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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Deontay Wilder will be making his FOX pay-per-view debut Saturday against Luis Ortiz, but it almost never came to be. In March, DAZN offered Wilder $100 million for a three-fight package, including two fights with Anthony Joshua. The WBC heavyweight champion eventually declined the nascent OTT streaming platform's payday, and went on to fight Dominic Breazeale on longtime broadcast partner Showtime, destroying Breazeale in one round.

It appears even the dazn execs said they were wrong according to this article and the articles of the past in which the apologies were first mentioned. Well done to wilder and his team Haymon and Finkle. And good for dazn admitting they were wrong and needed to build relationships....very different tone than a particular British individual used when he first came to the USA....

It certainly does sound like some fences are being mended.

It would not suck to have any fighter be able to show up on any platform that gave him the best financial option

the british "individual, who shall remain nameless, thought he could go around to various boxing sites and proclaim he was making these huge offers to guys to come over....coming to find out the guys he was making offers to were making more money than their reported purses...lol

Only in boxing could someone backed by that kind of money attempt to start a venture in a foreign market and not have any idea how to operate in that market....if this was any other business this would have never happened
