    Now in hindsight, that was real bright, wasn't it?



    Wilder said... he did not want to sign with a party who were not willing to be honest

    not sure if hindsight changes that... are DAZN honest now... ?

      They weren't dishonest they didn't say anything that was untrue, they didn't disclose AJ's purse and kept it confidential.

      Wilder also said he's holding out as its a 200 mil fight like May Pac so he'll get more in the future.

          Pacquiao has alot more wealth then people know.
          I know your lying. Cause I own land in other countries, and the State you live in has zero say on the value of said land.

            How much will he earn from from his 3 fights with Fury, assuming the 3rd takes place? Somewhere between $25million and $35million, I would guess.

            He could have got $80million - guaranteed, win lose or draw - for 2 fights with AJ on DAZN.

            "Tied to DAZN" is a meaningless phrase. DAZN would have had exclusive rights to stream his 2 fights with AJ in the territories they operated in back then, that's all it amounted to.

              Wilder fans will always find a way to make the offer of 120 million plus unification a bad thing. but we all know it wasn't. Look at Wilder now. He made a fraction of that money and he has no belts and a dying fan base. After he loses to Fury again, he will not make over a million for any of the rest of his fights. Even if he lost to AJ, he would have had 120 million plus he would have fought in two soccer stadium fights in the UK, broken PPV records and could retire with more money than he knew what to do with. Instead, he made up every excuse possible like loyalty and Showtime dropped him within the next year hahahahhaa. He HAS to be kicking himself right now

                Wilder said if they don't want to be honest, there is no decision to make
                Bullshit.

                AJ doesn't have a contract with DAZN, so they don't pay him anything. DAZN pays Eddie Hearn and Eddie pays AJ in accordance with the confidential contract they have with each other.

                Finkel and Wilder refused to be part of any deal involving Hearn and only agreed to meet with John Skipper if Eddie was excluded from the meeting. They make a stipulation like that, then expect Skipper to talk to them about Eddie's business?

                Hearn has said that he believes the only reason Haymon and Finkel met with Skipper was to fish for information about how much Eddie was paying AJ. Do you enjoy being led around by the nose by conmen like those two?

                  Both fights with Wilder would have taken place in the US. But even going down in the early hours of the morning, they probably would have broken the UK PPV record.

                    You mean Wilder said, "Oh most definitely ... whatever Al and Shelley say ..."

                      Don't worry. He's not applying for or standing in the unemployment line. He has made many more $Millions in his career than you will ever dream.
