    Dillian Whyte says in the new iFL TV video that Eddie Hearn offered Wilder 4.5 millions and he turned it down.

    Wilder got 1 million when he fought Washington and his next fight against Stiverne will bring about 1.5 million. Whats going on with Wilder that he avoids Whyte like a plague?

    If true, then Wilder and his fans should be embarrassed.

    Wilder doesn't want to risk fighting anybody who has a chance to beat him before his eventual big money cash out vs Joshua.

    Why is anyone surprised by this move? Do people forget he turned down $10 mil from Povetkin a couple years ago.

    It's confirmed, Wilder thinks he should be getting AJ's money for fighting Whyte. Meanwhile he will go back to fighting the Molina's of the world in the back alleys of Alabama for 900k instead of making by far his biggest ever purse and fighting in front of a sell-out crowd on PPV whilst building the Joshua fight.

    It makes perfect business and progressive sense, the only reason can be is if Wilder doesn't fancy it.

    Wilder wants tailor made opponents. Idiot. He doesn't want to lose the Anthony Joshua opportunity and he wants to milk the mandatories right on the teets. I hope he gets KO'd by the next bum.

    Wilder's career plan: fight a few scrubs for 1 mil each, Joshua $20+ mil cashout

    Joshua has about 10x bigger fanbase than Wilder. Wilder should be lucky to get even 25% of the revenue.

    its obvious his handlers are looking at a payday worth tens of millions, because they dont have any faith in him at all. its a shame because he could have been brought along nicely. instead he is still an accident waiting to happen, hopefully it all backfires horribly and he gets starched by some lucky punch against some no body.

    Wlad had no titles and was able to split 50/50 with Joshua.

    Wlad enabled the WBA title to be on the line. He is also regardless of your feelings on him a legend in the sport. Wilder is as things currently stand a joke.

    Two massive names like that deserve parity. Wilder is a nobody compared to those two.

    It's a megafight though and Wilder comes in with the WBC title, if Wilder has good people representing him he should walk away with 50/50.
