Isn't Whyte a ped user who was banned from boxing for being one??? Yeah....makes perfect sense for wilder to lose out on three fights in a years time only to waste his time with another ped user. Even better, this particular ped user doesn't even have a notable win on his resume that would even elevate the status of wilder one bit. In fact, he would be criticized worse than he was for szpilka, Washington, or even a mandated rematch against stiverne. In short, Whyte is a ped using scrub who Hearn hopes he can use to hold wilder off for a bit.

Yeah, in 2012. For using an OTC supplement he neglected to read the ingredients of before taking it. FIVE years ago. And I guess you didn't read the article. Nobody wants to fight him. Too dangerous for the 'elites' to take a chance with. Joshua fought him though, and Whyte definitely drew first blood and nearly dropped him. But he blew out a shoulder and eventually lost because he couldn't throw his money punch. Gee, sure is great to do actual objective research. Pays to be smart... cuz then you know shiiii.

Geez, you Wilderaholics never stop trying to protect your idol. Embarrassing the lengths you go to try to discredit ANY serious challenge to the guy. Wonder if you were so hell bent on any of those 30+ cans he fought?

Wilder is scared of Whyte because Dillian will turn up to win, unlike everyone else on Bum Squad's resume.

And they say Joshua is then one ducking lol, Wilder wont even fight Joshua's leftovers

Dylan who? Get in line ass hole. Wilder is after a real fight.

So who do you want him to fight if AJ and Parker are not not going to fight him within the next couple of fights? Name another fight other than whyte that makes more sense?

Your comparing apples and oranges. The 8 million to Martin was an investment in Joshua to get him a strap (and look how that's worked out).

7 million for Wilder to fight Whyte in a fight where Wilder would be the bookies favourite would be absolutely ridiculous and would literally just be throwing away money. Doesn't take much to work that out.

I see. So what your saying is that you absolutely agree with me and Hearn is just trying his best to keep wilder away from his cash cow??? I mean according to your logic....... Martin was given 8m as an investment in Joshua being champion. So if wilder can't get that much, it must mean that Hearn doesn't wanna invest in Whyte being a champion and he's only offering wilder money to fight Whyte to buy some time to save Joshua from wilder. So if this was a serious fight that everyone thinks Whyte could win easy, why not give wilder a million less than Martin and invest in having two champions in the same stable??? Nice try. But this whole Whyte bs is a smokescreen.

If Deontay Wilder and his people believe what they're saying, this should have been a career-best payday for them. According to Deontay he would make light work of Dillian Whyte. So why turn it down? Why turn it down and still talk smack about it on social media, as if you want the fight? Very odd behaviour. They're trying to cash him out in a monster payday and they don't want to risk that. Why take $3m now and risk losing, when he can make $8-10m getting pounded by Anthony Joshua on the same show?

Whyte is no where near the cash cow joshua is and wouldn't be anywhere near even if he had a belt. AJ could take a loss and still be a bigger cash cow than whyte would be with a belt. The martain comparison is dumb its like comparing getting a payday with floyd to getting a payday with spence or thurman.

[Mrbamladen]

the reason martin got so much is because he was fighting joshua who is a superstar. wilder would not be fighting joshua. he would be figthing whyte so bringing up purses for joshua fights is completely irrelevant. you are just creating a straw man by comparing things that are not the same. what you should be comparing is how much wilder makes vs whyte or vs stirverne. hmm lets see...

Who cares what wilder will make vs stiverne or Whyte. He wants to unify the division and not once has he ever said it's about the Joshua payday. It's about the belts. Suddenly, all the Joshua fans are crying about ppv, whyte, being a star in the UK.....blah blah blah. Wilder is the best in the division and he's ready to prove it. It's just sad that guys like Joshua can blatantly duck the unification fight and his fan boys will make excuses for him. I guess im asking...do you wanna see who's the best in the division, or do you just wanna see Joshua hold a belt hostage while taking meaningless fights for UK ppv money???

[JakeTheBoxer]

he knows his game, he plays it safe. He wants no dangerous opponent before fighting Joshua.

[Mrbamladen]

you dont understand how boxing works at all. money doesnt come out of thin air. where is the 7 million dollars for the wilder fight??? hes not on joshuas level of popularity. there isnt that much to give away unless he wants to lose millions but hes not roc nation. wilder priced himself out pure and simple. a guy whos career high is 1.5 is asking for 7 to fight whyte what the hell is that. you think martin would make 7 millino to fight whyte???

why would he have wilder fight whyte if hes keeping him away from joshua? why would he have wilder fight on the undercard and if he won that would put pressure on joshua to fight him. if he didnt want joshua to fight him he wouldnt have offered him any fights at all.

wilder usually makes aroudn 1 million plus a fight so him turning down this opportunity to put pressure on joshua to fight him, make the most money in his career, and against a mediocre opponent is puzzling.

Simple really. Whyte is a b level fighter who's done absolutely nothing in the division to warrant a title shot, he's a pawn for Hearn to leverage with, and most importantly....... HE'S A PED USER!!!!
