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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Skeptics insist Deontay Wilder took a lot less money to fight Dominic Breazeale on Showtime than he would've earned had DAZN streamed that fight. DAZN executive chairman John Skipper offered Wilder $120 million in guarantees to fight four times on the emerging streaming service. That proposal included the Breazeale bout, two fights against Anthony Joshua and a fourth fight.

Wilder is criticized not for the purse but because he is a s h i t t y fighter and an idiot.

Hes criticisised because hes spent months and months calling joshua a coward and then when he offers 100 mill wilder turns it down and start talking about marinating and how big fights take time. He looks like a twat now.

The vast majority of criticism (and indeed a sick level of disordered obsession with council estate chavs who are unemployed and with too much time on their hands) is coming from Europe and specifically the uk where the Joshua-hearn fanbase is. Legions of casual fans who live vicariously through Eddie Hearn are the ones flooding social media with their off meds postings. It’s pathetic, severely disordered....and it makes one feel justified in throwing peanuts at such low intellects. I just cannot fathom the obsession these people have with other men’s finances not the disordered belief that wilder “must” sign with the app Hearn represents and has options with otherwise he is “ducking” when Joshua isn’t even signed with that app and at no time has ever been told he “must” sign with FOX or Showtime to fight wilder

But his managers want to know what Aj will be getting fighting useless set of peeps

[DaNeutral.]

It's not the purse he's getting it's the purse he turned down we moaning at. Plus the resume, plus turning down Anthony Joshua.

[Thuglife Nelo]

Wilder would be criticized less if Espinoza’s employees such as the Showtime Commentary team had scored it for Wilder...

[hitking]

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.

That's not the way Bob Arum spells loyalty

[Rip Chudd]

I couldn't care less about what he is making or didn't make. I want to see the best fight the best. Let women and fanboys argue over another man's pockets. If he is getting paid then good for him but I won't pay for or give attention to his fights if he wants to babysit a belt fighting cab drivers.
