PBC won't help DAZN hurt their business

[Curt Henning]

Yes, the promoters act in their best interest, not necessarily the best interest of the fighter. Wilder could have been 100+ million up and the undisputed champion by now...it was blocked by those who want to continue making money off his back.

and wilder would have fought breazeale and aj would have fought ruiz twice......they still wouldnt have fought

and wilder made real good money in his last two fights.....and will make good money for the fury fight(s)...if he comes away with a win hell make even more money than he would have...its called a gamble...some guys are willing to take them...unlike AJ the 3 times wilder actually agreed to/tried to fight him in earnest

[Mammoth]

Yeah, it only makes sense.

[_Rexy_]

You've lost your ****ing mind, or maybe it wasnt there in the first place.

Let me tell you something right...and you're not gonna like it, but its hopefully gonna be like ripping off a band aid for you. DAZN will be a success, Eddie Hearn will become (if not already) the best promoter in boxing. I wouldnt be surprised if PBC ends up at DAZN tucked tail in a few years. They are already having huge issues sustaining ppv in the face of biggest names in boxing (-pacquiao) fighting behind a much lower paywall. There regular fox shows are in large doing underwhelming numbers, It's time to accept reality rather than trying to fight it with every bone in your body.

Yeah, Hearn is running boxing in North America with his youtube fights...

Why only take the narrow, one sided view? Yes he could be the champ. That stated, no promoter that is a professional and doing their job as required would put their fighter in such a an untenable situation as Wilder fighting on DAZN against AJ if the object is winning and becoming undisputed champion.

A lot of posters, especially the Brits, want Wilder (and more to the point Haymon and PBC) to lose so they keep focusing on "taking the $100 million" because they know in doing so Wilder reduces his chances of winning if the fight doesn't end in KO/TKO.

same goes for those saying aj should have accepted the alleged 50mil offer.

at the time of the offer, nobody could have predicted that. he would still have been making more money regardless, and would most likely be fighting aj next. wilder's team blocked the fight...joshua's loss giving you some sense of justification after the fact, doesn't change it.

[DaNeutral.]

PBC gettting their fighters to duck everybody. And fans are moaning about it? Crazy stuff. LOL you ******s are in real panic mode. The truth about the working practices of master Al and the PBC are all coming out now, deceit and BS is hard to keep covered up in this day and age and "us moaning fans" been saying they been playing dodgy games all along and now we getting it confirmed. And you defenders of this dog sheet dont know which way to turn.

[leeroy84]

I think out of Wilder, his team, his promoters, a lot his fans... there's really only Wilder himself who wants the Joshua fight.

Wilder has a huge chance of success against Joshua, the money is there and true fans of the sport want to see it. Dibella was trying to make the biggest fight in boxing.

"This is not dancing with the stars. So I don't need to see some undefeated world class fighter, fight a no chance-er .I don't care how much bottle the opponent has. If the opponent walks in with no reasonable chance other than a profound injury to the a side to win, (then) why are we being forced to watch that?? and why do people think that's gonna make us spend our money???"

Nicely said Lou.

Yep we can all finally agree, Wilder was a puppet that was used to the PBC. That was clear as day with what Skipper said and what Lou said. Instead of this being about the boxer “Wilder” it became about PBC own business. So the puppet was Wilder, the sad thing here is he would not fight forever, whoever is using these boxers as a puppet would jump onto the next young boxer and then the trend would continue. Only an educated boxer like Mikey Garcia would be able to actually sit down and cut his own deal, the uneducated ones would still need their masters to use them as the puppet that they are.... SMH

[PRchamp]

Wilder is nothing but a big ole’ puppet. PBC fighter turn in their balls and get on their knees to please Daddy Haymon.

Haymon has literally watered down the sport of boxing. Part time fighters who get thrown a bone or 2 paydays to fight tune ups and when they finally decide to challenge themselves it’s PPV

by no means is Spence-Garcia or Pacquiao-Garcia PPV material for example

1) wilder claimed to be self-promoted. al haymon is only his advisor. he doesnt have an exclusive contract with any broadcaster.
2) let's be honest, the lgbt african hebrew faeries were bragging when schaeffer's WBSS signed with Dazn, they claimed eddie was being replaced. then they did the same with oscar.
Then they convinced wilder that he can literally get his own broadcasting deal with dazn that has nothing to do with eddie hearn. Wilder himself talked about this 'i dont haff to signeded with eddie hurns'
the point is wilder expected a fury-espn esque type contract..and instead dazn told him 'we dont want to sign sign you, we just want to sign for you for the Joshua fights'
so lou dibella was sacked.
