    The dazn offer was made so he would fight aj and the ESPN offer was on the basis of a fury fight if I remember correctly.

      Yeah he is. Because of the offer dazn made him so they could have the aj fight which is why I said it’s not off his own back. I’m happy to see any black man get paid but I’m not going to look past the blatantly obvious reasons.

        Wilder deserves a 50/50 split because Joshua cannot make anywhere near the money that he can earn here in the United States. Besides, Wilder is a draw; Because he is a champion and an American who is fighting on his home soil. Which is why all the U.K Fighters are now fighting in the U.S. as opposed to Great Britain.

          Why are these guys offering him 4 and 5 fight deals?

            I’m not privy to the ESPN offer but dazn was a 3 fight deal. Breazle (which had to happen next) and two aj fights. I don’t know if wilder even met with ESPN but he definitely did with dazn and it was an offer the had to consider. Off the back of that meeting showtime knew they couldn’t continue to pay him 2-3 mil per fight. But go off tell me dazn would’ve offered wilder 100+ mil anyway even without an aj fight.

              Lmao what? And wilder can’t mske anywhere near the money aj does in the U.K. in fact he made fury and wilders combined purse against povetkin deep down you know damn well they aren’t even in the same league when it comes to earnings but wilder is doing an excellent job making people believe he is.

                  Wow more and more **** . At least AJ keeps quiet ..... his promoter on the other hand lol . Iam over all of this . This is a hypocritical statement and wilder is looking like he wants to cash out . iam Not sure why he didn’t take the dazn deal . He’s not getting fury without espn and without Joshua he will never make close to 120 mill in 4 fights . What’s he gonna do fight the breazeales of the world until one of these young guns is his mandatory and get blasted out by Dubois or ajagba or one of these young guns when he is 36 for peanuts ?? He should take the AJ fight while there is the money on the table . His only other option is go for fury if he wants money and iam not so sure he can win that fight . I mean I know he can , but iam not sure he will once fury has a few more fights under his belt and is in better shape etc . I think this is a very poor move by wilders handlers . It will take him 10 fights to make what he was offered by dazn or more . And by then he will be older and some of these young killers are going to be ready . It just doesn’t add up . I think he’s hoping Joshua cares about his legacy more than him and folds soon and signs . But they are running out of opponents . I really hope wilder is just posturing til later this yeAr or early next and signs for 40% . Once the fight has “marinaded” to its full potential ( if that’s possible I think the time is now ). If they sign the fight next I wouldn’t hate on it as a business move he would get more than ever but he’s not gonna up his exposure or be able to prove his viewership rAtings with another big Ppv fight that doesn’t exist at the moment . It’s Joshua or fury or bust . Why can’t one of the sanctioning bodies step in and make one of these guys each other’s mandatories ( Joshua or wilder ) maybe that will help the cause .

                    Anthony unknown in America Joshua is getting paid more for his 1st fight in america than deontay wilder has been paid in all his 40plus fights put together.

                      Wilder is the greedy one. Just take 60/40 you deserve or shut up. He does not have all this influence and he doesn't really want the fight. AJ doesn't need him. He will make more money fighting Miller in the USA than Wilder will make for his title defense. Wilder used to say how badly he wanted to be the unified champion and if he believed he would win he could take the smaller end of the money and then make much more money if he won. 60/40 in AJ's favor is fair. AJ has most of the belts and is the A side and the proven money maker. Wilder talks way too much and way too fast and he talks a lot of BS.
