Wilder should take the step aside money...

Not arguing just curious did he not do the rematch with Bradley n pac man str8 away?? Can’t remember

I can't remember either but you're probably right. He doesn't like doing them though, prefers to build them up.
I remember him touching on the subject years ago and the numbers actually backed his argument.

He's been presented with the perfect way out... If he has any type of team around him, they will surely MAKE him take this route.

He gets paid a lot of money for nothing, gets to regroup and get paid more money to knock out a tomato can and get some confidence back and can quickly re-establish himself as the only threat to the winner of Fury-Joshua.

Taking two vicious beatings from Fury in the same year will finish his career... The way he is talking since his loss, he isn't ready to share another promotion with Fury let alone share a ring with him!

If Wilder is looking for the easy way out then I do agree with you. However if he is interested in leaving a favorable legacy he has to fight Fury again. Another loss to Fury doesn't harm his legacy as he could then retire with a record of 41-2-1 with 40 knockouts and the two losses would be to the same man, a great fighter who just happened to have Wilder's number (at least that is what people will remember). Let's face it, if Wilder chooses another path his legacy will be damaged. One more loss to Fury won't hurt his legacy and the financial compensation is better than step aside money. Losses to men other than Fury could keep Deontay out of the HOF while having held a world championship title for five years with a 41-2-1 record with 40 KOs and both losses to the same man won't.

Bring back mr marsh

Wilder and PBC have no choice but to take the rematch, it’s sink of swim. They cause this themselves due to the politics they played. Now that could bite them in the ass if they don’t win back the belts or try to.

Bring back mr marsh

Ooof!! That's kinda harsh lol

[OldTerry]

Stepping aside then hoping to face the loser? I'm not seeing it. Better to take another beating get another big check and go home to Alabama.

I agree and he'll be better remembered for doing it. He'll retire rich with a legacy:
World HW Title for 5 years
41 Wins
40 KOs
2 Losses which were both to a great fighter.
1 Draw
Hall of Fame numbers for sure

Yes it is in Wilder's best interest to fight Fury again and then retire.

Take that back yep proper harsh that.. harsh marsh failed!

Stop dreaming, he won`t get any "step aside" money if he doesn`t fight Fury again. Contract about Wilder and Fury fights doesn`t say anything about Joshua.

Except its being reported by various media outlets (ESPN and FoxSports) that Fury ISN'T REQUIRED to sign the rematch clause and its his choice to opt out.
