Thanks Eddie

That reply is no better than a white flag. What is it about facts that stumps and shuts down you Wilder fan girls? You talk talk talk until its time to get the facts out and then you get all flaky and put dumb **** like "thanks Eddie"

Sorry, did not know you were present at negotiations.

Good business for the PBC and not the fighter, It's an Al Haymon con with a definable patterned pyramid type ponzi scheme. Like Bernnie Madoff it requires the (mark) fighter's blind trust and disbelief in reality.

Wilder has no contract with showtime and it was a two fight deal, 1st with *beatable* Breazeale for 20 mil and then AJ for 100mil. Lastly, Wilder is trying like crazy to get PPV $$$ and get away from the limited $ that cable can offer.

DAZN offered Wilder his choice of a three-fight deal worth $100 million or a four-fight deal worth $120 million that would include a pair of $40 million paydays to fight Anthony Joshua and a rematch.


Wilder and his team, managers Shelly Finkel and PBC founder Al Haymon, decided to ride with Showtime.

Finkel told ESPN they are discussing a three-fight deal with Showtime.

"I've had a long relationship with Showtime. I consider these guys like family to me. We come a long way," - Wilder

Wilder flipped the script. Joshua is desperate now and needs a big fight. Not so fun when the rabbit's got the gun huh?

I had DAZN since the announcement that the WBSS would be on there .
Last week I missed a payment and my subscription was cancelled . Along with my $9.99 payment . I tried to pay the next day and was told I gotta pay $19.99 a month now.
I won't subscribe again until the WBSS finals and it'll only be on the months they got something that interests me.

I'm hitting the cancel button after the GGG fight.

Wilder is happy with his WBC belt and happy with who he is in Alabama. Why risk losing all of that now when you can spend another year building the AJ fight and walk away with the jackpot.

i dont think theres anymore buiding the fight to be honest, wilder isnt going to get bigger by beating on breazele ortiz and kownacki, only damaging his rep and lets not forget his chances.
the problem with wilder allowing himself to be used in haymons game is that joshua is younger with better options going forward, the usual stalling out of a european fighter isn't going to work here. yes miller fell through, but usyk and whyte are bigger fights than whatever fury and wilder do unless they face eachother again.

I seriously think this fight won’t won’t happen because one of them will get KTFO.

when will these fighters realize just because Floyd and manny who were juggernauts who fought down the line after one lost/got KTFO it still had big demand when they fight that won’t be the case with them.
