Wilder fought Ortiz bc the network put pressure on him to fight a top opponent ,they initially refused to even show the Stiverne rematch. He didnt want Brezeale or Whyte bc Joshua already defeated them ,he also knew the circulating rumors when the fight was put on hold that Ortiz was around 50 so he changed his mind to look brave and he lucked out .
Showtime wasnt going to settle for unranked irrelevant fight to broadcast a HW champion , he could have fought Whyte when Stiverne was a mandatory last year but dragged that out for 7 months , Wilder didnt fight anyone he wasted over a half year on twitter prior to accepting an Ortiz fight turned Stiverne rematch .
Whyte is the number ONE ranked guy in Wilders OWN sanctioning body ,its irrelevant fight though ? Hearn doesn't think Whyte can defeat Wilder ,he wouldn't risk a fight of that magnitude of Wilder vs Joshua he wont see again .
Only an idiot thinks Hearn is trying to offset that fight . After the Ortiz scare hes going to push that fight which is why hes INVITING Wilder to be a commentator at the Joshua fight. The fight happening next all depends on Wilder NOT Hearn who doesn't make the calls ,its Joshua !
"The only reason Hearn wants to make Wilder-Whyte is to earn money for himself before risking his cash cow. "
Yea thats what promoters do right ? It could also be the Wilder fight is going to be a TWO fight deal and Wilder and Joshua fighting in each others backyard helps that cause, mainly bc Wilder is a fraction world wide to Joshua status .
