    ah , so now all of a sudden you care about the money the fighters make...but only when its joshua and hearn that wants to make the money

    i thought hearn was all about capitalising on the moment and making the big fight asap before any1 suffers an upset loss, which is even more likely when heavyweights are involved

    aj is ducking the drug testing, why did aj weigh a stone heavier after hearn was quoted in saying that he learnt the lesson from wlad fight and will come in stone lighter for takam, peds make you put on weight especially around your gut.

      I don't think either is higher than about top 20.

      For example, Takam who's fringe top 10 would probably beat either quite easily, IMO.

          Whyte cant headline a show in uk

          Thats why his o2 show vs wach got pulled. Barely any tickets were being sold.

          If whyte wilder sold 300k ppvs at 25dollars a pop thats 7.5mil . 40% goes to cable provider so sky or ****** whatever. 10% to sky sports. We at 3.75mil. Im gonna be very conservative in my numbers. Lets say usa and rest of world tv rights over a couple mil. Total now 6mil. Ticket profits couple mil. We at 8mil total and hearn offered 3 mil.....hearn is hustling fighters bad ...and all he does is set up a press conference and send letters to sanctioning bodies....and feeds people bs

            you think hearn was trying to rob wilder by paying him 4 million dollars to fight whyte? is that really your argument?

            wilder only makes 1 mill a fight in the usa so i guess hes being hustled!!! by your own admission whyte isnt even popular so your argument that this is a big money fight and wilder is getting ripped off makes no sense at all. hearn was doing wilder a favor.

              Whytes biggest problem is that just can't close the show.

              This is a real issue in the HW division.

                wilder can definitely close the show and do so while tripping over his own feet and flopping around the ring like a dead fish. then strut around the ring with confidence knowing he just beat a crappy unranked fighter. we are all enabling this behavior...another trump repeat. rational people are all screaming hes crap hes crap hes crap but the fanboys are just becoming more entrenched and fighting back against the criticism instead of seeing the reality that hes a sh-it fighter.

                  Whyte by decision. He doesn't hit hard enough to stop brezeale.

                    Breazeale. That's how little I think of Whyte.

                      Are you seriously saying that about the guy who saw fights with Alexander Povetkin and Luis Ortiz fall apart when both failed drug tests? Not saying Wilder is going to beat Joshua or anything (his technique is terrible) but to say he hasn't tried to fight top fighters is ridiculous.
