The $120 million was the second offer from DAZN. The offer was for a fight against Breazelle for $20 million, a fight against another opponent for another $20 million, and two fights against AJ at $40 million each. What most fail to understand is, that those fights were all flat fees. Which means AJ was free and clear to bank all the money from PPV in the UK, as well as the streaming services in areas that DAZN and Sky sports doesnt cover, while Wilder would only get $40 million.
As far as previous negotiations, I always felt that the fight would have gotten made on a 55-45 split. At the end of the day, all of us who actually understand the ins and outs of boxing and the business side, knew that the longer this whent, the closer Wilder would get to 50-50, and by the same token, the larger the pie to split.
