    Nice payday for Wilder. Fighting a tomato can who is probably paid to take a dive too and receiving 1.4 million USD for it :blood

    Wilder received 1 million for the Stiverne bout, Stiverne (who was actually the champ) received much less.

    Glass jaw or not, Wilder will be financially OK. After Molina maybe 3 other bum fights and he has at least 10 million.

    I am very happy about this. Wilder needs the money, I hope he can now secure his daughter's health in the future.

    Its not that much money in today's day and age. He will be exposed as a fraud, ran from the sport, and 2-3 years after will be broke, having spent all his money on Las Vegas hookers and legal fees when he beats them up.

    Not to mention, he is getting 1.4 million, but how much is he keeping? I imagine that his team and promoter are keeping a pretty penny for manufacturing his career. The money to make guys dive has to come from somewhere, right?

    Wow Molina gets a meager $250k... where are the guys who say the K brothers were lowballing their opponents?

    He could've secured his daughters health for good if he took the 10 million to go to Russia and fight Povetkin.

    And why the hell would he do that?

    If he goes to Russia now and do a purse bid, he could get upwards to 16-18 million. :hi:

    Nope, he's the mandatory now. I don't think his promoter would go that high.

    Purse bit, the Russian Oligarghs will bid at least 22-25 million like they did last time.

    Wilder gets 75% of that money since he's champion. :hi:

    Povetkin's promoter won't have a say.

    Taking the fight now nets him way more cake. :yep

    My point is Sasha wasn't the mando when Wilder won the title, they wanted to get the fight without dealing with Perez so they needed to make a big offer. Now that WBC is gonna order the fight eventually, they may not need to make that big of an offer.

    My point is, why would he have taken that 10 million when he can easily make more now?

    Let that fight get juicy and it might even be more. :yep

    If he can get 1.4-1.5 million fighting Molina, why not?

    Let that Povetkin fight keep building. NO one knows Povetkin in the States atm.

    The Russian billionaires will put huge money in this as history shows. And Wilder will get 75%, Povetkin 25%. :bbb

    I'm not as certain as you that the fight will be worth more when it's ordered. Just saying :yep

    Well, it might not be worth that much but the Russian Oligarghs certainly put a ****ton on each of his fights and a world title fight will be even more. :good
