The Wilder Excuses Begin

[palmerq]

Wilder would be silly to accept the first offers, he's gone from, "he should take on whyte for 4 million cause it's a career high payday" to being offered 12.5 millions to fight Joshua, not bad negotiating. Joshua and Hearn are saying they want all four major belts, good leverage for wilder, crunch time is coming of course as povetkin and other mandatories will be calling soon and once again the belts get split up... Good for wilder for not folding yet, he's risking losig out though but whatever that's the game :S

Speaking of Povetkin, Wilder just lost a $4 million lawsuit, that fight was meant go ahead, they knew all along about Povetkin's problems with the drug testers before swerving it at the last minute.

Dodging Povetkin was definitely the best move he ever made, wouldn't be getting $2m now let alone refusing $5m for Whyte.
