    Dan Rafael is reporting that Showtime is negotiating to pay Wilder as much "or more" than the DAZN deal to fight THREE TIMES on Showtime.

    And Wilder will still be FREE to fight Fury on ESPN or Joshua on DAZN.

    So all you guys talking about the TRAGEDY of Deontay Wilder and how could Wilder give up $100 million for three fights ... don't you fret.

    Wilder can make that much and not even fight Joshua.

    it's good to be THE MOST FAMOUS BOXER IN THE WORLD.

    Wilder is the MAN.

    Wilder-Breazeale will draw the highest ratings of any boxing match televised in the first half of 2019.

    Take it to the bank.

    I said that in another thread too, glad to see other intellectuals here. Wilder is living in 3019.

    Deonkey has himself and little bro (when he wakes up) offered to work as a janitor in their office to supplement their matching 20 million offer..

    Showtime are now considering this..

    Ive just heard an interview with Espinoza and he admits Wilder is taking a big loss by staying loyal. Life just goes on, they pretend the DAZN offer never happened and Anthony Joshua dont exist.

    And Showtime might ruin itself doing it. Well, not "ruin" but get itself out of boxing.

    Without having to fight Fury or Joshua, that's either just bullshirt or downright stupid. There's no way in hell they will get enough money out of fighting second rate opposition, as it already seemed like he would get massively overpaid in the DAZN deal with 2 Joshua fights in the mix.
    It's either just nonsense or Shotime is setting themselves up for their biggest financial flop in boxing thus far.

    And which fights will exactly get him more money than the 100 million offer from DAZN?

    Fat Dan isn't the most reliable source to be honest he gets loads of **** wrong all the fricken time making claims that never come true. Taking boxing news from Fat Dan is like taking dieting tips from Bermane Stiverne, likely to lead to failure.

    Only way this is true is Showtime has decided to do what HBO refused to do and throw money at boxing and make a loss in the short term to try and come out on top at the end.

    Also if true just again exposes Wilder was lying about wanting to be a free agent as the reason for not signing with DAZN, he's going to be tied to Showtime instead. Doesn't matter how you spin it, a duck is a duck and this one is blatant.
