My guess is he must not want Joshua. A win over Whyte pushes him closer to a fight with Joshua, which Wilder says he wants but his actions are saying something different. This fight is a no brainer. Pick up $5M, get some exposure across the pond, and build up an even bigger fight for a much bigger payday. This is almost as bad as when Haymon told Quillin to give up his belt to avoid a mandatory and at that time career high pay day of $1.4M to fight Korobov. Instead he went on to a draw with Lee and KO loss to Jacobs. Some of Haymon's biggest fighters aren't making more than $2M--Thurman, Garcia, Wilder, Quillin, Stevenson, and their careers haven't launched into the mainstream.

Originally posted by NahMean View PostWhyte will be getting 1.5 mill tops. Hearn is using him as a sacrificial lamb to promote Wilder to the UK market and to get buzz around AJ vs Wilder. Loads of people want to see AJ vs Whyte rematch.. If Wilder beats Whyte they'll all be asking for AJ vs Wilder.. If Whyte beats Wilder then he becomes a title holder and AJ vs Whyte rematch becomes a huge unification. Win win situation for Eddie Hearn.

Originally posted by SkillspayBills View PostIt's literally the fastest route to AJ. Even faster than beating Parker. He beats white in front of 10s of thousands, gets UK exposure, makes 5 ****ING MILLION DOLLARS, and sets himself up for AJ next year. Where I'd the negative in this?
He must realise struggling with guys like Washington he's reached his ceiling.

Unbelievable.
How is it that Whyte can offer unbelievable amount of money
and Wilder cannot? Wilder who is backed by the powerful Haymon, PBC and SHO?
In another area, Rigo got JayZ and Roc nation, yet he's also helpless
and would rather just tweet, beg, beg, beg...
Are these people just love playing victim?
What are fans missing?

I don't know how strict the WBC are about Wilder fighting mandatory Stiverne next but unless he has something huge lined up this is gonna look bad on Wilder if he turns it down...

Genius move by team Bronze-Bomber now Deontay has a precedent to tax Eddie Hearn in negotiations when its Joshua time : if you are offering me 4.5 for Anthony's leftovers its going to cost you around 20 million for A.J - I'm liking this power move, Eddie Hearn just got played.
