Comments Thread For: Wilder Explains Why He Finalized Ortiz, Passed on Joshua

[Robbie Barrett]

20 for Brezeale, 15 or 20 for the next three fights. 50 or more for fighting Joshua once. Add it up: 130 or so and a free agent!

Hahahahah....you are another mofo clown on this site. You are damn funny in your fantasy world.

You know what's even funnier. His fantasy numbers average less money per fight than DAZN offered and the DAZN money was guaranteed. So even with his fantasy numbers Wilder made a bad decision.

[James Hunt]

If he keeps winning he will make more than 100 mil. What do you not understand? Breazeale, Ortiz, Kownacki, a Fury rematch, and then Joshua adds up to more than 100 mil! Probably 150 mil or more. He will get 50 mil alone for a Joshua fight next year!

This year it's too soon but last year it was exactly the right time, right?

Bad decision? Let's see what he get's when Joshua finally does get in the ring with him. He may get 75 mil or more to knock The overhyped brit out cold. We have no idea what the numbers can be. Why do you think Hearn offered what he offered.

[Alan Smithee]

No he won't. You're in fantasy land.

No one has any realistic idea how much that a Wilder/Joshua fight can generate. If Hearn offered Wilder 40mil how much do you think Joshua was getting. Next year the fight may total 150 mil in prize money. Who knows?

He got less than 1 mil views on regular Showtime, he isn't a big draw. Beating Joshua would go a long way to making him one, but of course he would actually have to believe he would win for that to work.

He’s already lost 5m for not fighting Whyte

10m for not fighting Breazeale

He fought his next fights for less

It’s a ****** move, pbc have taken advantage of his lack of intelligence and the fact you cannot see that, tells me everything I need to know about you

You have thrown fake fantasy numbers around to convince yourself

Even if he gets 50m for Joshua

He’s still lost at least 15m from rejecting Hearn and dazn, I understand him ducking Whyte as he is keeping his belt hostage but rejecting dazn with 20m for his last fight is ******.

Only wilder fans would back such a shameless duck, they are happy wilder is safe from Joshua

Look at Wilders numbers, Joshua isn't a big draw in the US either.

Anybody can come up with unrealistic numbers like you. It'll make 5 billion.

Hearn didn't make the offer, DAZN did. DAZN was willing to overpay because they're just starting out and want to build subs.

"you’ll still watch the Ortiz fight, no matter what" -Wilder


this is his strategy and belief however wrong it is. he thinks he has some huge fanbase who will watch him no matter who he fights cept the numbers dont match his words

Did he really say that?

"who else is fighting Ortiz? "

No-one else was allowed to. He was being saved for Wilder!

Wow did he came up with that too? Maybe the pressure is building up slowly on him. At least some americans are questioning him.

[ShoulderRoll]

At this point Wilder doesn't trust anything that Anthony Joshua or his team say.

Can you blame him?
