Did the demand for $7m show Team Wilder's naivety?

When you think about it, $4m to fight Dillian Whyte in the UK is a good payday. Deontay Wilder has apparently never made more than $1m? Correct me if I'm wrong, I read that somewhere. So what logic was used to demand $7m to take the Whyte fight? Most people would back Wilder to brutally KO Whyte in less than four rounds. I think a massive, career best payday of $4m would have been ample compensation. He'd have got the experience of fighting in AJ's hometown, that would be to his advantage to have a trial run. So why the $7m? Would this have been a Wilder decision or his team? I think there's video out there of Wilder being the one requesting $7m. Also, if you want $7m for Whyte, then how much do you want for the Anthony Joshua fight? You can't say "I'm the superstar and my going rate is $7m" for one fight, then ask for even more in the next fight. What Eddie Hearn was saying, take Whyte for $4m whilst building the AJ fight. Hearn knows Wilder wins but he's just showing loyalty to his own fighter. After that they could sit down properly and negotiate a big payday for the AJ fight. Instead Wilder and his team let their hand slip, showed they are mainly motivated by money.
