What if Charles Martin was the WBC champ?

[Fenster]

Probably, as the step-aside money needed would probably be manageable. The IBF/Bob Arum/Pulev would probably accept $10 million (which is ball park what he'd make against AJ). The WBO/Uysk $10 milllion.

Martin's purse? Lets say $30 million (conservative estimate considering it's a fantasy scenario).

So $50 million in the hole before they start (less than half the $120m Wilder refused).

Yeah it's an expensive way to get 4 belts but they'd probably do it.

And then everyone would claim Joshua ducked Uysk and Pulev to face phony champion Martin.
