Per ESPN

DAZN offered Wilder two versions of a deal from which he could pick, two sources with knowledge of the offers told ESPN.

One deal, the sources said, was for three fights worth $100 million. The first fight would have been a $20 million payday to fight Breazeale this spring. The second fight would have been for $40 million to fight Joshua in the fall for the undisputed title with the third fight being an immediate rematch with Joshua for another $40 million -- even if Wilder, in the worst-case scenario, had gotten knocked out, even in the first round, of the first fight by Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs), 29, of England.

The second version of the offer, one of the sources said, would have paid Wilder $20 million to fight Breazeale, $40 million for the Joshua fight, a $20 million fight against another opponent to be determined followed by another $40 million for a rematch with Joshua in the fourth fight.

In addition, one of the sources said the first fight with Joshua was guaranteed to be in the United States with DAZN willing to have the second fight in Joshua's native United Kingdom, even though the time zone would put a live stream of the fight on in the late afternoon instead of closer to the preferred time of 11:30 p.m. ET, which is when most major fights go off for U.S. broadcasts.

After Fury signed a co-promotional deal with Top Rank last month to bring his fights to ESPN platforms, the much-anticipated rematch with Wilder, which was close to being finalized, fell apart because Wilder also rejected an offer from Top Rank for $12.5 million for a summer fight against an opponent to be determined followed by $20 million to fight Fury again on ESPN PPV in the fall.

Yeah boxers gotta figure out a way to get that money, and create revenue streams outside of boxing.

You don’t see them selling merchandise either.

You had Tyson but him went to prison ruined that :manny:

While I’m mad he didn’t take the offer the deal should be 2 fights 70 million and winner gets the rematch on their network and negotiate the terms. No reason to lock in a value for the rematch because if he signs it could be on pay per view for a lot of money.

I don't have a problem with fighters getting paid but everybody aint getting floyd type of money :manny:



I don't understand thats training camp money to floyd quote because its wilder thats getting offered not floyd

It's because nikkas still lose their mind when it comes to Floyd.

My reaction would have been, Then why haven't I been getting that kind of money already. Why bring that shyt up now, when potential deals are on the table.

Haymon selling them all a dream that they can be on Floyd level one day, when its not true. Only Broner really had that potential, but dude can't win or put on good showings when he needs it most.

Only cats I can think of are Lacy when he was with Everlast and Broner was rocking the fashionnova men ad for the Pac fight.

I just don't think nikkas really care like that. They getting over paid to fight in some instances. shyt why bother with anything else.

I hope not. Showtime has invested a lot of money in some cool promo vids/features for him and PBC on FOX is starting to market him as an online star (the last FS1 card he was involved in interactively on some chat service).

It would be going back underground on dazn.
Reality is we shouldn’t care about this shyt as fans. The best fights for Wilder are on DAZN, and turning down that offer makes him look likes he’s vigorously ducking an AJ fade. Call the flat fee what you want but Wilder almost lost his zero four months ago. It can go at anytime.

They need to start making these big fights if these two can do this!

if they did this on Fox PPV, this is a pretty good sign for a potential Wilder/Joshua fight with the right promo.

Wilder is trying to make close to nine figures with just one Joshua fight while not committing to any network for a period of time. I understand it.

Breazeale Sent Gifts To Boxer Who Knocked Out Wilder's Brother

Breazeale Sent Gifts To Boxer Who Knocked Out Wilder's Brother


By Keith Idec

NEW YORK – Dominic Breazeale was so thankful, he mailed William Deets a few tokens of his appreciation.

Once Deets knocked out Marsellos Wilder on January 26, Breazeale sent Deets shirts, sweatpants and a hat that bear Breazeale’s nickname, “Trouble.” Breazeale wants to take out Deets for a steak dinner, too.

That’s how much Breazeale enjoyed the journeyman’s fourth-round, technical-knockout of Deontay Wilder’s younger brother. Breazeale’s beef with Marsellos Wilder stems from the melee Breazeale believes Marsellos Wilder incited two years ago in the lobby of a Birmingham hotel.

dominic-breazeale%20(14).jpg




Breazeale detailed Tuesday how Marsellos Wilder punched him on the back of his head during that late-night skirmish in February 2017. Their argument began at ringside at nearby Legacy Arena, where Wilder stopped Gerald Washington and Breazeale beat Izu Ugonoh by TKO on the same FOX card.

Birmingham police broke up the ensuing brawl at The Westin Birmingham. No arrests were made related to that incident, which took place in front of Breazeale’s wife and two young children.

Breazeale later filed a lawsuit, which he acknowledged Tuesday is unlikely to result in him receiving monetary damages.

That’s another reason Breazeale was so thrilled when he learned Deets defeated Marsellos Wilder on the non-televised portion of the Keith Thurman-Josesito Lopez undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Breazeale (20-1, 18 KOs) discussed that satisfaction Tuesday following a press conference to officially announce his May 18 fight against Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“Oh man, I was so excited,” Breazeale told BoxingScene.com. “I was so excited that I sent ‘Trouble’ gear to his opponent’s home. I wanted to take him out to dinner, buy him a steak. For me, that was so bittersweet because, you know, karma, it happens. It’s gonna come full circle. For him to punch me in the back of the head, and me have to think about that on a daily basis, as a man, that’s degrading, right? And the fact, on top of that, is like you hit me in the back of the head – I don’t know if I punch you, well, she punches you in the back of the head, you go down, you probably stay down, right?



“I got back up to fight and I see this dude high-tailing it the hell out of here, right? So, I mean, if you’re gonna throw a punch, at least stick around and see, give me a shot to get a rebuttal, right? So, it was beautiful. It was beautiful that I got the news of that. I watch it and watch it. I walk into the game room of my house, and it’s highlighted. It just runs on a reel, him getting knocked out. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Marsellos Wilder bounced back from his loss to Deets (7-13, 3 KOs) by winning Saturday night in Arlington, Texas. The 29-year-old Wilder (4-1, 3 KOs), of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, scored a first-round TKO of Mark Sanchez (0-2) on the Errol Spence Jr.-Mikey Garcia undercard at AT&T Stadium.
