Wilder threw away $120 million in easy money

So he would have gotten Joshua still even if Joshua lost to Ruiz? Really? Joshua I'm sure had a rematch clause with Miller. You wouldn't make Wilder vs Joshua if Joshua would have just gotten beat by Ruiz.
I mean I know Hearn said Joshua vs Wilder would have still happened if Wilder lost to Breazeale, but don't think the opposite would hold true. Why? Wilder vs Breazeale was a mandatory fight while Joshua vs Miller was a voluntary defense.
Wilder I'm sure would have still gotten paid well in other fights, just not sure he would have gotten Joshua after the Ruiz stoppage loss.Comment

Doesn't mean he wouldn't have gotten 20M per fight type of deals or something similar but 100M without Joshua? Seems a bit suspect.Comment

and everyone talking about what wilder lost? hes gonna make big money for ortiz and fury. he and joshua lost because joshua was gonna make crazy money for a wilder fight.
none of this sh-- matters though. here are the facts today, joshua is no longer the man at hw or anything close to it. dont be surprised if the ibf strips ruiz for taking the rematch and fury ends up fighting pulev. and then fury and wilder is a unification. the pendulum has completely swung. thats the news today.Comment

Joshua threw away $50M.
And who says Wilder threw anything away. Wilder didn't lose, Joshua did. I won't be surprised if DAZN offers Wilder another deal in the future thats similar to the one he didn't accept.Comment

I have a hard time believing DAZN still offers him 40M against a non-Joshua opponent. Skipper is a smart man and would have protected his company from offering a deal like that.

of course they woulda put in a clause in joshua lost. and both sides would have agreed to it because it makes sense. everything changes with a joshua lost.

The whole thing about the contract was 20M for Breazeale and 20M for a separate fight after the Joshua fights. Only time 40M was mentioned it was for the Joshua fights. It just makes no sense to me that Wilder would still have gotten 40M against say Miller or Ruiz.Comment

It's okay, I don't think Wilder was signing a three or four fight deal with DAZN anyways. But if both win their next two fights, the fight will be huge once again and DAZN will offer big bucks for the fight once again.

not to mention, if the ibf strips ruiz, which is likely, fury is fighting for that belt in the fall. and then him and wilder is a unification rematch. boom.
the real loser is anthony joshua. complete fail in his us debut. lost all leverage at the negotiating table.
btw, it seems there isnt an iron clad rematch clause. if there is one, u may see it in the US. again.Comment
