    Again, I have no problem with a Wilder vs Whyte fight, but a Wilder vs AJ fight is so much bigger. Wilder isn’t the best technical boxer and can definitely be beat, but he has proven recently that he has the length and a good enough punch to beat everyone out in his path so far.

    I think it’s such a huge missed opportunity to let a Wilder vs AJ match to slip out because one of them loses. Neither are really that good in reality and I wouldn’t be shocked if either got beat.

    Breazeale, Miller, Kownacki, Ruiz Jr are based Stateside, Povetkin, Pulev, Parker, Takam, Hughie Fury, even Chisora, as well as Whyte could all claim to be Wilder's 2nd or 3rd best opponent ever, take the alphabet away he really doesn't offer much more than these guys.

    Wilder is no different to anyone else chasing the Joshua money, that's why he will refuse Whyte for a career high purse because he knows he'll make 3-times that taking a 20% cut of AJ's loot.

    If Povetkin's team hadn't been so lapse in covering their tracks Wilder wouldn't even currently be in the picture.

    Whether or not you think Wilder isn’t as good as some other HWs, almost all boxing fans want the AJ vs Wilder match. That’s the match everyone wants. AJ isn’t a big star because he is so great but because he is a good HW from the UK that has the potential to unify the titles.

    When Floyd was earning a billion times more than his opponents he gave them what they were worth, they all got career high paydays but nobody got close to what Floyd took as he was the draw. Guys like Victor Ortiz brought a WBC title and top Ring rating yet didn't demand half of the $40 million pot, he took his couple of million dollars that he was worth.

    So saying AJ should give Wilder half of his money is silly, yet AJ is the "ducker." Ridiculous.

    Wilder is just another opponent for AJ, should he win the next man in line will become the fans/media favourite to dethrone him. AJ is a long way from being crowned an ATG yet. Long way.

    The difference is that Mayweather was at a whole other level as most of his opponents. Pacquiao was the only fighter that was truly demanded that he fight so Pacquiao was able to get a good chunk of the money because the people demanded the fight. AJ can take most of the money with any other HW because no other fight besides Wilder is that interesting. So for that reason, Wilder can demand more.

    The way boxing is today, it's not about being on a whole nother level. like Fenster said, it's about who is the draw. I'm not condoning it, but that's how it is. Wilder could make more money getting 40% against Joshua than he has made for ALL his combined career purses put together.
    If Wilder doesn't want that, Then Joshua's team can make many other fights that make him £20,30 or 40 Mill. Financially he doesn't need Wilder, but Wilder sure as fuck needs Joshua.
    The other thing is , If Wilder thinks he's worth 50/50 , and if he wants it in the states , no problem. all his team need to do is put together a better package for everyone than team Joshua is putting together.
    This is Boxing business, and the reason it is allowed to happen is because the governing bodies have basically sold the sport to the promoters and TV companies.
    The governing bodies ain't worth shit unfortunately.

    Pacquiao brought fortunes to the table against Floyd, hence Floyd made even more than normal, he didn't take a paycut or give Pacquiao a chunk of his own money. Pacquiao brought HBO PPV to join Floyd's Showtime, brought fans from all over the world hence inflated, extortionate ticket prices, not just for the fight but all manner of events surrounding the event.

    A fighters value is based purely on what he sells, not whether or not the fans think he "deserves" more/the same as his opponent.

    @primo has asked a better question than me - where is Wilder's offer to AJ? Why haven't they offered AJ $30 million to fight in Alabama? How about $50 million for Las Vegas? I'm sure AJ will gladly let Wilder have American TV whilst he keeps UK PPV, he can guarantee thousands of Brits flying to anywhere in the States, will thousands of Americans travel to London in support of Wilder?

    All Wilder has done is demand, demand, demand what Joshua must GIVE, offered nothing. He's not even Joshua's biggest monetary option (or arguably toughest competition) that is Tyson Fury by a long stretch. Should David Haye impress against Bellew he would become Joshua's most lucrative option. Povetkin has the backing of Russian oligarchs who have stumped up fortunes in the past to fund "world" championship events.

    How can you people seriously not understand the difference between a fighter making $2 million and $22 million (a conservative figure in AJ's case)?

    Totally agree. On Wilders right hand also. But no doubt they are going to milk this and very good reason HBO picked up Whyte vs Browne. Hopefully we won't see match strung along but things are looking up top guys facing off. Wilder and AJ can look to thin out the herd and definitely a fight that we need sooner than later. As long as Fury or Haye stay on the sideline I'm good .
