    Who even cares about Joshua or Wilder anymore when Allen v Browne is only a month away?

    He's turning down $20 mill by not fighting Breazeale on DAZN that's more than all his other purses combined, unless he's about to sign a bigger deal that will offer him more than $20 mill for the Breazeale fight then it's a clear duck.

    Showtime's entire budget the year before was $60 mill can't see them suddenly throwing cash at this, unless FOX has decided it has to up it's game vs ESPN and DAZN and spend crazy money, or perhaps ESPN has decided to up it's offer to out bid DAZN.

    It’s about time. For the first decade of his career he was playing Guess Who.

    He will make 100$ mil just fighting Breazeale alone.
    10 million PPV buys on FOX.

    Good business decision.

    it basically was official with Finkels own statements that he gave after the Skipper meeting .I actually told someone this would happen about an hour ago , after I actually read them. Had I initially took the time to do so before I could have told all his cheerleader fans better calm down he's going to make more idiotic decisions and expose anyone supporting him. Lol

    If the figures are to be believed then DAZN just garaunteed him the money equivalent of a 500,000 PPV vs Breazeale and 1.5m PPV vs AJ twice when factoring network cuts. There really is no excuse for this plain ducking. The guys a Moron for letting himself be milked for Finkels pension pot and Haymons empire before it crumbles.

    The big issue now is that if Showtime or Fox want the AJ fight they will need to pay AJ a minimum of $60m guaranteed twice as that’s atleast what he was probably going to get on DAZN. Fight will never happen and the quicker wilder gets knocked out the better

    So it seems Wilder's fear of Anthony Joshua is greater than his desire to make lots of money.

    Hopefully Breazeale can do it. Im trying to find EVERY angle on that breakdown but cant get him past 40% chance of the upset . I wont lie in my own breakdowns but hopefully Breazeale can come in at 250/255 and its THEN a legit 50/50 .

    When Wilder is broke in 10 yrs he's going to regret this.

    I never want to hear from this clown or his fanboys ever again. **** this fraud and **** his stupid fans who support holding the division hostage because they're all shook. Biggest coward in boxing history. Point blank period
