    Wilder asked for $7m back when Hearn was offering between $3-5m, I wonder where he'll move the goal posts to now... :dunno

    That's a fantastic offer and Wilder doesn't have to travel.
    What's his excuse now?

    Sounds like a good offer but does it come without any serious caveats? DAZN or a pre-fight Joshua split to be agreed in advance or some crap?

    I would say no, just to be a dick lol and say is Joshua next if not suck a goose egg.

    Also why doesnt he give that 7million+ the 15million for Joshua fight since that’s the fight he wants and he clearly has the funds

    Hearn literally said post fight at the weekend that he would make an offer for Wilder-Chisora and now it’s Whyte apparently. More bull**** from Hearn.

    Would make it an even contest to be fair.

    When you're getting paid 1.5-2 million a fight then why on earth wouldn't you take 7-8 million for Dillian Whyte?

    There really is no excuse Wilder can make now unless he just don't believe he beats Whyte.


    Btw, I believe Wilder beats Whyte, so surely you'd take that huge offer, fight in your own backyard, knock Whyte out and make Hearn pay you for the privilege?

    Agreed.

    No AJ/Hearn fan but if Wilder ducks DW on those terms at least, then we know the score. Can't see him turning it down though tbh.

    At this point, you have to figure Whyte would be a legitimate threat to Wilder. Up until now, I assumed Wilder would handle him without too much trouble, that it would be a 75 25 fight at best. Now I'm wondering if the reason they've been avoiding him is because they are actually afraid he will beat Wilder.

    Well Chisora won't be allowed into the US, VISA issues I believe so unless Wilder wants to travel to the UK and he has said he won't travel for Whyte so why would he travel for Chisora?

    Also Hearn won't pay Wilder 7-8 million for Chisora but he will for Whyte because he genuinely believes Whyte beats him.

    So Wilder has a choice, Whyte will be made mandatory for Wilder sooner or later, I think sooner, there will be pressure put on the WBC

    So if Hearn wants to be rather slippery he can make a side deal/side purse with Whyte, not make a purse bid, let Wilders team pay for the fight/event in the US and do it that way.

    Then Wilder loses out on a 7-8 million payday and will still have to fight Whyte.

    So I believe it's in Wilder interests to accept 7-8 million for Whyte and providing he wins it puts him in a stronger position for a potential AJ fight.

    I think he'll turn it down. "Chasing kings not peasants", or some bull like that. I'd MUCH rather see Wilder Whyte now than Wilder Brazaele. But I think its 90% Big Dom will get the next Wilder fight.
