Class B Promotion
Dillian Whyte would do better to sign with a different promotor. I think matchroom are suffering from dis economies of scale and hence cannot do the best by all their stable particularly the ones within the same weight category.
Whyte vs Chisora II should never have happened in my opinion because Whyte had very little to gain and this was a lazy and easy promotion by matchroom. I believe it was heavily financially motivated to reduce the numbers for BT Sport.
In other words matchroom don’t have Dillian Whytes best interests at heart and their focus is AJ.
Whyte has plenty of fights he can take and earn a decent living by clearing up the B class opponents. However Matchroom would prefer pitching those B opponents against AJ to pull in the bigger numbers so immediatly there is a conflict of interest.
Why put Whyte in against a top B class opponent when they can put AJ there and get more money. Whyte requires better management and should leave matchroom for a promotion company that will support his ambition. In order to force his fight with AJ he needs to remove the other potential fights that AJ could make so in my view Whyte should forget AJ and go USA to fight Miller/Jennings or Pulev in UK to eliminate a possible future AJ opponent and thereby placing himself in the prime position for a title shot.Comment

They elevated their profiles, but not their wallets...yet! Wilder would've been a damn fool to accept a flat-fee, because AJ would've made damn there 90% of the profits of the event! that's why Manny Pacquiao never accepted a $40M dollar flat-fee from Mayweather. Eventually Pacquiao made $150M for the fight!

The games being played and why it means Joshua-Wilder won't be next
ESPN
Dan Rafael
If Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) wants the fight with Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) next, it sure doesn't seem that way, regardless of what he says. It's clear in the offer Joshua's promoter, Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn, recently made to the Wilder camp: a flat fee of $12.5 million, take it or leave it, for Wilder's participation in the fight.
Of course, $12.5 million large is giant money for most people, but for a fight of this magnitude, it is not a serious offer. If Wilder's team -- managers Al Haymon, Shelly Finkel and Jay Deas and promoter Lou DiBella -- accepted the deal, they would be committing malpractice on behalf of their client.
For Team Joshua to take Wilder as a $12.5 million expense without cutting him in for a large percentage of an event that could generate in the high eight figures is a joke. When Joshua faced Joseph Parker to unify their three belts last month, the Parker camp got one-third of the money in the event. Wilder is worth more than that, obviously; he brings the last piece of the undisputed title to the table, he brings a bigger fan base and, on his own, he generates more money than Parker does.
If Parker is worth a third, Wilder is easily worth at least that much and probably even a few more points. His side has stated it knows it's not getting 50-50 and hasn't asked for it, but to be offered a flat fee is not a real offer. It's an offer meant for the Joshua team to be able to run around and say, "Hey, we made an offer, and Team Wilder turned it down." It's called playing games, and it's nothing new in boxing.
A little history lesson: When we were bogged down in the will-they-or-won't-they nonsense of the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao saga, Mayweather at one point offered Pacquiao a flat fee of $40 million. That's monster money, but not in the context of that event. Pacquiao rightfully said no. When the fight was finally made, Pacquiao got 40 percent of the pie and earned well over $100 million.
Joshua-Wilder is the exact same situation but for less money. Wilder and his team would be foolish to accept such a laughable offer, and Joshua's camp knows it -- which is why, at this point, all talk the of Joshua-Wilder being next is nothing more than a game boxing fans are not interested in playing.

It's not the best idea in the world to say that there's a 20% possibility the show with AJ won't happen at Wembley stadium in April ....what's happening to the seven year plan.....what's the plan?Comment

Its just another hypocritical BS that Wilder put out on social media.
'Hearn is milking Joshua'
That's exactly what Wilder is looking to do. Its utter nonsense and I do NOT understand why so many people on here believe that Wilder is genuine and Joshua is ducking Wilder. It's beyond me!
The lack of physical proof to backup any argument by either sets of fans means that you have to go with logic. With the amount of times that Wilder has reversed what he has said (mainly because he is too dumb to maintain a lie), you just can't believe anyone but Joshua's camp!
I'm not saying that Hearn is squeaky clean and 100% honest, 100% of the time but he is vilified by so many on here but at least he has held up his hands when he is wrong, recently.Comment
