    Who the hell wants to see Wilder roll over after 1-2 rounds Martin style? At least Povetkin comes to fight, another guy on the long list of contenders Wilder has run from. Wilder has the contract on his lap, all he has to do is sign. He wont. Hes been offered 15 million, thinks hes worth 40 million, cant even make 2 million.
    Hes working off a cash out / tomato can career ratio. He wont take 15 million yet cause he figures he can still make that in 8-9 fights against Stiverne 3, Witherspoon, Morrison, Mansour, Kauffman, Cunningham, Bryan, Joe Smith Jr etc.. Most protected pre Madonna in world boxing.

    Oh that’s interesting so Manny should have taken the 40 million cause Floyd was the top dog and barked?!

    Lol it's been awhile my friend.
    As to the Floyd Pac comparison, it's not exactly pararrel.
    Pac had become top dog as the old top dog Floyd went on vacation.
    Floyd Pac was similar to Ali Frazier 1

    Really I see this one rolled out a bit but the fact is Manny is a far great draw than Wilder will ever be so he had far more pulling power and more importantly more avenues to make money...

    These scenarios are not comparable..

    And Manny had close to the same earnings per year though Pac had 2-3 fights versus 1 fight a year. There was a foundation for Manny to demand a split given that Manny actually is/was at that time the 2nd biggest PPV star. Windmills on the other hand... not so much.

    Wilder couldnt draw flies to his own dump even if he was standing in a swamp.

    And why?

    He refuses to fight the top guys and lost his fans momentum while blaming it on his lack of fans. Refused to take risks expecting to be rewarded for having so many wins without a loss, well not on my watch.

    To be fair what did Joshua do?!? Oh he beat an old Wlad coming off a loss and long layoff who was 40 yrs old. I guess congratz AJ we appreciate you beating Wlad oh wait that’s Tyson Fury who beat him and relieved him off his belts sorry my bad

    Not the point this is mega fight I mean even Mcgregor is getting a better split. If it was me I would say **** it AJ get ranked by the WBC and becoming my mandotory. I mean he wants Whyte 2 fight anyways so it works out well for matchroom. Then when they announce we must fight since I’m the WBC champ I’ll request a immediate purse bid as I have no interest in Fast Eddie negotiations. What’s the split then 75-25 Wilder then?!? Sounds like a win-win for Wilder

    Jealously shows such poor form and has a terrible stench :lol::lol:. Im not a fan, not British, just a realist. Joshua is hands down the man at heavyweight, he has 3 belts, fights everyone and anyone, and makes 20-30 million a fight. People who try to argue otherwise just end up looking foolish. Wilder isnt even 2IC at heavyweight, he has fixed fights, avoids contenders like the plague, pulls out of fights, is never forced by the WBC to fight a top contender, has the WBC pull fighters from obscurity and rank them top 15 so he can fight them, and has to give tickets away for free just to have any sort of audience. Hes a very protected fighter for a reason, because hes rolls over vs Joshua after 1-2 rounds. If I were Joshua sending Wilder a contract, i would only pay him by the round.

    How would I feel if wilder told Joshua to become his mandatory? Correct me if I'm wrong, is that possible for other champ to become a mandatory of other governing body?
    I will be mad if they don't fight.
    I think a percentage split is fair somewhere between 60/70% - 40/30%.
    Although I do think Joshua holds all the trump cards, and can play wilder or drag this as long as he can.
    The only thing Wilder can do is preventing Joshua to become undisputed, as for the business side or in Hearn's interest, they can make a lot of money without Wilder.
