    He knows its a dangerous fight and will probably lose his meal ticket. That ticket gets him 1.5million a time fighting bums the WBC feed him.

    Both Wilder and WBC are happy with this arrangement. WBC don't want a unified WHC, that's nonsense and it'll lose them a lot of money when other organisations enforce mandatories.

    He already made 4 millions when he avoided Povetkin like a plague and forced Povetkin Team to pay him court money. Now Povetkin is proved to be clean. Wilder is a joke LMAO.

    $4 mil flat with no PPV upside? He'll hold out and get 40/60. Lol

    I'm not a wilder supporter by any means but your comment is a joke.

    Challengers can't make respectable offers when they aren't even mandatories.

    I'm not sure if Wilder knows what a mandatory is tbh...

    Wlad wasn't AJ's mandatory but they fought....

    Why do you think Wilder wouldn't take an easy big payday for Whyte? I'm pretty sure the WBC would sanction it...

    Ppv? This fight isn't ppv in the UK, wilder is unknown in the UK and whyte can't carry a ppv unless they put a few more world title fights on it.
    And wilder isn't ppv in america , hearn only wants this fight to set up either wilder vs Joshua, or set up a massive rematch unification between whyte vs Joshua which would be even bigger

    Probably waiting out for a Joshua or Fury or Parker fight, thinking about a huge 10+ mil payday type of deal.
