4 mil, your biggest ever payday and you reject it.
Your so called promoter rejects it by stating who is Whyte? (Funny thing is Hearn said the same thing about Wilder in NY)
Whyte is a guy who has zero fear and wants it. Stop ducking him
that's just not logical.
we're in agreement that the money is good. 4 million is a lot of money. what we're not in agreement about is that wilder is avoiding the guy, when he's tried to fight much better fighters. he's trying to fight joshua, a much better fighter. signed contracts with two other much better fighters, but they failed drug tests.
Yes if he's turning down 4 to make one then it must be a good reason. The only one that can be made s that he's afraid of losing, You disagree, then tell me why you believe he would walk away from 4 to make 1.
It doesn't matter who you or i think is better, it's who Wilder thinks. He's avoiding that fight.
wilder does not choose who he fights, make no mistake about that. he's presented with options, not even from his promotor, but al haymon. why haymon is turing down that money i don't know. i'm not an accountant. not wanting to make eddie hearn a boatload of money without a garantee to fight joshua would be a start. i know that taxes in GB are high and that contractors who work there [like boxers] should be subject to them. but even then it's probably close to a career high payday, or a career high payday.
i've said all along that 4 million is a lot of money to fight dillian white, especially when you get a mil and little c hange to fight domestically.
but he signed to fight better fighters [they both took performance enhancers,] and wants to fight a guy that beat white up and is currentlt he best HW in teh world. explain to me why he's afraid of dillian white when he's willing and trying to fight better fighters?

So now Wilder doesn't choose who he fights? :GTFOH
You call me a fanboy when you come up with excuses like that?
Whyte has called him out and Wilder has been offered his biggest payday by more than double.
First of all, you don't know what Wilder actually makes because as an A-side, the purse filed with the commission is almost always going to be lower than reality to save on local taxes as well as saving on sanctioning fees (which are determined by the number on the contract).
Second, we do know that at a minimum, Wilder's biggest pay day was the $5 million he got from the canceled Povetkin fight.
Third, we know Hearn paid at least $5 million to get Martin to come over and Wilder is a much bigger star than Martin. So anything less than what Martin got is going to be rejected quickly.
Even if Whyte would be a career high payday (if we don't count Povetkin), it doesn't mean the offer is a fair split of the revenue. There's no reason to jump at the first offer when you know the promoter can afford to pay you more than that.

neither you or i can say that for certain, but it's not typical for fighters to choose who they fight. it's usually in contracts they have with managers [haymon] that they canntot. only guys at the very top can do that. even pacquiao was given a list of guys, wasn't given cart blanche rule over who he chose to fight. only guy in recent memory who did was floyd mayweather, because he signed a one fight deal with gbp or promoted himself, and because he was haymons biggest fighter and threw him a bone so many times fighting haymon fighters and they had such a productive relationship.
just explain to me why you think wilder's afraid. let's assume you are right and he decides everything regarding his career [you aren't, but i'll humor you.] why won't wilder fight white, when he signed contracts to fight povetkin, ortiz, and wants a joshua fight.
why do you think he's afraid of white in spite of the reality of his recent choices of much better opponents?
