Of course he deserves more than Parker. Who the eff is Parker? He brought a wbo trinket to the table and nothing else. Wilder knocked out Luis Ortiz in his last fight, not a points win on a feather fisted bum. Let's start calling this what it is - a walking talking quacking DUCK by Joshua and Hearn. They know Wilder could well be the end of their gravy train and they are not about to give Wilder any kind of deal he can accept. It's obvious they want to milk a few more bums like Miller or Whye2 before Wilder (or Povetkin) get a shot.
How is making an offer a duck? And maybe you could say what Wilder is worth if its more than 18 million dollars? Wilder could wreck that gravy train there is no denying that but cuz its a 50-50 fight in the ring doesnt mean its 50-50 with the money too. 18 million dollars and a rematch clause and the chance to take ALL the belts and they say no. They may not think it is a good offer but it is an offer and one that ANY other heavyweight would snatch at, hell offer this to some Cruiserweights they would take it too. Just not 1 particular man, Wilder. But its AJ who is clearly ducking?
He is not nor has he ever been the heavyweight champion He is a trinket holder and #2 A big steaming #2
This. The fight clearly isn't going to happen this year. The fight most likely doesn't happen until 2020.
Firstly he's been offered more than Parker. Secondly, if this fight generates the $100,000,000 Finkle says it does, then 20% of the fight is 'more than Parker' got.
I don't think it will happen either. Too many egos who are part of the decision making process heavily involved. Both sides are obviously a fair way apart (bit like this forum!!) but I suppose while there is still talking there still is a chance it may get done but someone would have to pull down their pants.
Wladimir Klitschko once swallowed his pride and gave David Haye 50% because Wladimir LEGITIMATELY wanted that fight that badly. So there is precedent to the "you want the fight that bad, it's a huge fight, it's a career high purse, then quit worrying about what the other guy is making!" Sure, it's rare as a blue moon. But the great Wladimir literally did it. No way did Haye "deserve" 50% or close to it. But Wladimir made sure the fight happened.
Wilder is a legend in his own mind. He does not deserve more than Parker....................but Wilder does not want to fight Joshua, he does not want to get knocked out, he will fight Breazeale next since Haymon owns Breazeale and Breazeals was knocked out by Joshua.........................he will continue to clear out the allies of winos.......
I believe Parker deserved more. I already mentioned the reasons above. I'm not Hearn though. He'll offer Wilder what he feels he's worth.
