    There's no way Pulev would turn this fight down if the money is right. Did Eddie Hearn offer him some peanuts like 500K while Pulev expects to get 3 millions or something?

    To my understanding Pulev is just using all the time he has spare to prepare for the biggest fight of his career. Would you rush into a fight with Joshua or use every last moment you were given to get the best out of yourself.

    I wouldn't get in the way of other fights if I knew I wasn't going to be ready for the foreseeable future. Pulev demanded to be next so he either takes his shot or gets the **** out of the way. I'm so tired of these entitled mandos thinking that they dictate terms to the champ.

    I don't think 500k is a terrible purse for a very limited challenger. Seems pretty fair.

    Pulev got 1.5 million from the Wlad fight.

    Its the feds that give time-scales to people. If IBF said you have till Dec to fight or whatever and Hearn says he wants the fight much earlier, would you accept the fight earlier when you could have another 2 months to prepare? I know which route I would go down.

    Which was still only 20%.

    Also at the time he was unbeaten. He lost his 0 against Wlad and got destroyed, he hasn't got the same appeal as back then.

    Pulev is a threat to Joshua. Remember he recently beat Chisora in a one sided contest, the same Chisora who in many people's eyes beat Whyte who almost ruined the Joshua hype before it got going. He's a level above both Chisora and Whyte in my opinion. Both Whyte and Chisora are top ten HW's, Pulev is one of the top contenders out there and may cause an upset.

    I would think he would make over 1million for a fight vs Joshua 0.0 . didn't martin and breazeale get a couple million each? and they were smaller names then pulev is.

    Neither Whyte nor Chisora can be classed as true top 10 fighters. They are there by default due to retirements, injuries and failed drug tests of other fighters. They are just domestic level in reality.

    Pulev has NO chance against AJ.

    Even though Pulev got KTFO vs Wlad, he put up a better showing than Haye. Pulev had a bit of success trying to rough up Wlad, he may have that same success for Joshua. I'm still favoring Joshua over Pulev, like 95-05 chance. Pulev has that chance though if he goes for broke and keeps his hands up.

    Whyte is without a doubt a top ten contender and is world level as his showing against Joshua clearly shows he was very dangerous in that fight. Chisora has always been world level contender. To state they are domestic, with the likes of Mcdermott, Dave Allen, Price's is absurd.

    Martin was the champion...he simply cashed out for the AJ fight. No idea what breazeale got.pulev will get his 25% and be happy with it...like it or lump it.

    No what IS absurd is saying Whyte is World level. He really isn't!

    So crude, no decent technique, takes far too many shots, hasn't got serious K.O power, terrible timing, iffy footwork, no dicipline, low ring I.Q.

    All Whyte is, is a brawler.

    Not sure if you are trolling, but if you REALLY think he is World level you need help.

    So you think it's acceptable for Pulev to dictate the timescale? We can all see what he's doing and it's pretty craven in my opinion. He's hoping Joshua vacates so he can fight some Glazkov/Martin type of opponent.

    If he wants to enforce his mando later then that's all good with me but don't stop other fights happening if you're not ready and other people are.
