Comments Thread For: Wilder To Return To Basics For Breazeale, Still Guarantees KO

[removed]

This bum never left the basics.

yeah turn down 100 then accept 40. have you heard wilder talk? he thinks the joshua fight is going to earn him more than 100 million. he thinks the fight is going to be on ppv when neither guy is a ppv star and wont be since joshua fights on dazn. hes deluded. all he can do now is hope joshua doesnt become even more popular cause then the 100 million starts shrinking fast(if its still on the table)

No, you misunderstood. DAZN and Matchroom was trying to lock Deontay Wilder into signing a long term deal with them that's worth more than $120mil for over four fights. Which was the reason why Stephen Espinoza said that Deontay wouldn't sign the deal.

The fight has to be on Pay Per View. It's too big not to because of its unlimited opportunities. On the other hand, DAZN's audience is very marginalized.

They have a hard salary cap where the purses and percentages won't increase no matter how many subscribers they get. As a matter fact, they have less than a 100,000 subscribers in the U.S. Alone.

Wilder's fame and popularity will more than make up for any shrinkage just as long as he keeps winning. In addition, perhaps, Joshua and Matchroom just might have to capitulate to a 50/50 purse split with Wilder.

After all, the first fight will be staged in the U.S. Where it will make a lot more money and also Deontay Wilder is an American heavyweight champion. So he at least deserves a modicum of respect on just that fact alone.

Moreover lastly, Eddie Hearn said that Anthony Joshua is a free agent. He is not contractually obligated to DAZN. So he can fight on Showtime if he wants to.

wilder can't learn how to box now, he should stick to what got him to the top,if it ain't broke don't fix it

[Adamsc151]

Well he does need a walking heavy-bag to practice boxing against. The best skill he can learn for Breazeale is how to avoid/disengage from clinches.

It's been confirmed that this fight will be shown on Sky in the UK.

Garcia Vs Granados will be shown on ITV4 over here.

Thanks bro. I didn't mean to air that stuff out on a boxing forum but it just came out. Discussing boxing with you guys certainly helps!

We'll be here to talk BS about this and that fighter till the cows come home, my friend.

[Laligalaliga]

We shall see on June 1st what Joshua is made of. Miller will surprise!

let's wait and see.
Am sure my prediction is 99% KO in favor of AJ.

Everytime Wilder steps into the ring I always feel it's a 50/50 fight no matter who he fights lol.

why do you guys try so hard to continue to reuse illogical arguments that have been shot down multiples times? what exactly are you gaining from this? it's confusing because you as a fan will definitely be losing at least $60 - $90 from it going to PPV. the whole point of dazn is the guaranteed money, regardless of subscriber count. trying to muddy the waters or twist the argument away from this basic point is just clownish.

i suppose we'll see what the ratings are on may 18/19.

AJ will probably get the KO, but i would't sleep on miller. AJ is too professional for that though. he'll come with a solid plan.
