    Wilder should start negotiations for this fight. It would be the easiest fight out there for him. Whyte is easily rocked. Wilder should be able to get him out early.

    Those who say Wilder should take it (even not knowing what clauses it may contain, like Hearn having options or tying Wilder to fight on DAZN for a period of time, which are unacceptable) because it’s a career-high payday SURELY also said AJ should have taken the $50M offer from Wilder.

    Who said Dom is more proven than Whyte?

    Excellent points. If it happens people will see a fighter like Wilder make 4 times his previous highest payday fighting on DAZN and then question why they themselves are not fighting on that platform. It's a bold and smart move from Hearn and honestly it's a win/win for Wilder, easy win, huge payday, doesn't have to travel.

    True we need to know more about what is actually being offered but from what we know it seems like an incredible offer. As long as there's no options on Wilder than I can't see why he shouldn't take it.

    It may create a quandary for al Haymon, does he advise wilder to take a great deal but in the process run the risk of alienating showtime? They will want to deny Dazn access to fighters wherever possible. Of course that may be Hearns intention, splitting them up. The political side of this is fascinating!

    WBC ordered the fight against Ortiz which would have made him mandatory.

    If Wilder can make a deal with Tyson Fury, that’s definitely the way to go. Winner comes out on equal footing with AJ, can force 50-50 or close to it, and it takes something AJ wants away from him ... his two biggest potential fights are facing each other while Hearn has AJ in against Povetkin ... can’t make AJ too happy.

    Wilder said whyte is a bum. So if him and his fanboys are so right take the money! He only made just over $2m for ORTIZ this triples that figure so take the fight collect the biggest career payday. Simple put up or shut up.

    He said he would offer Wilder his choice of three opponents - chisora, Whyte, Joshua. Wilder can take any one he likes......but he won't.

    Something close to 50/50?

    You are as clueless as Wilder, no wonder you are backing him, you both have a inflated love for him, you dirty dirty rascal you.

    I know Wilders Ball Sack Riders™ (WBSR™) will disagree smashing Whyte now will give him more legitimacy than fighting Fury because:

    1. Whyte has just beaten two good perceived opponents and right now he is the man.
    2. Whyte is in the box seat to fight AJ now so Wilder is going to miss out again..
    3. If he fights (which I doubt) Fury and wins it still won't be seen as a good a scalp as Whyte because of the obvious Fury coming back from the dead as opposed to Whyte being in career best form..
    4. If AJ is as bad as WBSR™ then Whyte has a great chance of beating AJ making him liable to cut Wilder out..

    Really its only Wilder's team's arrogance that they are not taking Hearns money from him.. Really everyone else is getting rich while Wilder misses out..

    Take the money, take the belts, then you are the man..
