I don't think wilder is the A side. He's been making 2-3million per fight on cable tv before the fury fight and he's 40 fights into his career.
The fury fight did 325000 busy roughly in a half full staples centre.
Joshua is selling out the garden and is making 30 million dollars for fighting miller who nobody knows.

On you're second point you are right. I don't know the ins and outs of the deal. I'm presuming Joshua was getting a 60/40 split in his favour as that's the split that Hearn and Joshua are pushing for. It seems to me that Finkel and Haymon care more about destroying Hearn than looking after their fighter. If there's no incentives and hidden terms its an insane deal for a fighter who was making peanuts before dazn came along. Can't believe they turned it down.

Warren has gone on record saying the 50 million involved him. Him and finkel wanted to put it on BT ppv in UK. I know aj is with Hearn but the offer was for Finkel and haymon to take charge of the whole promotion and work with Warren, who has an exclusive deal with BT, to put it on BT ppv.

AJ isn't making 30 million. He stands to make up to 25mil. Hearn said it was possible with MSG buying the fight, sponsors and foreign rights that he could get 30. The fact of the matter is with the deal AJ signed with Hearn Hearn HAS to pay AJ at least that much per fight. AJ is not gonna generate that much in his fight.

MSG isn't sold out. Go to StubHub and see an arena full of tickets available. Hearn tried to scalp tickets for a fight no one is interested in.

The Staples CENTER was sold out and they opened up extra seats in the arena. And the fact that you spelled center centre let's me know you are British so your opinion on dazn is irrelevant. You don't have access. AJ is worthless here to let you know so he would not be A side on a US fight

AJ isn't even signed there so they can't officially offer him AJ. Why not sign the guy they actually have a relationship with 1st? No one else has to sign multiple fight deals for 1 fight. Why should Wilder

What does that got to do with making the AJ fight happen? Espinoza is becoming irrelevant. He's essentially an enabler.

Well I have seen it a few times and like I said we will just have to agree to disagree.Wilder was completely gassed so his legs might not have been great at that point but I don't think he was hurt at all just at that point waiting for bell.Like I said earlier I KNEW after he made two LITTLE attempts to finish Fury that even with about 1:30 left it was Wilder who needed to pull off or he MAY have gotten hurt because he had NOTHING left.

Ummm I live in Southern California and I'm a huge boxing fan. I thought about going to the fight but when I found out they were GIVING TICKETS AWAY I figured "why would I pay for tickets that they are giving away. Also, the fight was in no way sold out. They were selling tickets on Groupon and giving tickets away to make the Staples Center look full. The Joshua vs Miller fight tickets are selling for about 3 times what the Wilder vs Breazeale tickets are going for and the AJ vs Miller fight will STILL outsell the Wilder vs Breazeale fight. Stop pumping that fraud up, he lost to Fury, got helped against Ortiz and by turning down 140 million he's running from AJ. He also is scared to fight Whyte too hahaha. So please, see him for what he is, a WBC protected, bum beating, overrated, wild swinging fraud of a chumpion
