Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Don't Need Whyte; Hearn Needs To Offer Me $7 Million!

[RapidSon]

Dont wanna see that fight anyway STILL..Wilder call Parker out!

[MDPopescu]

yeah which more than half went to lawyers and the promoter

... Ryabinsky didn't pay shit (as I'm aware...)

[Randall Cunning]

Wilder got $900,000 vs Washington...
Instead, a federal court from Manhattan awarded him $5 million vs Povetkin...

(Hearn must be very attentive when signing whatever contract with Wilder... )

How does that work though, is it symbolic? Couldnt Povetkin just tell them to "**** Off I aint paying" and just not fight in the US again? Who went over to Russia and got the 5mil?

It's "strategic"...
as I said above: Ryabinsky didn't pay shit...

(but one should be very cautious when signing a contract with Wilder -- he seems not to be after fights; he's only after the money)...

[thack]

Doesn't make much sense about the money as he obviously doesn't want Whyte messing with his A.J. bonanza payday but the interesting thing is he is afraid of a guy whose claim to fame was being bounced around by A.J. and barely scraping out a win over Chisora

..Wilder call Parker out!

Good point!!!
He should, but I don't think JP wants it, is ready for it, or will do well in it. Wilder takes his belt.

If Wilder had both belts there's no way Hearn or AJ could brush him off, the world would be begging for it to happen.

Wilder and his team are a bunch of idiots...so many fighters think they are "businessmen" meanwhile take them away from the ring and the gym and most would be hard pressed to learn how to do anything else...in Wilder's case I suspect he would have a hard time working at a McDonalds...This fool is already 32, at 38-0, he has never had one signature fight. He has never been in a PPV. Wilder has never faced a heavyweight who has a "big" win on his resume...If this fool, and I call him that based on his quotes which make no sense and just make him look even more ****** would realize that by going over to the UK to fight Whyte, it makes the AJ fight [ and Wilder's payday ] even bigger. All these phony "businessmen" do not know how to earn a big payday, they just want to get paid , while professing money is the root of all evil. If no brains Wilder decapitates Whyte , which most of his fans believe is the case then this would really build the interest and the dollars...or he can just book another fight with Duhappas and keep selling 8 thousand seats in Alabama arenas.

I really think he should try and get the Parker fight, problem is Parker is going to ask for a lot of money, just like he (Wilder) is doing now.

[MisanthropicNY]

"[A]ccording to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Wilder’s purse is $1 million while Stiverne's is $910,000." A dude making $1 mil is criticizing making triple when he has no other options in the U.S. to even make more than a $1 mil against.

Didn't realize Wilder was Mike Tyson all of a sudden.

Grab the $3 mil... KO Whyte and then move on to the big money fight with Joshua at Wembley. Fking wanker.

... at least Parker doesn't hold a windmill and he can't put VADA to track you down because you're on aspirin...
