    No one cares about American boxing anymore... AJ has already proved you don't need to fight there to be a star... You're living on past glories...

    Yawn. Come back to me when Wilder faces a second legit top 10 heavy. Right now with the level of competition he is facing his belt is meaningless

    Too busy asking Stiverne to come back from the retirement home.

    What other options does Wilder have? He wont fight Ortiz. He wont fight Povetkin. Parker doesnt want that work from Wilder. He can rematch Stiverne for about 1 million bucks and he will be lucky to get 4,000 in attendance.

    Whyte is a good fight, his career high payday with exposure to the UK market. But Whyte is too risky for Deontay so he will duck and wait for AJ. But whats funny is AJ can get knocked off by anyone as dangerous as AJ is he has holes. Wilder may end up in the BJS situation, where BJS held his title hostage waiting on Canelo or GGG, but will likely end up getting neither of the two.

    Wasn't Wilder ranting about "terms"? I may have misinterpreted this but wasn't he talking about terms on his next fight? Someone correct me here because I just assumed that, I realise now that could easily be wrong.

    Wilder is a joke to me - a joke. But i he's knocking back the fight because he doesn't want to come in with Eddie even if he wins, I think that's fair enough. In fact, I think it's the right move.

    Hearn wanted the fight to be in Jamaica , thats why Wilder said it had to be on his terms. He ain't going to any Jamaica. What don't you get about it?

    Where does Hearn state that?

    Also, Hearn should get more say in the terms as his fighter is the 'A' side in money generating terms...Wilder can't sell out his local pub...

    Where does Hearn said that he wants the fight in Jamaica ? I highly doubt that.

    I don't see who Whyte beat to deserve a title shot. I'd like to see Wilder fight Parker or Ortiz.

    A Parker vs Wilder fight doesn't bring a 10 million payday. Fury is finished. Joshua is a money fight but that would be it.

    There is always two sides to a story. From what I read, Hearns came at Deontay like he was calling all the shots and Deontay would jump at that BS three million dollar offer and bow down to all of Hearns terms. Wilder checked him and let him know what he thought of that offer. Deontay is tired of all the BS and wants Joshua or Parker. That's the bottom line. People acting like he don't rate with Joshua but in fact he does. Him and Joshua were fighting the same caliber fighters until the Klitschko fight. I am sure Joshua would have no problem with a Wilder fight but Hearns is blocking and it's all about money. He wants to milk Joshua as long as he can before that fight happens but I think that Joshua is his own man and I think that soon he will start making his own decisions.

    Right now he has a chance for a golden pay cheque but he doesn't want to take the risk to spoil a chance for a bigger payout..
