    How can you say that when you have no idea how much that fight makes? It has higher Boxing significance because its for all the belts but that doesnt mean people have to pay for the PPV or go to it. Im sure it will be really big because of what it is but what if it doesnt? What if Americans dont want to pay $80 to watch Wilder at 5pm when usually they would be watching Basketball with their whole family who are not interested in seeing people beating each other to a bloody pulp.

    Then it just goes back to the man who has put all the work and effort in to being the super earner having to give his hard earned money to some other guy who hasnt been prepared to do any of that stuff.

    Come on now, don't kid yourself, that fight is worth more than 15 million for Wilder and we both know that.

    I disagree in the Povetkin fight, and the Wilder fight is 50/50 Wilder thinks the same thing whether he's said it out loud or not.

    Joshua body language was terrible when he was asked about Wilder and Fury. Even his talk wasn't overly enthusiastic. Don't know what's changed. Wembleys booked so after the fight in December either wilder or fury would have to agree terms in a short space of time, I'm guessing he doesn't think that will happen. Add in any rematch clause from wilder/fury and he probably thinks there's no point pushing a fight that won't happen.

    If I was him I would be regretting letting the Wilder fight get away. He's now on the peripheral, and has to wait to see where everything lands.

    I would watch a Whyte rematch but that's not the fight we all want.

    I guess we watched a different fight if you think Joshua looked like a confident fighter against Povetkin and i genuinely believe Wilder thinks he would knock his block off, he gives me that vibe and that's what i want to see from a champion.

    We know it's worth more than $15m because there's no way on earth Hearn would offer the maximum possible purse to any opponent. He knows HW money is centred in the UK and is trying to play the hardest of hard ball using that advantage. But the landscape changes if Wilder beats Fury. So what does Hearn do? Set an illogical deadline prior to that fight.

    The motivation behind this artificial deadline is so transparent only a blind fold would stop anyone seeing through it...

    Yeah because Wilder would have looked better against Povetkin, right?

    Looked as confident as any 22 fight boxer can.

    If Wilder destroys fury he will demand more money, it's not that hard to understand.

    But we have still some illogical fanboys who can't see through bull****, i don't even dislike Joshua, i like him and i appreciate what he has done so far but Wilder is not the one to blame.

    Hearn sent Wilders team a signed contract which had all the terms Wilders team had set out and agreed. They didn't sign the contract. There's only one side dodging here and its not Josh

    I don't care about the Shenanigans. Wilder is fighting the lineal HW champion and Joshua is Waitng in the wings. Well soon enough have an undisputed hw champion of the world. Be happy
