Lou DiBella "Al Haymon Fired Me From PBC For Trying To Get Wilder The AJ Fight"

[TheUptownKid]

If prograis has six shobox fights and then goes to another network I’d probably be salty too, or at least keep it in mind when the next time comes around. Sorry for him as he and junior fa are the biggest ones impacted by this

All this weird stuff going on right now is more to do with the networks playing hardball even more than the promotional outfits. Exclusive contracts etc. No network wants to give up their stars to another network.

The networks are the new promoters.

[N/A]

DAZN who offered Wilder a massive lucrative $120 million deal to fight AJ.

No, they offered him $40 million to fight AJ. $120 million would have been for four fights, had he been able to win all four.

He mentions he found it very strange that he got fired for getting Wilder a career high payday

Wilder offered Joshua a career high payday of $50 million and Joshua turned it down.

Lou was fired for setting up a meeting he didn't have permission to set up and violating Finkel & Haymon's exclusive rights to negotiate Wilder's fights.

So no link for this info or are we supposed to just take your word for it?

Mate just google it.. Its not hard.

[N/A]

have you ever read a Haymon managerial contract?? I have. And what you just suggested is 1000% impossible under a Haymon contract.....

which is why lou was fired. he was trying to do something he didn't have the legal right to do.

[N/A]

Industry doesn’t care for brands but only what the fighters do.

That is changing. You're underestimating the impact of FOX/FS1/FS2 pushing PBC propaganda 80-100 hours a month.

[NahMean]

That's actually the managers job.

Well Lou set up a meeting with DAZN execs and Wilder's managers where Wilder was offered the fight he apparently wanted for so long for career high money.

Team Wilder always stated how it was frustrating it was trying to make the AJ and how badly he wanted it.. Lou got them what they wanted! Team Wilder should have gave Lou a promotion for his efforts but they sacked him!!! If Wilder was his own boss he would appreciate Lou, but Wilder does what he is told by Haymon.

Fact is they fired the man who set up a real offer for a real fight.. that’s not the actions of someone who wants the fight!!

[SN!PER]

Wilder's worth has increased with every fight. In the end, he's going to end up being paid many millions more when the fight happens than he would have been paid back then.

LOL your days of saying wilder and Winkle and haymon wanting that fight are long gone my good friend. Long gone.

not even close.....

theyd love the fight...not on DAZN...not when nobody could find out how much AJ was getting

we have tons of evidence against AJ...

we also have AJ getting beat the **** up

have you ever read a Haymon managerial contract?? I have. And what you just suggested is 1000% impossible under a Haymon contract.....

“In retrospect, I was too brash going in there without creating the relationships I needed to create with the people who advised Deontay Wilder. I have now worked to do that. It has to do with going back to the education I needed before getting into boxing ?When we left that (Wilder) meeting, I knew we messed up and that we weren’t going to be successful.

“We were impatient, and after having some early success, we wanted to move quickly. Now I understand that I’ve got to work relationships, work within a framework and understand other peoples?self-interests and needs as well ?If I had to do it again, I’d have gone in and said, ‘I’m playing the long game.?I’m playing the long game with Canelo and GGG, too.?br />

what i got from that is..."well...i sorta went through dibella to set up the meeting without really talking to haymon and finkel about it first...i knew i screwed up but i desperately wanted to make it sound like we offered wilder the fight to save face for AJ because hearn was making a mockery out of it"

also remember wilder said they wouldnt divulge what AJ was getting....

when he says "work relationships" basically he went to dibella when you know damn well thats not the guy you reach out to first....
