Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Smartest Move Wilder Made Was Turning Down DAZN

[mabulkhair]

Aside from Sergio Mora, DAZN has the worst commentating team.

[QballLobo]

The money he turned down is one thing. He also turned down the chance to be undisputed, unified heavyweight champion.
He’s asking to get the respect but not willing to take risks to earn it.

[Death_Adder]

yeah wilder "doesn't take risks"

these clowns swore wilder got "embarrassed" and outboxed by fury...yet wilder is the one who tried, in earnest, to make an immediate rematch the world wanted to see.....yet fury ran to TR and espn with arum admitting they were putting the rematch off

nobody wanted to fight Ortiz....AJ only wanted him as a "replacement" after he saw wilder knock him out

dude said hed fight whyte and AJ back to back if hearn promised them both...hearn said "cant do that"

but I guess dude takes no risks in your fantasy world

How could he had been the one to beat Joshua when they both had to take interim fights before facing each other? Wilder beat breazeale and aj lost to Ruiz in his stateside debut that had to happen

Yes, I'm aware of that now. That's why I said he would've still gotten $20mil to fight Breazeale, vs half of what he got.

Bottom line, DAZN pays more than PBC.

yes and he'd be stuck right now without an opponent.

Doubtful. You mean to tell me there are NO opponents for him to fight outside PBC? lol. Get real.

According to this article, Wilder and his team is right since dazn USA is now seeking money from investment sources other then Blavatnik.....as it says in the article, a sign that he is no longer willing to dump hundreds of millions into a money pit mismanaged from the beginning by murkowski, skipper, and doomed by Eddie hearn’s ego and arrogance of late 2018/early 2019....Al Haymon will have the last laugh on Eddie Hearn and PBC will be here long after the current form of dazn has folded. They are simply too far in the red, with no path to the black.....al haymon, the man with the masters in business from HARVARD is proving to be too much for these jokers. Dazn should have gone with haymon and signed a contract with PBC for dates....”they made a mistake....they got it wrong”

after Ortiz 2 wilder will have made 30 mil for his last 3 fights.....

can you name me another active, US, fighter that has made 30 mil in their career....my bet/guess is you cant because there isn't one......

and wilder still has his biggest paydays ahead of him

Can you say how you know Wilder will of earned 30 million from his last 3 fights? And tell us the split. And i dont factor in "Back end Money" that means nothing, anybody can say "well he earnt 750k from this fight but with the back end money he ended up with 45 million."

[Deleted]

I think Forbes says Wilder earned 30M in 2019. 120M from DAZN with contract stipulations that adjust earnings based on specific DAZN's criteria. If you truly believe in yourself, you roll the dice and try to make it on my own as a free man. If boxing is just a job, you take the 120M guaranteed $ and fade away becoming a pawn in the greater game. while focusing on life outside the sport.

[KillaMane26]

Ellerbe talks as if KNOWS Wilder will never lose. Under Haymon control and fixing he won't lose.

And Ellerbe knows Wilder would have lost to Joshua and it would be game over.

At what point do you idiots wake up and realize Wilder is a total complete protected counterfeit fraud hoax pretender? AT WHAT POINT???!!!

Man u have issues... Im curious to see your pov on other boxing topics

[OgTripleOg]

Spoken like a true OG...and the article I posted above alludes to their investor turning off the money
