It's all about having a bit of common sense and seeing it from the fighters point of view.

They used to do this crap with Ward as well. I guess when the Houston Astros won the pennant we should have seen the California Angels play the Dodgers for the world series because...it makes more financial sense to keep the contest on the same coast and the Angels break attendance records consistently!
guess at the next Super Bowl one should expect to see the two most financially lucrative teams play because it makes more sense...
Boxing fans are brainwashed when they choose to think like morons. Which is why we get fights with over weight contenders, instead of the best fighters against each other.
Sometimes kids say it better. No kid in his right mind that I know would tell you that a heavyweight championship should be based on financial sense. Kids know better.

First off, there is nothing clear about Wilder as the number 2 guy. On top of all that, outside of hardcore boxing fans, no one in the UK knows Wilder. They do know Haye, Bellew and Fury.
How could that be remedied? If Wilder had fought in the UK against Whyte for his biggest ever payday. He didnt want that and I dont care what the reasons are.
Now? Well going in 2018, AJ has 3 potential opponents who all bring more money to the table (Fury, Haye and Bellew). One of them, Fury, brings more of a legacy too.
Outside of that, stands Wilder, who is an icon in nothing other than his mind and showtimes schedule. He can get it but he is no more a priority than Parker and that too, because of the belt.
Personally, I say make it happen asap so AJ can KO him.

Boxing history is written in the contests of the best versus the best. Even crooked King knew this was true and would try to make those fights that mattered. Fighters want to be the best! To be the best you have to fight the best! It is management and trying to be lucrative at the expense of the sport that is the problem.
