Are Wilder and AJ lowballing Ruiz and Whyte or are the later being greedy

    Seems like a lot of the current HW fights are difficult getting signed and sealed…

    I’m not sure, but like always it’s supposed to be an extremely generous offer (according to Hearn and DiBella). Whyte and Ruiz doesn’t seem to think so.

    It's taking time because they are all syncing up.

    All of them are booking in "safe" activity fights before the BIG announcement.

    August/September all of them should be out.

    There is no money for any of them to face good opponents really. or worth the risk.

    This means nothing.

    Hearn would gladly hit his own grandmother over the back of the head with a pool cue until she had detached retinas for two dollars.

    Every single boxing promoter on the face of the planet is a slimy, lying, con artist thief that reeks of cheap cologne and shame.

    Think it's a risk/reward proposition now. Whether real or imagined, everyone is acting like the superfight day is going to happen in December. I don't like it because these guys are inactive for way too long, but if there's genuinely that much money in it I can't blame them.

    HW sucks this year, tho. Too bad because some other divisions are thriving.

    I think Ruiz knows a fight with Wilder could be a catastrophic knockout loss and he wants BIG money.

    The big problem is most of the smaller heavyweights aren't during it out to earn the top spot. Many are holding our hoping for a shot.

    Don't know about Wilder/Ruiz as I've not come across any figures.

    As for Joshua/Whyte, they've offered Whyte £3 million but Whyte wants a ludicrous £10 million. So it seems both are to blame, Joshua could pay more, he offered him $8 mill when Miller was done for doping which Whyte turned down, so something around $5 mill/ £4 mill would be reasonable but £10 mill or $12 mill demand from Whyte is bonkers, Fury must have given him permanent brain damage if he thinks he's getting anywhere near that much.

    Maybe it's you that's a dishonst person?

    How would you like to put in hundreds of hours of work to put together an event and to see everyone else walk away from it with fat pockets and happy while you yourself would only have a loss to show for your efforts? If you think that you can do it better than they can then go ahead prove yourself.
