    Regards the BT I don’t know how people can’t understand this. He was contracted to matchroom and sky so any fights around that time has to be done through them.

    How was DAZN going to get him AJ?

    DAZN put the money up for the fight

    They didn't.
    $ 100 million was contingent on Wilder fighting Joshua twice on DAZN. Networks cannot force fighters, see Canelo-DAZN-GBP fiasco.

    He did not want Joshua. Wilder only brought up unifying when Ruiz had the belts. Now that Joshua got them back he hasn’t even brought it up. He also admitted to ducking Joshua

    He saw what Joshua did to grandpa Klitschko at ringside, the same Klitschko that sent Wilder to the Shadow Relm in sparring and didn't want the smoke.

    He knows as soon as Joshua attacks him it's over

    This is false. Wilder rejected DAZN's offer before Joshua even fought Ruiz.

    Negotiations got stuck well before Ruiz-AJ 1.

    What are you taking about? I never said Wilder rejected after the Ruiz bout

    You said "he did not want Joshua". Did you forget the negotiations in 2018?

    He rejected the offer regardless. Career high payday. He fought Fury for less. He never wanted Aj. He needs to retire before he makes a bigger fool of himself

    Flat fee is due to it not being a PPV and on DAZN. They offered him $100m he turned it down as Al Haymon wanted to protect his own brand.

    wilder will come to regret that decision for the rest of his life if he loses to fury

    Wilders team reportedly turn down 3 or 4 career high purses and the chance to be unified champion.

    Never made a legit offer to make the AJ fight.

    Wilder even sacked his long serving manager Lou Dibella for even getting him to sit down and listen to DAZN offer. As Lou said Haymon, Finkel and Wiilder never had any real interest in the fight.

    wilder even let it slip in interview that he ducked AJ and could fought him for much more money than Fury but in his words "felt sorry for Fury" (no it was a cherry pick gone wrong).

    One of the biggest and clearest ducks in boxing history.
