This is the thing. It's ok saying, I'll give you $50mil but where is that coming from. Wilder and AJ have NEVER done a PPV in the US. Ever. And it will need the US market to get anywhere near those figures.
You go to a bank and apply for a mortgage they look at your financials. Your history. Same with putting on an event. Wilder has made $2mil tops from one fight. Never done PPV. Yet he can offer AJ $50mil, and presumably $50mil for himself. What in Wilder's history suggests he can make a $100mil PPV event? They're living in a dream world. The best part is it's not Wilder who can generate the money anyway! He's doing it off AJ's name. He fights anyone else and he's back to $1-2 mil a fight. AJ fights Fury, Haye, Whyte and he's still making big money.
Wilder's team are complete amateurs.
