Comments Thread For: Wilder Declined DAZN's $100M Deal Because of Dishonesty

I think he’ll turnout fine. He’s at about 30 mil min so far, two fights in. He’s not behind the DAZN curtain so he’s getting tons of exposure. He’s gotta make 45 mil per fight in his next two fights in order to match the DAZN deal he declined. A rematch with Fury, and a fight with either Ruiz or Joshua might get him there. The guy is on fire right now, and w PPV the sky is the limit.

Can't see him getting there in the next 2 fights but he's certainly on the up and up

Don't think he could have asked for Hatton. He wasn't with top rank

he did ask for hatton

"Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million."

bob lost floyd over 6 million bucks lol

But Floyd wasn't a ppv star at that point so those guarantees might have been hard for the Bobfather to swallow. Cotto wouldn't have been cheap either

but bob was willing to do 7 each.....6 million over 2 fights is small potatoes if you believe Floyd will be a star....bob didn't believe that's the problem....he believed hed win the fights but not that he would be such a star...which is why bob wanted no part of the Oscar fight too

Fair point
