Do people genuinely believe this though? I mean real people, not the divs on Facebook and Twitter who call people casuals because they're a bit more pragmatic about the whole it's all Eddie's fault narrative.
For sure Eddie could have made the Wilder fight in a heartbeat (assuming Wilder actually wants it of course, shock horror). Just adopt the Charles Martin approach and pay way more than you want to achieve what you want, simples.
There seems to be no blame attached to Wilder at all, he is whiter than white in all this and a victim of Eddie's underhand tactics.
Like it or not, even if you take the poorest offer (the alleged flat fee) that Eddie made to Wilder and his people, he knocked it back. He knocked back the most money, for the best (undisputed) fight and in turn accepted less money for a poorer (vague grasp on the lineal title) fight.
