Hearn confirms Wilder turned down $3 mil plus US TV

Deonkey is chicken

Clearly he is chicken over a Whyte fight.

Too much of a test for the biggest fraud in world boxing

 

Wilder is a moron, either him or his team.
Did he not learn from Quillin debacle? You don't turn down that kind of money.

 

Wilder and his fans aren't intelligent enough to understand business.... Wilder/Whyte would have made the Joshua fight even bigger. It was a win for everyone.... Wilder gets a career high payday, his UK profile is boosted.. In the event that Wilder is upset - Joshua/Whyte II or even Wilder/Whyte II would be set up.. The fight was good for boxing - seems like Wilders fanboys on here want wants good for Wilder, not the sport as a whole.

 

It was the perfect fight to add any extra to a Joshua Wilder match up, simple business it seemed so obvious i really saw this as a double win for Wilder, real big payday by his standards and get to demolish Whyte infront of both Uk and US audiences or atleast get their attention as he could of just demolished the man that gave Joshua one of his toughest fights so far. It felt like the fight that set up the Joshua fight nicely.

Cannot believe he not only didnt take it but spat at it like it was an insult to him. Shame, would of liked to of seen it but what can you do when the man either has a twisted view of himself, the division and the sport in general or more i suspect that his promoters and his Bombsquad make his decisions and are a bunch of chickens who prefer to just keep raking in the $1 million dollar paydays. A good chunk of that must go to the WBC to pay for the strings they keep pulling to protect him too. Leaves them just enough for a couple of ounces here and there.

 

I don't think Wilder is stupid. Like Quillin before him, I think Haymon "advised" him not to take the fight.

 

When Wilder ktfo Whyte don't call him a bum

 

If i was Hearn i would not give Wilder the AJ shot,until he fights someone of Whytes level.Chisora,Haye,Whyte,Brezeale and Parker.That would force him and his **** team into fighting real fighters.

 

Wilder just can't break past the 1.5 mil payday level. I think even Chris Byrd and Ruiz were able to do that and neither had a fanbase or sold tickets.

 

This.

At the moment all Wilder deserves is a flat fee of around $3mill for a Joshua fight, double the amount he's ever made on a purse before.

The split right now in terms of what they bring to the table should be 90/10 in favour of Joshua. Wilder needs to understand this.

 

A 36 year old war torn Chisora arguably beat Whyte...

 

The sad part is I would still pick wilder over dilly but it would be a much tougher fight then he is use to he just doesn't have the self belief

He doesn't allow his potential to be shown because of his cowardness

 

chisora would be wilders best opponent

 

If Wilder is even semi for real then that's what he should do. Joshua had him looking like Patrick Truman whilst he was having a stroke ffs.
