Alvarez signed a deal like this with the same company but was able to opt out of it. I'm sure there would have been opt outs for the streaming people too. Hard not to think they have something similar here. If Joshua manages to get beaten up and stopped or sparked in the rematch he loses an awful lot of value. He's just an ex champion then and the biggest thing he has going for him is he's British and could be in a huge fight with Fury. But that's a huge fight in Britain. In America, where this streaming company really have designs on making inroads, he's just an ex champ with two defeats against smaller guys, one of whom resembled the Michelin Man. He could fight Wilder if Wilder fights again but that would be two damaged goods ex champs in a probable nontitle bout. Fun fight to watch but not a huge PPV event.

No specific number mentioned in the article. Eight figures is ten million pounds or one big fight and they're saying eight figures over three to five years. Hard to see any significant sum being guaranteed and lots of opt out options and renegotiation possible depending on future results I would guess.
