Is going to be absolutely massive.
This is a monster of a fight worth over £100m and to believe this opportunity was offered to that fraud Wilder and he turned it down .................turned down £100m to fight AJ!!!!
After all that big talk how it was AJ backing out? DAZN literally sat him and that gremlin of a manager Finkel in a room and said right, £100m, lets go and the fraud said no, said NO!!
Think about it, anyone on this forum would of said yes to take a beating for £100m ffs, what a coward.
i personally think it was a bit of both
when wilder was on the rise knocking people out left, right and centre it felt like there was a hesitation from hearn to put AJ in with him
hearn didnt wanna put his cash cow in with wilder and wanted to ride the money train as much as poss
then when fury boxed the crap out of wilder all of a sudden hearn was hot on the case but by that time, wilder didnt quite fancy it.
The Dazn offer was made to Wilder before the Wilder vs Fury fight though.
Also Wilder almost signed a £40m deal to fight AJ back when he was only getting £2m per fight, he was going to accept a lower amount because he was making nothing like AJ, I think AJ was in for £60m in that deal.
Wilder was about to sign then started fkin around about minor details, this is when the WBA I believe it was started pushing the timer on the deal saying AJ must fight their mandatory or he loses a belt so as Wilder didn't sign in time AJ had to fight the mandatory.
Wilder has screwed it twice now, first time was minor stuff, 2nd time with Dazn was an out and out flap.
He chose Fury because he thought Fury was a mess coming off the couch, then Fury warmed up on him then came back in form and ruined his life and took his belt.
Now Wilder is a ghost resigned to blaming his heavy costume and saying his corner man spiked his water bottle, or that Fury had weights in his "officially checked" gloves.
I have lost all and every respect for Wilder, more as a man than as a fighter.
