Wilder in talks with DAZN, meeting John Skipper next week

[that g]

Lol all of a sudden everyone loves dazn?
Haha.
And then people here trying to ignore the fact that wilder had to go behind Shelley finkel and al Haymon’s back?

FYI, Eddie Hearn and Lou dibella orchestrated this. Eddie tried to setup a meet between wilders people and skipper, but of course they didn’t show up. Typical. So wilder uses whatever brain cells he has left to work with Lou to bypass haymon and finkel.
Let’s not try to start twisting facts now.
There’s clearly turbulence in the Wilder camp.

DAZN having to come in and make all these deals directly with fighters and promoters because Hearn couldn't get the guys to sign with him. So much for exclusive deal and if you want to get on DAZN you have to sign with Matchroom and sign with hearn. Canelo got his own deal, Golden Boy got their own deal. GGG has got his own deal for himself and 2 fights a year starting next year for his own promotion. Deals directly with DAZN not under Matchroom. Top Rank forcing Wilder to sign with Top Rank or sign co-promotional deals.

If Wilder can do what Canelo, Golden Boy and GGG did and get his own deal directly with DAZN meaning he can still use his own promoters for his fights he should jump on that ASAP.

You don't have to sign with Matchroom, that has been made known for a while now. Some uneducated fans still think you have to. DAZN is a platform for any promoter that wants to showcase their talents.

Deontay Wilder should be fighting live on FOX every fight. Not on PPV, not on a subscription cable channel, and not on a subscription streaming service.

The little bit of eyeballs that see him now will disappear if he moves to DAZN.

I understand though, money talks.

Just watch the spin these imbeciles are going to be doing from Youtube to boxingscene.

Should Breazeal win all this isn't going to end well at all, Wilder Should have took the Joshua fight last year and signed a Dazn contract then.His idiot supporters told him to ignore them and forget them .

[KTFOKING]

And why wouldn't people love DAZN if they start to get more quality fighters and are able to make the biggest fights? That's exactly what a boxing fan should root for.

John Skipper is a deal maker and the ultimate closer. No surprise once he started getting more involved that DAZN took off. He's going to offer Wilder a deal that's going to be extremely difficult for him to turn down. Interested to see what happens here.

So the five parties will be Haymon/Skipper/Finkel/Dibella/Wilder? Why leave out Jay Deas???? Kidding, but if Wilder ends up going to DAZN, then that ESPN deal going to be looking awfully shaky for Fury...I mean not for him, but the other way around. Can't even sell Wilder or Joshua coming to ESPN when they can say you come to us.

Haymon won’t have much say. You can already see that if wilder goes to DAZN.

The matches are pretty much already made. Just finkel to negotiate the paydays. Haymon will mostly just collect his percentage and wait patiently for the contract to expire and bring wilder back to pbc. No different than what he hoped to do with Danny Jacobs but at the end of the day as o oh an adviser his power is limited.

FOX isn't willing to pay. Showtime isn't either which is why they forcing his next fight with Breazale on PPV to help give him a raise and even with PPV he likely making half of what ESPN and DAZN offering him guaranteed. In a perfect world all these fighters would be fighting on FOX but they don't have the budget for these fight. Otherwise Spence/Garcia would be on FOX instead of FOX PPV. But now even non big fights like Wilder/Breazale have to go to Showtime PPV because Showtime and FOX refuse to pay Wilder. That's a tough pill to swallow if you Wilder you see guys in your own division like Joshua and Fury getting big paychecks. Sees GGG sign with DAZN, sees Canelo sign with DAZN. Showtime or FOX ain't handing him a big multi-fight contract and can't deliver him the big fights he wants. DAZN willing to pay him and give him a pathway to his biggest fight possible with Joshua.

Oh shiiit. Get it done Lou! Showtime is on the ropes right now, they could be closer than we think to joining HBO in the graveyard.
