    For sure Wilder will get more than 4M when he'll unify against AJ

    I was sarcastic about DiBella. He's a good promoter but he has no one. I think the biggest name he had was Avtandil Khurtzidze, correct me if I'm wrong

    Haymon was neutral about that offer, that was my point, because you said earlier Haymon would have something against Hearn's offer. Or against Hearn, which isnt the case, on the contrary

    I do see your point about VADA tests against AJ. I do think he is/ was on something. His transformation is incredible

    But if the WBC belt is on the line isnt VADA mandatory, as part of WBC's Clean Program ?

    Yes but the level and frequency are up for negotiation. There’s a minimum. Wilder has been insisting on far more than the minimum, which is why these dudes keep getting caught.

    The question today, since AJ’s interview, is whether he will fight Wilder in 2018. Provided he beats Pulev and Wilder defeats Stiverne (they will both win), there’s nothing stopping unification happening in the spring of next year.

    Now AJ is hedging and literally saying maybe 2019 or 2020. That makes me wonder.

    Wilder cant fight nobodies then get a unification shot,it dosent ******* work like that.AJ has a old Klitschko on his record,which is better than anything on Wilders cv and Whyte.Wilder has no one.Thats why they got ortiz,he needs someone,that person is Whyte as he is the only who will fight him.

    Since when has a heavyweight have to have a credible win on his resume to get another title shot?

    Wilder is NOT a draw that's the sad truth. He's a HW WBC champion with 5 fraudulent title defenses who is completely unknown in his home country. Wilder could walk across Times Square and literally NO ONE would notice him.

    If this is true and Showtime don't show it or don't want to show it then errr Yeah errr maybe Wilder should tweet about how AJ needs to go to US to fight him to become "global" again, I need a laugh.

    Wilder is the gift that just keeps giving, Wilder isn't a draw even in his own country, he isn't a big name and he isn't worth watching and he has the audacity to claim Joshua needs HIM, also it needs to be in the US.

    On the flip side, I believe Joshua could fight anybody and it would sell out a large venue and it would be a PPV event over here and when I say anybody.. I mean anybody.

    Genuinely big names sell out venues and are in demand regardless of the opponent. Maybe the Wilder fanboys will finally concede Wilder isn't a big name, isn't a draw and should be made to earn a shot at the current main man.
