    Hearn is trying to make Joshua-Wilder as big as possible. Whyte did give Joshua minor-to-average problems when they fought. Joshua's fight with Whyte was his hardest counting out the Klitschko fight.

    The thing is it doesn't actually matter if Whyte is better or worse than Wilder's other would-be opponents. The UK thinks Whyte can be a threat for Joshua and in the end that's all that matters. What people do think. A win over Whyte is without a doubt the biggest push for making Joshua-Wilder bigger compared to other fighters.

    Marcos Maidana made about $10 million against Mayweather for two fights, and he's the bloated king of Argentina right now. It doesn't take much, if you pick the right place to live.

    $7 million is more than $4 million. Isn't it? Almost double, right?

    And Joshua is making less per fight than Floyd Mayweather is making in one round.

    Everyone is looking for more.

    Right. So Wilder wants paid, because it would sell in the UK.

    Offering Wilder the US PPV sales isn't offering him anything. The U.S. would buy Wilder-Whyte like they would've bought Wilder-Stiverne on PPV.

    Offer Wilder half the UK PPV sales against Whyte, and see what he does.

    But Hearn wouldn't do that. Because Hearn's going to make a helluva lot more than $3 million off the PPV sales of Wilder-Whyte in the UK.

    I'm surprised he didn't ask for 100 $ mil.
    What a mental case.

    US money meaning whatever Showtime pays for the fight. Not US PPV

    If they go to purse bid they lose like they did against the Russians.

    4M would be the most they can hope for

    Deontay being way to generous. Eddie needs to cough up least 20 mil, if the Whyte fight happens. Get on gour knees and beg as well Hearn, lol.

    I highly doubt that.

    The Russians, as far as I know, aren't exactly known for their PPV extravaganzas. Do they even have PPV in Russia? Russia TV 2 isn't PPV. They just show boxing on state TV.

    Hearn makes more on PPVs in the UK.

    Exactly my point.
    If they didnt win the purse bid against World of Boxing how the heck they will win one against Matchroom who has even more money.

    Haymon bid like 4-5 M last time and the Russians 7M

    Forget it, the fights not happening. Ive seen this before, many times, 1st why should he face Joshua left overs at all, the internet grumbled at that, now its im happy to fight him but i deserve a minimum of a stupid amount of money. Hes already grumbling about leaving America to fight yet he is asking for an amount of money Hearn can only recoupe if he had the fight in the UK. Hell if all that even got some how sorted out id expect to see Whyte fail a drugs test due to using a chapstick.

    Theres ducking and then there is doing a full on Maxtrix agent.
