    $10 million and he can't nut up. This is why the HW is pathetic and nobody cares about it. Stiverne was a walking zombie and Wilder still couldn't knock him out. Wilder is a fraud and a ducker. His image is a mirage and he's not a true warrior. If you turn down 10 times the money you have ever made for a single fight, you are a straight up puto.

    Wilder ain't a bad hw. But he must realise he holds the title and he's gonna have to face all comers. Top 10 you know we gotta meet em' he says it in his sobg

    'a belt', not "the belt".
    people need to stop shooting the messenger - promoters and fighters are only manipulating what they are allowed to manipulate

    That belt will get him a klitchko fight, when povetkin deserves the rematch above anyone else.

    Wilder/Fury makes too much sense not to happen this year.

    But nobody is mistaken... everyone can agree that Povetkin is the #2 Heavyweight.

    It is inexcusable to turn down $10 million dollars. How can you call yourself a HW champ and look yourself in the mirror?

    exactly the same way the federations line their own pockets and maintain that they are legit

    It is all about maximizing revenue so his team must have confidence in both his short and long term future.

    I agree though. 10 million is way too much to turn down without looking scared of the match up.

    Povetkin really would paste him.

    If Wilder doesn't fight Wlad or Fury this year, you can complain all you want. He will get a big paycheck no matter which big name he fights, so $10m is irrelevant when it comes to choosing opponents. It's not like he will get $500k for fighting Wlad or Fury.

    Plus he can still fight Povetkin even if he loses to Wlad, but if he loses to Povetkin, he won't get a shot against Wlad.

    Not in Moscow he doesn't. He'd soil his pants walking ínto an arena of 25,000 chanting Soviet fans.

    So what, how long does he have to hold it before signing his next fight? No one is saying he needs to fight next month, but to reject a huge offer......it's weak.
