DEONTAY WILDER fired Lou Dibella because he got him an offer to fight Joshua

Yeah I mentioned this earlier, crazy. He not only turned down 120 mil deal but he fired his long time team member for even proposing the deal lol.
And he's a good fighter but anybody sensible that's been paying attention knows he's been ducking that fight. He's turned down mega offers. Hopefully it gets to such large figures he's almost forced to accept it, definitely doesn't want it willingly

This is some of the most delusional shyt I've read by you on here.
Not delusional at all, it's facts, if you think it's delusional YOU are delusional. I said he turned down the 120 mil right? Did he accept it? No and he's admitted he turned it down so who's being delusional?

Lou's only mistake was believing that Wilder genuinely wanted the AJ fight. Gets fired for giving his fighter the opportunity to earn 10 times more than he's ever done before. You notice how Wilder hasn't spoken about undisputed since Joshua beat Ruiz? If Ruiz had won that fight I guarantee he would've bytched out of the Fury rematch. That's why the fight wasn't confirmed until 3 weeks after AJ Ruiz II
That actually has some merit because Wilder said if Ruiz won he'd want Fury to step aside so could do undisputed, very soon after AJ won he came out and said the fight will never happen. It's gonna be harder for them to turn down a Saudi deal though cause of how huge it will be, after he turned down the 120 mil deal he was getting constant criticism, AJ losing distracted people from the fact he ducked the fight (again), the pressure would be absolute immense if Wilder beats Fury and they get an even bigger Saudi offer, biggest offer in boxing history again and they don't accept, it may force them to finally take it.

In y’all heart of hearts answer me this, do y’all really think Wilder is scared to fight Joshua?
He’s fighting a guy that y’all same dudes think he lost to, why y’all think he didn’t just take the money and fight Joshua instead of running it back with Fury and Ortiz. Y’all thought Fury won the fight, why risk a big payday to fight a guy you thought beat you?
Why fight the only guy at high level to truly hurt you instead of risk a big fight?
When they are both free the fight is going to happen, he just wasn’t about to keep waiting around to get the right deal. He also isn’t about to take some flat fees because look at the difference in pay Pacquaio would have gotten had he just took the 40m flat fee.

Yes, the reasons are because he’s turned down 1 of the the biggest deals in boxing history for the fight, and turned down career high purses multiple times before for that fight. He’s also been on record saying he’s scared to get knocked out. He got dropped twice in the pros by low level opponents and knocked out in the amateurs. Was knocked out in sparring by Wlad too who AJ beat. I didn’t want to think Wilder was scared because just wanted to see them fight but I do genuinely think there’s an element of fear there. When you look at his career he’s avoided high level punchers, wouldn’t fight Wlad or Vitali, wouldn’t fight Whyte and at all costs refuses to fight AJ. It may not only be fear, they may be trying to build up a profile by padding the record but if you have zero fear and full confidence you can do that fighting high level opposition and not ducking.
Fury isn’t known as a puncher, they are on record saying they picked Fury because they didn’t think he was ready. That’s literally admitting it was a cherry pick, after the majority of the world thinks he beat him he almost has to fight him again to earn his respect back. If Wilder beats Fury this time will be the first truly elite boxer on his record and will give him props for that, Fury has no excuses this time cause he’s had long enough to be prepared. But it won’t change the fact they’ve deliberately avoided high level punchers.
Fighting Ortiz again after he’d already knocked him out was embarrassing when he’s even older. Fury again is a good fight, Wilder feels like he has something to prove and obviously cause he got those 2 knockdowns gives him the confidence he could get a knockout this time.
They’ve both been free and Wilder turned down the fight on multiple occasions. He would have got 50 mil for the 2 fights. He could have had that in his bank and all of his purses after would have gone up dramatically. If he’d beaten AJ and was undisputed he would be boxing’s biggest star right now and 1 of the biggest world sports stars and he’d be getting huge money. This reason he isn’t as big as he could have been is cause he hasn’t taken the risks. The Fury fight was a fight that raised his profile significantly because of how dramatic it was, but it was an unwell and unfit Fury at the time.

He didn’t interfere, he set up the meetings which was attended by Wilder and Shelly, if he wasn’t allowed to do that why would they attend the meeting? They would have just not attended. Wilder said he was a free agent and can talk to anybody.

He got fired for it dumb ass. Of course he did something he was allowed to do.

So many lies. This why I stopped responding to you.
Answer me this, when did Wlad or Vitali ever offer Wilder a fight?
What you’re saying doesn’t make any sense and is a huge desperate reach. Wilder AND Shelly both attended the meeting, Lou advised them to take the deal and got fired.
