    What is this obsession with being your own boss? Everyone can’t run a company or host events or put them together.. folks act like you just show up to a fight as your own boss. He’s not taking any risks on money; he knows what he is getting paid no matter how bad the buys and gate is.

Who wouldn’t listen to Al Haymon. He’s always done right by Wilder to this point. All he has to do is beat Fury and their right back where they were 18 months ago. A big fight with Joshua staring them right in the face.
      huh? locked into a 3 fight deal? OH NO! how is he capitalizing on not fighting joshua? by making less money? yes he should have taken the deal, become a free agent, and signed an even bigger deal next time. instead he complained about how he would be locked into a deal, took a worse deal, and made less money. that showed um!

      yeah but the problem is now we see his drawing power is very limited. if the fury rematch flops which is most likely will, why would anyone want to offer wilder such huge money again? the 100 million was based on potential drawing power. now that we see his drawing power is limited its much more of a gamble to overpay a guy when you know he's not a big star

        but he makes more money there so why would he do that? he's not wilder. he went to wherever paid him the most. wilder did the opposite. why dont you tell wilder to drop pbc and sign with dazn? wouldn't that be the easiest solution? that way both guys can make more money and the fight can happen. not sure why you want to do some convoluted way where they both have to sacrifice money and fight on a flop ppv.

          It's because of Eddie Hearn's involvement in the promotion. Deontay Wilder has lost absolutely all of his trust in the man period. They can do it for at least two fights over at the PBC. Joshua can sign with the PBC for at least two fights so the fans can get the fight that we've all been waiting for for several years now.

            Not many fighters out there is putting up better numbers than him. Since Floyd v Manny PPV numbers have been down across the board. And you act like Wilder is on welfare or something. He’s already made more money than he could’ve ever hoped for. And like I said earlier all he has to do is beat Fury and they are right back where they were 18 months ago.

                    Joshua gets it cos he makes it rain, Wilder can't fill a town hall.
