From Finkel in an article written by Rafael on March 19:

I have a very hard time believing they can get a $30M a fight deal equal to the DAZN deal ($120M for 4 fights including 2 Joshua fights) for Breazeale, Kownacki & Ortiz (as often get brought up as Wilder's next 3 opponents). Maybe if Fury is in there as a possible, but not definite, option that would boost it up to $30M per fight it seems less crazy while still a lil crazy lol.

But if they can get ~$30M a fight fair f#cking play to them & respect.

I suspect if it turns out this is true they'll keep the actual numbers & terms as vague as possible while saying its "similar to the DAZN deal" just for max PR value. Not saying it will be up to DAZN's deal or not, but I don't think you want the SM & boxing forum accountants waxing on exact figures all next week by giving them that much info.

It'll be tough giving out actual #s and terms since at least one of the fights will probably be PPV and they are making "projections"

Well this is very good news for Deontay Wilder. No one has been more deserving of a Multi-Million dollar fight deal than the Bronze Bomber; Who has been taking shorts his entire career.

His reward for his loyalty has been long overdue. So say what you will about Al Haymon but he take cares of his fighters. That is why they love and are so loyal to him. Now take that to the bank haters!!!!!

Obviously Id rather AJ and/or Fury2, but those will be entertaining fights

Yes me two but these are Showtime exclusive deals. However, I agree. They are entertaining fights anyway.

I can see how they can convince him that he can get $10m a fight for three safe fights, plus endorsements, celebrity and **** from still being champ, and then take 2 fights with Joshua for much more than previously offered.

It's about the only way you could convince him to stay.

Probably a new line of official "To this day" merchandise is coming out.

Taking shorts? How much do you think he ought to have been paid given the level of his opposition?

He could probably get an endorsement deal with his various lines. Dude has been working that angle well lately.

Get a #BombZquad roach sponsorship.

And I f#cking guarantee you there is a Speak It Believe It Achieve It inspirational book in his future. He might be the boxing Tony Robbins post-his active career.

More than he was earning as a WBC world heavyweight champion with over nine title defenses.
