    Yeah, but between 100 million dollars and 900k there is quite a wide purse range. The idea that Wilder could fight four more fights and make less than two million dollars is not sensible.

    Wilder has brought and will bring any trouble on himself with those comments.

    Now as you know, I have slaughtered Wilder for the excuses, I hate excuses like most of you but I think we may need to be careful with Wilder.

    I laughed at the video, couldn't believe the music was real, thought somebody took the pee and added it to the video but now it's all calmed down and I've watched it again.. I feel uncomfortable with it all.

    Wilder doesn't seem right to me, I am not an expert or pretend to be some amateur psychologist but he looks like a man going through some sort of paranoid breakdown.

    He just can't accept the defeat, he is really struggling with it and it seems he hasn't got anybody around him helping him to cope, maybe he hasn't got that support group some fighters have and if he hasn't then that's quite sad.

    I personally don't want to see Wilder go off the rails, I don't want to hear stories about him having a breakdown.

    Regardless how you feel about him as a person, fighter or whatever I think most of you are very good people and wouldn't want to see anybody suffer and it looks like he is.

    Yeah I mean this sorta **** sadly will prolly make him more money if he continues fighting then if he quietly prepared and then got knocked out by fury again. There's a reason he dropped the video on fight day

    He didn't burn bridges with The Haymon yet, so his firstborn is still safe for now.
    Pretty sure we'll see him against a pushover early 2021, in which he will claim to be underpaid and complain about neither Joshua or Fury giving him a titleshot.

    Can you imagine how Wilder and Haynon feel right now, they were apparently offered 100 million (debated I know) by DAZN/Matchroom for a 3 fight deal.

    Breazeale and Two AJ fights.

    He is now out in the cold, will have to force a mandatory shot that will get him a mandatory split and that mandatory shot will probably go to a purse bid.. so he could end up having to fight somewhere he doesn't want to and without home advantage.

    And all that may not happen until 2022.. other mandatory fights first so it could be 2023.

    If that was me I would be absolutely gutted, he said himself in a tweet "you know I was offered more to fight Joshua".

    Wilder has been advised so badly I actually feel sorry for him in a way, then you think about the rematch clause expiring and it just looks so bad.


    Long way back for Wilder, very long way back, he will have to take a fight with somebody like Ruiz and that isn't easy, if Ruiz actually trains he is a handful.

    Mike Tyson bit a dudes ear off on live TV and continued to fight on for a decade.


    Do you understand how low the bar is for boxers to get fights? Jesus they’re even trying to bring Broner back. That alone should tell you everything you need to know...

    Deontay Wilder is defending his Royal legacy, with his access to power he already has access to all resources. A weak-wealthy peasant can be instantly separated from his "wealth" via many ways, but nobody can take the legacy of Deontay Wilder. That said its perfectly fine for a governed-peasant/citizen to be jealous and angry, they can take comfort in knowing that the pain will end one day, but Deontay Wilder legacy will stay long after we are all gone and forgotten.

    I'd like to see him have his license revoked permanently and sent to prison for a long stretch for crimes against delusion.

    He most likely will. Despite his nonsense, he's still a marketable American HW. That alone has traction. And being a POS garbage man has never really derailed anyone. Tyson was convicted of ****, Floyd liked to beat up women, Vargas and Canelo were busted for PED's, Oscar DLH paid off several women in **** cases to settle... and their careers went on.

    I wouldn't feel too bad for him. He made 90+ million over his last 4 fights and who knows how much of that DAZN money he even would have actually gotten with the financial debacle going on there. Not to mention, it's widely known Al takes very good care of his boys on the down low. Deontay is not a smart man, but fortunately for him, Haymon is.

    Definitely. Unique quality fights Fury I and Fury II and Ortiz I and Ortiz II definitely are the best fights world ever had experienced.
    Unique quality.

    :D poster in this forum. :D

    Of course no. Whiterspoon for 500k for example and Ortiz III for 1 - 1, 5m then some next fights for better money looks pretty realistic.

    Maybe vs Whyte this year?
