If Wilder turns down this deal which he is rumoured to it is a blatant duck Hearn and AJ particularly in the US got made to be the villains of this deal and really the truth has outed! Wilder is happy taking fights he can’t get knocked out in
In fairness the were made the villains in the UK too. People said Joshua was perceived as the ducker due to 'pricing himself' out of the fights but he definitely deserves 60-40 wilder on PPV, but now Wilder is ducking him for 100m thats f*cking ridiculous
It didn't take a genius to figure out Wilder never wanted the AJ fight. The remarkable thing is the amount of people who took an email as a legitimate offer of a fight. Just picture Tevin Farmer sending Gervonta Davis a Instagram message offering him $5 mil. This wouldn't be taken as serious as that's not how fights are made yet.
But why not offer Wilder the Joshua fight next? They want to tie him up with two nobody fights until next year. Just make an offer for the fight and make it next after Miller and breazille.
Joshua's fighting Miller soon so in that time Wilder can fight Breazeale creating some interest in the fight. Also two fights of the three fight deal offered to Wilder were supposed to be against AJ..
wilder fans have no right to ever critize Joshua... look at the names hes fought in his first 20ish fights... and look at wilder.. it took him like what 30 -35 fights to fight ANYBODY? not considered a journeyman or gatekeeper
Hearn did all he could. Wilder (or his handlers) simply don't want the fight, even if you offered them $1 billion they'd find a reason "why it doesn't make business sense at the moment".
I don’t see why. Wilder has been very consistent about not wanting to be tied down to a promoter every since he left Golden Boy, so I don’t see why people would be shocked that he might turn down being exclusive to DAZN. Whether Wilder is signed to DAZN or not shouldn’t have any bearing on whether the fight between Wilder and Joshua gets made. Once both sides want the fight badly enough it will happen.
DAZN are offering a huge amount of money. With that why shouldnt they get a multi fight deal? If you get offered $20 mil to fight Breazeale then one can't be surprised if that comes with multi fights.
This. That seems very sketchy that DAZN wouldn’t make Wilder an offer to fight Joshua immediately. That more than likely soured the deal for Wilder, since an immediate match means the fight is going to happen and less likely Wilder gets left hanging like GGG was back back in 2015-2016 by Cotto and Canelo, who both disregarded agreements to fight him and wasted his time.
The big problem with the multi fight deal is $80 million of it is contingent on Joshua and Hearn agreeing to fight Wilder, which is neither Wilder or DAZN can control. Wilder would be left bound to DAZN for two fights without getting his $80 million If Hearn decides to have Joshua not fight Wilder, which is a very real possibility. Without the Joshua fight being guaranteed next this offer is way too risky.
You realise AJ is tied up this summer and is fighting Miller right and Wilder is planning to fight Breazeale this summer. This 3 fight deal suits both their existing plans and gives Wilder a massive payday for a relatively easy fight with Breazeale. They are not tying Wilder up with 2 nobodies, it's a 3 fight deal, Breazeale then AJ twice and he's already set to fight Breazeale which has been mandated by the WBC. Why would they make the offer after Breazeale when he can fight Breazeale make millions more and then secure the AJ fights? The alternative is fight Breazeale for fraction of the money then fight AJ which is the same scenario only Wilder makes far less money for Breazeale. You have to be a moron not to see the benefit of this deal over the alternative.
WTF. You honestly don't believe the AJ fight was offered part of the deal. Ya'll are trying to hard to find any excuse possible. If this was roles reversed you wouldn't be giving AJ the same kind of leeway.
