Screw that. I hope breland says no cuz somebody needs to apologise and i have a feeling its going to be mark and not the dicks that fired him off and locked him out of the dressing room.
Probably the first sensible thing Wilder has said since the the fight... I hope there was a personal apology to Breland behind closed doors for the nonsense conspiracy accusations.
Personally I think the apology should be as loud as the disrespect was. I’d ask for a public apology or I’m not going back.
there are times when fighters get beat and fire their trainers just because they are mad they lost like ggg for example. then there are other times when their trainer clearly isn't doing anything for them but they keep them like in wilders case. i dont get it
Not always, I remember when Canelo lost horribly to Floyd and people were telling him to drop his trainers and he refused. Look at that situation now. I mean, Wilder and his trainers got this far.
Though I do agree with others that Wilder should bring somebody else to oversee his camps and work on strategy.

why would you want to come back and train a guy who is obviously not listening to a word you say? he still has the same horrible style and balance he always has had. oh wait money? IM BACK!
What I'm afraid of is Breland staying but becoming another Yes Man.
I doubt it after all this
If he does he’s really selling himself short
I would not come back. I think his stock has risen and I think he needs to have some dignity. But to each it's own, let him do whatever he feels is the best for him.
I see where your coming from and your not off the mark
Then again , who knows what was said between them
Gotta recall Breland has been there from the get go
And I doubt he’d become a yes man
Not his first rodeo
why does he even have a trainer? like im being honest. they aren't training him to do anything. alright wilder you are going to go out there and lose all the rounds then land a right hand and win by ko got it?

Wilder might have kept him but has he in a passive aggressive way turned Breland into just another yes man on team Wilder?
Damn Deontay employ a dude who can stand up to your loud mouth over the top personality.
Geez man their would be alot of suitable trainers that could help in this rematch but I doubt if Deontay does anything different from having his family in his camp to letting his Ma make his meals.
The dude is a typically stubborn guy which will be his downfall.

good
Wilder made the right decision
Good! Breland is not the issue at all...however it wouldn't hurt to bring in another guy to help out during camp especially with technique and just overall strategy. Maybe get Lennox Lewis to come down to Camp to overseas things, maybe even take Big George up on his offer and let him come in a Mentor. It Can't hurt that is for sure.
Without Breland decision to throw in the Towel, Wilder would not be able to exercise his rematch option honestly and he would probably be in the Hospital Right now
Made a lot of damn money for this fight, invest some of it to get your Belt Back. New Trainer, Nutritionist need to get all of that now for his next camp
I appreciate Breland isn't going to turn down a 6 figure, maybe even 7 figure pay day but ****, Wilder called him a cheating traitor. I don't care how angry you are, that's an unforgivable thing to say. Ironically, I lost my respect for Breland when he suggested AJ's team will bribe Ruiz in the rematch.
That conspiracy BS is obviously contagious
