Wilder already said he'll accept any deal but AJ has to take the same offer in a rematch. Sounds pretty fair deal to me. What is eddie counter offer to this? lol

I think the devil is in the detail with Wilder's offer. He's not offering to take a smaller cut then if he wins he gets a larger one. He's talking about signing for two fights with AJ taking the larger share in the first and he taking the larger share in the second. So effectively 50/50, or perhaps, depending on how much business the result from the first fight drums up, even more to DW than to AJ across the two fights. Given the commercial disparity between the two there's no chance AJ will agree to this so effectively the fight will be dead in the water.

Let's be real, a second fight will only happen if Wilder wins. The same with Parker

NEW YORK Eddie Hearn respects Deontay Wilder's willingness to test himself Saturday night. Anthony Joshua's promoter questions, however, why Wilder would've embraced such a risky fight for "a lot" less money than Wilder would've made to fight Dillian Whyte in England.

pathetic Eddie Hearn putting Whyte on the same level as Ortiz. The delusional UK fans will buy this as always - when we all know that Ortiz destroys Whyte anytime anyday.

Man wtf are you talking about ? Wilder was the one saying he wasnt ready for klitschko yet at 30+ fights. Fury stepped with him in the ring and called his ass out. He is fighting Ortiz now...but he has definitely not been calling him out for years ! Only this last year has wilder started to call people out, mostly when they already have a fight scheduled tho but w/e...stop spreading bull**** lies that fit your agenda

Thank you for reminding me. He also has been calling out Tyson Fury too. He wanted to fight W. Klitschko upon winning the WBC title but Klitschko stated that Deontay had to start winning fights more spectacularly by knockout and subsequently wanted the fight to marinate first in order to get the public's attention and excitement.

Wilder has been calling out Parker, W. Klitschko, Joshua, Ortiz and Povetkin for years and guess what happened? They either turned him down or got popped for juicing

Wilder Will Not Be Rushed To Klitschko, Says Finkel
By Edward Chaykovsky
WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32KOs) is still very much a work in progress, says his co-manager Shelly Finkel. After last Saturday's world title win over Bermane Stiverne, the hype began growing for a fight between Wilder and WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Finkel, who manages Wilder with Al Haymon and Jay Deas, also works closely with Klitschko.
