DAZN offered Wilder $20 million for a Breazeale fight and $80 million for two Joshua fights, if Joshua won his interim fight.
Wilder turned down fighting Breazeale on DAZN and told DAZN he'd wait to see if Joshua won his interim fight, before negotiating a Joshua fight.
Joshua lost his interim fight.
So no, Wilder didn't turn down $100 million because the $100 million was contingent on Joshua winning, which he didn't.
Had Joshua won, and DAZN then re-offered $80 million, or even more, for Wilder to fight him twice, you could second guess Wilder if he turned it down.
But it makes no sense to second guess Wilder for turning DAZN's offer when Joshua didn't end up winning anyway.
