    Does that mean Wilder can start demanding money he can't make?

        And he still refuses to fight AJ for $28 mil?
        Man how much does this bum killer want?
        Any normal person should be disgusted by such behavior.
        It's the worst thing you can have as a fan in this sport.

          Just trying to figure how much he really wants,
          and how much he really deserves considering the majority and type of fights he picked.
          Won't your stomachs turn upside down if he was offered 50/50 in the AJ fight?
          Seems to me that's what he's demanding,
          plus the home advantage.

            Wilder fans are so desperate for an American HW #1 they ignore all that and are completely unreasonable. This is like if Canelo demanded 50% against Maywether in their fight, everyone would have said he's ****ing crazy. Wilder will never become a Canelo though.

                Probably $3 mil for fighting his mandatory Breazeale. Just don't know if they'll risk doing it on PPV.

                  Wilder has hundreds of thousands more US PPV buys than Joshua. Wilder is the A-side.

                    He's the A-side in non UK fighters, of course. That doesn't answer the TS's question.

                      Of course not as much but that says more about the dearth of exciting American HWs than about Wilder. Of the Big Three, two are British.

                      But Fury and AJ make great dance partners for Wilder because

                      A) They are considered the other two best fighters in the division
                      B) They speak ENGLISH, which was always Floyd's difficulty in finding that dance partner, as most of the guys his size were Mexican or Manny.
                      C) At least Fury has a great fight-selling personality. He can hold up his side of the promotion.
