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

[Real King Kong]

the DAZN lovers/PBC haters will say the DAZN executive chairman doesnt speak english well and thats not what he meant.....i know ive seen them do that somewhere before....

“Dazn lovers/pbc haters” lol...you’re the biggest dweeb on this forum.

Wilder was right. Joshua getting upset rocked the heavyweight division since Joshua was ranked #1 or #2 at that time. The fight lost a ton of value. If Joshua can avenge his defeat then eventually a one fight deal can get worked out in the next year or so for Wilder vs Joshua on DAZN. After the Wilder rematch with Fury.

what nonsense

the " pot "... is the net revenue generated by the event in question

a certain fanbase used to scoff at flat-fee offers

not one of them I hope... ?

LOL if you say so. There needed to be a percentage split of a pot, DAZN were not dealing in any of that. Set fee and they offered to massively overpay wilder to get his signature but he ran off.

If dazn did the deal on how much revenue the fight would of made wilder and joshua would of been offered alot less money.

You think DAZN felt wilder breazeale would of pulled in so much money it was good to offer 20 million? No they were offering to over pay.

if there was even the slightest word of truth in that...

... then why did they refuse to reveal AJ's purse for the fight... ?

you know whats up

Gone are those when fans just want to see the best fight the best, regardless of whatever network airing the fight, you so called "fans"agrue all day about networks like y'all taking a slice of the network money..really pathetic

Good on him, he already had one fight with breazeale, he is having another with Ortiz now and his next one after (If its Fury), he can then judge if turning down 100M dollars for three fights, was a great idea. He would need to make 50M between the breazeale and Ortiz fight, and we all know that is definitely isn't the case just be looking at the economics. So good luck to him for turning that those monies.

This again? Isn't it obvious by now? He couldn't sign because Fox need him for this PBC championship they're looking to set up.

End of story.

Yea those days ended in 2015 when PBC was created and every single thing about them we scrutinized. But that same energy from the media isn't there for DAZN

That's why fight would never have happened with
Joshua imposing his A-side status with this kind of B-side.
The B-side that was protected like a baby that won't be
rushed to fight Kiitschko.
Wilder and Winkel wanted to know how much AJ will be making.
It's not enough that he gets tens and tens of times he typically makes.
Which means Wilder had no clue how much he's worth.
It always has to be in relation to AJ's.
It's like getting hired and can't come up with any figure
you should be getting for the job.
You have to know how much the other guy is making.
