Wilder-Whyte - $3 million not enough. $7m? Pussy, Cockroaches, James Hunts?

[Fenster]

Just been catching up on the weeks boxing shenanigans, seen this fight is serious.

Wilder has turned down a career high payday to defend against Whyte. Now I like Wilder, whatever he lacks in boxing ability he makes up for being athletically gifted with exciting to watch sparko power and a vicious attitude, however, it says it all when a champion demands over twice his best ever payday to face Dillian Whyte. If it was Joshua or Klitschko fair enough, he's the underdog, they're mega-earners, he obviously deserves a slice of the huge cake.

But Dillian Whyte? Arguably his best ever opponent (not by much though) but surely if Whyte is the "useless cockroach getting sent to hospital" as Wilder says why is he demanding so much wonga?

Wilder probably thinks UK is a cash cow after seeing AJ v Wlad and wants a portion of the ppv money that sky/Eddie will be getting.

One reason and one reason only that Wilder has deliberately priced himself out of this fight and that is because he knows Whyte is capable of knocking him out.

Wilder is clearly living in a World where he thinks that US Heavyweights still carry some weight/bargaining power in the division.... those days died years ago and the big money is here in England.

Wilder has bottled it

Cops probably impounded his hoopty during the weed arrest... and he needs a new one... or Maybe hes still High..

So Parker doesn't have an opponent, Wilder doesn't have an opponent, Joshua doesn't have an opponent. Wilder is calling them out but we're talking about Whyte.

Meanwhile Loma doesn't have an opponent, Rigo doesn't have an opponent, Rigo calls him out saying he is not only willing to move up a full division, he is willing to move up more than a full division to make the fight. I mention this and not one person responds.

Do boxing fans have something against champions fighting each other?

It is one thing saying it, it is another to sign the contract.
