    No it’s not. But his flying home from England before the wbc could rule on the meldonium farce - forcing the wbc to cancel the Povetkin fight sure was by either him or his team.

    I’m sure if AJ finds his balls and signs a contract Wilder would be happy to visit Wales.

    Declining a 72-28 split is a duck? Assuming the correspondence is authentic, I'd hope that everyone who read it would realize that Haymon's use of the word "generous" was a mere courtesy. 28% is a lowball.

    No it's not look at their purses 28% to fight the guy with more titles, ranked higher and generates most the income and you didn't hear a counter offer did you.

    His excuse is that he shouted bomb squad in the departure lounge and they stopped him boarding. Not cowardly at all Deontay.

    There is no restraining order.

    There is no extra security.

    "Freezing out" is a sign of dominance/power alpha vs beta.

    You Wilder fans are so delusional, your heads are actually sh*t-filled condoms.

    This fight would make the biggest, most lucrative event of Joshua's career, bigger than the Klitschko bout, and that difference in marketing power is down to who Wilder is and the elements he brings to the matchup. Brash American KO artist vs. British Stiff Upper Lip in a unification bout is a formula to print money. He's worth at least 35%, more like 40. 28% is not an offer made in good faith.

    Damn, Wilder lies as much as Trump! One lie after another! I am getting tired of his diarrhea of the mouth, it his fight with Joshua is so easy, then he should fight Joshua, but I really think we will never see that fight happen because Wilder does not want it to happen!

    I' didn't think so, deontay said he wanted to go but only if he gets to confront joshua If he wins, hearns in retaliation threatened to double up security and put a restraining order on wilder, hearns also wants wilder to fight whyte next, I don't think wilder is scarred of joshua and I don' think joshua is scarred of wilder, but I do think hearns is scarred of wilder for joshua.

    Was just about to use those exact words. He seems to actually really believe himself when he thinks he is the big player in the division.

    Wilder acts like he's entitled to free money.

    He’s not the A side here. Hell this isn’t even an event involving him! He simply can’t make demands.

    That's the problem with the young generation in the US. They don't want to work hard, they believe they should be handed things for free because they 'deserve them'. They don't want to take risks. They act out if they're not given what they're crying out for.

    Wilder is not a good example for kids who look up to him for leadership.
