    He'll still not fight him.

    Damn that's a lot of money to fight someone like Breazeale, Kownacki or even Whyte. But how much of this offer is genuine and how much is it simply a ploy to sow discontent between Wilder and Showtime who likely can't offer him that much money to fight anyone not named Fury or Joshua.

    Gotta give it to Hearn he knows how to kick a man when he's down, Espinosa only just recovered from the beating he took off Hearn on Twitter now he has to deal with Wilder and explain to him why he can't pay him $15 mill for Breazeale or Kownacki.

    Wilder wants to go lineal & put his career & legacy into the history books forever.

    Fast Eddie can't offer him that. Only suitcases full of cash & belts with bling.

    Hearn defiently putting it out there to fcuk with Espinoza.

    I assume the $15 mil is worth the loss for payoff at the end being Joshua v Wilder.

    Wilder won't accept this though.

    Seems like a very good legit offer from Hearn , not like some of the others. Maybe he’s sensing he can genuinely get wilder now with all that’s gone on! Very interesting

    If you ask me it’s seems like ESPN and DAZN is going for the kill against Showtime as both have already made statements saying that SHO doesnt belong in boxing anymore.. As a Wilder fan I definitely believe Eddie on this one for reason explained in the first sentence. I think the way they look at it is if they kill Showtime a lot of “free agent” fighters will have no choice but to go one of their platforms. Fox can not produce enough cards to keep all PBC fighters happy.

    Both Fury and Wilder ducking AJ is getting more and more obvious, I just don’t know why.

    With this offer Wilder can make more than 50M dollar, even if Joshua knocks him out 2x he is a winner in life.

    Showtime is done, DAZN “killed” the market. But I’m happy for that, no more freakin network issues to make the God damn fights.

    I remember people on here saying wilder getting 15 mil from Joshua was a great offer so he should take it. he waited and fought fury and now that 15 mil can be earned vs Breazle I'd say they did ok

    Just more nebulous PR piffle to keep himself and his outfit relevant and talked about, which is working evidently.

    There'll be some spanner in the works somewhere.

    What an absurd risk to take when Wilder could be KO'd any fight by an aggressive puncher in a shootout. Brezeale, Fat Pole and Orc Thing could all brawl and come out on top on any given night. Fat Pole particularly is a very interesting opponent and if he isn't gun shy and can sustain enough punishment to close and connect, who knows. Even when Fury pressured Wilder briefly with combos, Wilder looked very uncomfortable and somewhat lost.
