Will Wilder fight Fury/Joshua next or duck?

You're assuming Fury would accept the same split. Maybe Fury isn't that interested in an immediate rematch so Fury says 60-40 split in my favor for Vegas or 55-45 in my favor in the UK. Then Wilder would make a lot less. Wilder and Finkel dropped the ball making it public they only want the Fury rematch. Fury now is in a great position to negotiate a great split because Wilder ruled out the Joshua fight.Comment

I think he'll duck. He knows he'll likely lose to both. So logically he'd go with whoever paid the most which is Joshua, but he's ruled that out. There's no reason to choose Fury and lose for less. He's going to duck both and run around with his paper title claiming to be champ.Comment

If it was Hearn would go on about how much the gate receipt was instead of attendance numbersComment

After the Fury fight, his team will be advising him to take the highest purse against Joshua. From a business standpoint, a Fury rematch is last on the agenda.
The only way the Joshua fight doesn't get made is if Wilder outright refuses to face him, in which case they'll advise him to reconsider, then he'll be told that Fury is unavailable, then they'll let him know of the $20-30+M difference between a Joshua and Breazeale fight.
If Wilder's spite is strong enough, he'll take the Breazeale fight. If he can be reasoned with, the Joshua fight is up next.Comment
