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

[Real King Kong]

I'd agree with Ellerbe, if it was a long term deal and wilder proved he could make anywhere close to that. if he took the 3 fight option for 100ml, he'd be pretty well done with dazn...has he made 100mil in the meantime?

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)

U hating so hard that you telling lies.... Smh

[KillaMane26]

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

Thats pure B.S..... Dont hate on the man so bad that you have to spin everything negative. How can that be true when AJ vs Wilder became one of the only buzzes for a super-fight in boxing????

The only people who criticised and continue to criticise wilder for not taking that deal are militant nationalist brits who believe Eddie Hearn should be in control of big time boxing in the USA. These militants want to see PBC fall, they want to see haymon out of business, they see PBC as a threat to some sort of “British domination” of the sport with Eddie Hearn and dazn execs at the helm. They believe Hearn is ENTITLED to have all the say in wilder’s career as if he were some sort of plantation overseer or the “massa” himself. These people are angry that wilder had lasted and angry that Joshua has already been knocked out. These people are absolutely obsessed with Wilder being controlled by Hearn, OBSESSED....and utterly blinded by their vitriolic nationalism.

'bit nuts.

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.

AJ aint signed to DAZN hes signed to Matchroom who have an exlusive deal with Sky. Matchroom has a deal in place with DAZN for all their sports to be shown including boxing so although AJ appears on DAZN he isnt directly signed to them.

Wilder is the only honest one out of the top HWs. Joshua is a two-faced marketing machine. Fury's every other sentence is a lie.

[nick_viking]

It’s a gamble isn’t it. Looks like a great decision, as long as Wilder doesn’t get KO’d in his next couple of fights...

[BigStomps]

He only would of saw 120 million if he fought Joshua... being as though Joshua is rematching his lost and contract was only a 4 fight deal safe to say he made right decision let’s not also forget dazn significantly decreases your pay if you not fighting the guys they outline you to in they contracts, we have saw pay decreases for triple G and canelo

Send a link where Canelo and Triple g have taken a pay decrease???

Say's the lame who's always hating on Eddie Hearn and wishes Eddie would fail...... 😄😆

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”

This clown is definitely Jason Shaw.
Always deepthroating Al Haymon and bragging about Al's Harvard degree... 😆😂
