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

[Monzon99]

Aj can’t take a punch to save his life, have no head movement and comes in fights very robotic.....what gives you the assumption wilder wouldn’t of connected on aj like he has done to every fighter he has fought?

Klitschko hits harder than Wilder.

Wilder and his team know they can't beat AJ, that's why the ducked $120m for about $5m for the recent fake fraud defenses vs Haymon hired patsies.

If they had real confidence they would have challenged Joshua for the 4 fight $120m deal (two vs AJ and two vs any hired patsy)

yeah there is no ceiling for wilder-ortiz ppvs! its going to do millions!!!

Can’t see how turning down $100m for 3 fights in your mid 30’s is the best idea, especially when you’re not making anywhere near that much.

Wilder’s team don’t always do what’s best for their fighters, they do what’s best for themselves. I understand it’s business, but your job is to make money for your fighter.

Tank got offered $5m for one fight on DAZN, no strings attached deal and his team turned it down basically. I bet he’s made nowhere near $5m for a fight yet.

They’re not always looking out for their fighters, they have other interests in mind such as their own network deals and promotional companies, so they aren’t going to let their better fighters go on a rival network affiliated with rival promoters, but at the end of the day it’s the fighter that’s losing out.

They can’t keep it up forever if they can’t compete with DAZN financially. The biggest earners are at DAZN now, Canelo, GGG, AJ etc.. eventually more fighters will want to go there when they realise DAZN is there to stay and still offering big money. Fighters were apprehensive at first, but now they’re realising it’s where to go to make money. Guys like Haney making $1m for undercard fights.

Let’s be honest, if you told any DAZN doubters that Canelo and GGG would be on there within their first year, they would’ve laughed at you. DAZN is going to continue to take over when the rest can’t compete.

The long term plan is to rig Wilder to 50-0 which they will do by ducking AJ, Usyk, Whyte, Povetkin, Pulev, etc. Haymon will rig Wilder to 50-0 with some help from Sulaiman. Then at 50-0 they think he will be a superstar generating about $100m per fight. But they won't get there and will eventually have to sacrifice the fraud to Joshua.

Ellerbe said Wilder rejuvenated the Heavyweight division ? Ha

It was AJ with his win over Klitschko that got people interested in it again, Wilder did nothing really since being champion to turn heads . No one of any education thinks turning down 100 million deals is good when you aren't a PPV draw, in what reality ? Ha

Klinchko don’t hit harder than wilder lol

Wilder vs Logan Paul will easily bag him a bazillion dollars.

Ellerbe and Haymon are feeling bullish because Floyd just threw his name in the hat to fight KSI

DAZN subscription is worth $1.05 per year or, about .09 per month!Those numbers ain't lying...

The deal never guaranteed fights with AJ. Aj doesn't even have belts anymore.
