Wilder in talks with DAZN, meeting John Skipper next week

[Bmore18]

LOL, also Wilder is being petty not wanting Hearn involved here. Wants a direct face to face with Skipper instead. Fair play, but the man really does hate Hearn, huh?

Isnt that what GGG just did? Smart move getting their own direct deals with DAZN leadership

Of course its going to happen at the end of the year, this is it. I admire you showing your face aswell, most of the PBC's forum hierarchy are dodging. You must be a boxing fan

Why thanks, that was awfully nice of you to say? Yes, I just so happen to be a true boxing fan

[lolpz]

he wouldn’t be bringing the titles back. It would be a multi year deal.

It would shut Showtime out of the heavyweight business. But more importantly open the door for Charlo Irtiz Breazeale to go to DAZN too. Its the ripple effect that would really damage pbc.

Not really, that would just mean that PBC would spread to DAZN as well. Another platform for them, that is all. As long as the money is there, no problem if this is what it comes to.

This is why PBC is so powerful, they have the majority of fighters, with the most options as well. Al Haymon really took over boxing subtly, even if it isn't visible to the naked eye.

This Wilder thing does hurt PBC somewhat, but they also still have plenty of elite and ppv worthy fights in other divisions.

Look at welterweight for example. Plenty of elite match ups in other divisions to make up for those losses. Also, they can focus on these divisions rather then spreading themselves too thin.

But I will reiterate, losing Wilder would be somewhat of a blow. If he can win those titles and bring them back to Showtime though while increasing his profile, he'll force guys to come to him. It's a monetary thing and calculated risk.

It would be a blow but Wilder wants the AJ fight. Fans want the AJ fight. EVERYONE wants the AJ fight. If this is the only way to make it happen, well then..

Wilder fans/PBC fans/Showtime fans/DAZN haters are going to have as big a meltdown as Espinoza does if true!

[champion4ever]

I would go to DAZN just out of spite for how dirty Fury did him. Getting his own deal with DAZN landing a even bigger fight with Joshua and leaving Fury stuck on ESPN who has none of the top heavyweights or belts would be the ultimate to Fury, Arum and Warren

and with no title belts

[sicko]

Props to DAZN they listening to the Fans Suggestion that John Skipper needs to step in something I posted last week. John Skipper knows Al Haymon, he was in charge at ESPN when PBC was on DAZN so if he talks with Haymon and Finkle, something will get done!

PBC on DAZN is probably something that will happen eventually allowing Wilder and Jemall Charlo to go over, that would be a great investment for DAZN US especially

[killakali]

You are absolutely right. I bet you Wilder was feeling slighted in not being fully compensated for his worth and underappreciated. So he probably told Haymon that if he don't start matching similar offers as DAZN or ESPN or at the very least sign him to multi-fight multi-$million deal then he was bolting.

It didn’t take wilder long to find out he had been under paid for years.

His main probe is if he stays after he takes care of brezeale they have nothing for him.

Espn can give him 2 more fury fights, Whyte for 1-2 fights and maybe Parker. Pulev is there and rivas too for lower end options.

DAZN has 2-3 AJ fights plus Usyk and miller for 1-2 fights each.

All they have at pbc is a mid level fight in Breazeale and then can build to a Kownacki fight. Maybe an Ortiz rematch who looked bad in his last fight. That’s it. What Andy ruiz lol.

The money fights are at DAZN and espn

I mean yeah, but Hearn was still in some of those meetings.

This is Wilder going straight to the head honcho in John Skipper and wanting Hearn out of any discussions.

This is more so similar to the Canelo deal than the GGG deal.

Wilder's problem has never been the network its been the desire of other fighters to fight him. He needs hard guarantees of PRECISE NAMES he gets on ESPN or DAZN or he'll be left out in the cold. He'll get leftovers and bums unless he signs up for actual fights versus just number of fights..
