“Look, (Wilder) is a baby winning the title. It was his first title fight, they'll be a time for unification, they'll be a time for all those things, he could go and Povetkin (the No. 2 contender) in Russia and make $10 million,” Finkel said to the Tuscaloosa News. “It's not the right thing yet. Give him a couple of fights, maybe bring something back to Alabama. Let him develop just like any other athlete. They don't take someone who is a great college prospect and throw him right in. And this kid is a great prospect.”
32 fights in his pro career up to 2015 and he's a "baby"...
Let him develop, he says...
Over 30 fights in and he still needs work?
I have no problem with a fighter progressing but when he then calls other fighters cowards and duckers and contradicted everything he says by his own actions , well he looks even dumber than his fanbase who acts just like he does !
Arreola was there because povtk juiced. joshua is big in the uk... i think wilder should go there, it would be epic. if aj doesnt fix his stamina issues wilder will KO him. who cares about ppv we just want to see the fight.
No Arreloa was there bc he MYSTERIOUSLY appeared inthe top 10 .
Stamina this ,Stamina that all speculation by ppl who dont know what their talking about . .....this fight aint going mid rnds .

The thing is Wilder talks more than fights it seems.
Other folks within the sport see some of the shenanigans that he has done over the years. This fight against Stiverne should have happened already. There was no rematch clause in 2015, then Stiverne found a way to be #1 contender with just one fight in two years. He talks about a clean boxing program when folks knew about Ortiz being part of that program and the WBA's program this year, but then all of a sudden Ortiz gets caught with illegal substances...
His actions have been questionable since winning the belt
man i just want to see the fight, both are titlist at heavyweight, its not like either can jump to another division...Just make the fight happen
Nope, I'm not asking ify ou want to see the fight, I am asking why you are now saying ppv buys is no longer a concern when you used it as an excuse for mayweather and pacqiao not happening and the negotiations into the fight.
LOL @ eddie hearns bragging about selling them 10 dollar paperviews in UK. Which in pounds is like 7 lbs. One 80 dolla mayweather ppv is worth 8x a silly UK ppv buy.

Lmao what is this?
Joshua PPVs are 20 pounds, that's about 27 dollars... don't know where you got 10 from. The thing is Americans wouldn't pay 10 dollars for a Wilder fight.
And since when is lbs a currency?
It's shocking that you edited this post and it's still false incoherent garbage.

we boxing fans all know what we saw, Joshua is limited with a mediocre defense and even worse stamina, he does some things good as well. none of these HWs are really complete but to act as if Joshua is just going to blow wilder away is crazy. u cant gas vs wilder
All the fighters available and they pick Chris Arreola?
A guy who wasn't ranked in the top 30 in the division?
from my understanding and I can be wrong... wasn't areolla a replacement opponent? maybe he could have fought a better opponent maybe nobody else was willing. he tried to fight povtkin who was ranked tho.
