Why is Wilder low balling opponents with $250k paychecks for HW title fights?

    You don't get it do you? I'm saying Wilder should have put $600-800k on the table and then he would have gotten a guy who's two notches better than Johnny Dahaupas.

    Wilder's handlers are systematically low-balling contenders and give them 4 weeks prep time. You think this is all a coincidence?

    Wilder should have?
    You mean his promotional /managerial team right?

    And Wilder himself is only making 1-2 million for these fights,where's the money going to come from??

    Wilder isn't a big draw and that will of course effect the amount of money available. Sure Duhaupas only made $250K but Wilder himself only made $1.4 million, so it was an 85/15 purse split.

    Haymon pays his own fighters or the popular guys too much and challengers too little (probably to be able to pay more for the bigger fighter). So the market value for top boxers is raised whilst everyone else it's reduced.

    Either way, Wilder isn't really the champion like Klitschko was nor is he as popular.

    People can always decline and leave him without an opponent.

    Yes that's what any half decent opponent does then he faces bums and claims it's the best he can get becuase people are ducking him. It's a complete joke

    Everyone knows the truth so who cares? It's not like he's receiving a ton of hype or paraded as a top heavyweight or top P4P. He's not even popular, he fights "bums" and gets little recognition for it. I'd understand the uproar if he were receiving a ton of praise but he's not.

    There's always some homeless bus driver who will take the paycheck, no matter how small.

    t read dulhaupus got £100k or 167k dollars i think on a british paper
    thats fAIR enough as a no name opponent
    i think wilder has got approx £660k for each of his 3 title fights again fair enough

    Rahman, Briggs and Toney are way bigger names than any of Wilders opponents so far, so you cannot really compare money.

    Would people prefer him standing and waiting mandatory instead?

    I think its much better that he is fighting against someone
