Doesn't anybody appreciate intelligent discussion anymore? Do we have to act like babies all the time?
Even if Joshua was ducking Wilder, that's his right. We have four leagues for a reason. So you can be the champion without having to fight all of the best fighters.
This is how the promoters want it. This is how the networks want it.

Hell they're doing that now because the king isn't chasing after the peasant.

also weren't these same type of fans just a year ago saying ggg only fights bums, i dont care who ducked him, he only looks good knocking out bums. now they are wilder fanatics.... its just a problem of consistency.
Floyd fans created this atmosphere of A-side/B-side, he marinated the big fight for five years, he fended off the best opposition with excuses, retirements, and straight up ducking, and he was the one who measured a fighter's greatness by their earning power. His fanboys gobbled it up and that became the new standard.
Now, they are back-peddling. Now all of the sudden Wilder's pay days are irrelevant. His attendance records are a non-issue, his quality of opposition isn't important.
If we are being honest, fighters fight for money. It's dumb for Wilder to turn down Whyte, who he can beat rather easily, for a $5M payday when you consider he only earned $1.4M to fight Stiverne. Instead, he insisted on $7M to fight Whyte. Really? If he wants $7M for Whyte, no doubt he prices himself out of a Joshua fight by insisting on half the purse.

Some people are ripping and blaming, which is unfair as he would have fought Povetkin and, if he'd won that one, Ortiz instead of Stiverne. Nobody should blame him for those fights not happening.
On the other hand, saying he has a shit resume and has beaten nobody worth a damn is just telling the truth.

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostHearn has a lot of sway with the WBC, but not as much as Haymon.
Haymon almost got Breazeale/Molina final eliminator status until Hearn went berserk and the WBC backed off.
Hearn gets his sway by being very good at his job .. promoting fights and making money. Haymon got his sway from having the key to a huge chest of investors money which has now been locked.

Originally posted by kafkod View PostAnd from that you conclude that Haymon has more sway with the WBC than Hearn? Seems like it's the other way round to me.
Hearn had enough sway to get the WBC to change their mind when he went absolutely nuts about it, but he wouldn't have had enough sway to get them to do something like that in the first place.
Mayweather made the WBC more money than any fighter in history under Haymon's watch. The WBC is the most loyal of the four organizations and Haymon definitely has more power within the WBC than Hearn has. But Hearn is #2 and Haymon & Hearn, who have a very good relationship, have worked together may times to help each other gain more power in the WBC.

Haymon's days as a power broker within the sport are over. Without that Waddell and Reed money he's nothing.
