    So, Wilder is a joke.

    Wilder is the people's champ. AJ can't run forever.

    By your circular logic a $10M offer to Wilder isn't egregious because it's """his biggest payday"""

    1) Wilder is also AJ's biggest payday. By far.
    2) This is a 9+ figure fight. Wilder at $15M is a conservative 15%
    3) Parker got 34%. Wilder has a bigger profile, #s & a more prestigious belt

    AJ was too scared to "hype" the fight. That's why he begged Eddie to ban Wilder in ring at the Parker fight. AJ walked away from the biggest guaranteed purse in history. As a prize fighter ffs. If A sides want fights to happen - they happen. Compare how long it took for Floyd v Manny to be made vs Floyd v McGregor.

    Has this fight (AJ-Pov) been signed ?

    Not a mention of it on Boxrec.

    About as close as he'll ever get to a ring with either of them.

    To help you see through your logical fallacy. "It's his biggest payday" is a Eddie Hearn talking point, not a valid argument. I can see why you think the way you do now though.

    For 2 fights. Eddie wants $15M / 15% of a $100M fight. And $5M for another.

    IDKY you're trying to argue about purses and contracts when you aren't up to date with the facts.

    Wilder accepted the lowball flat fee in the specific context of Wilder v AJ being next.

    All fights are not equal in value. Parker's specific number is irrelevant, his split is the whole story.

    I bet AJ shrieks for Eddie & security at the sight of Wilder

    The fight "could" be 100million, it also maybe less. Wilders drawing power is less than 15% of AJs. Love AJ or hate him that is the truth.

    Wilder will come around.

    $15'000'000 is 1000% of $1'500'000. $50'000'000 is 250% of $20'000'000.

    1000% increase vs 250% increase in pay, yet you want to claim "lowball".

    That is perhaps more likely than all of the above

    Breazeal vs Potvetkin next! Bring it on! Unless of course, one of them starts asking for choice of venue, media, 85/15, judges and a leafblower. At that point we will have to wait for the clash of the titans.

    He’s bigger and has the experience of being in with Joshua, he’s well skilled with far better boxing technique than Wilder. The main thing IMO is his ability to take a punch and get back up so if IF IF Wilder gets close enough to land his get out of jail, Hail Mary shot Breazeale just might take it and survive to win on points.

    You’d still have to favour Wilder but as you say if Szpilka, Washington and a number of other less skilled opponents can clearly outbox Wilder then Breazeale will have a real chance to upset the bomber

    There was no $50m, that was a publicity stunt, just like everything Wilder does. She never had any intention of fighting Joshua, just wanted tip piggyback off his name to build her profile. Wilder is a fraud, 40 fights and yet to make ANY attempt to unify. Laughable thing is that the belts AJ picked up, Wilder could already have had.

    The bomb squad will be there too. Just hope the bodybuilder has some extra security with him, when he makes the ring walk. It would be unfortunate if he were to come face to face with the devastating bronze bomber in the crowd, lol the embarrassment and shame, when he has to explain his cowardly actions, to the wbc champ!
