Surely would make sense to ...get Pulev out the way and remove the IBF mandatory for later in the year...

It's funny, my first reaction was 'why bother' but really what else is there with Fury/Wilder tied up with one another. We know about Whyte & Breazeale & Povetkin & Parker (all previous AJ victims); not much about Miller; Ortiz is fighting Hammer; That really leaves only Pulev or Miller from the top 10.

I'm definetly not a AJ nuthugger ,, but it does seem to me , there all using his name and profile to get themselves a name and profile of his back .

Start with AJ - Wilder , how many times does AJ have to tell them if they want it they got it , at 60-40 , now since when does Wilder deserve more than that , he had one defining fight , got through on the skin of his teeth , then took o a big out of shape not fought for 2 years Fury , he lost in most peoples eyes , and lets have it right only took the fight because he thought Fury would be a easy fight , fast forward , he needs to do it again and redeem himself , but will he , they spoke at lenght how easy it was to make the first fight , but it seems the second fight is'nt so easy , Wilder all of a sudden wants the bigger purse and home town advantage AGAIN . Does Wilder really want the rematch , i'm not so sure

AJ - FURY ,,, well this one should be easier to make , a 60-40 split to AJ , is a very fair offer , a couple of years ago Tyson could'nt sell bugger all , after the Wilder fight he's more marketable and , worth 60-40 but lets have it right he's the challenger not the holder of belts , get 60-40 have a go at the belts , and then he can go offer 75-25 to challengers and still not make the same money has 60-40 with AJ will make .

Whyte , now here is a joke , he says he's being offered chump change , what the fook , he'll make more than he's ever made at even 75-25 , or 70-30 , whats he done , beat a ordinary not even trained Brown , couple of wins over the gatekeeper Chisora , win over a viking looking for a payday , , not excatly set the world on fire opponents , but thinks he's worth equal billing and 60-40 splits ,

Its really got me stuffed with these guys they don't want to be the champ undisputed , they want the champ money , win or lose , . If i was Hearn i would cut Whyte loose let him see if another promoter is willing to put him on PPV against a good opponent oRTIZ , pOLETVKIN , OR EVEN mILLER , , then let Fury - Wilder battle it out and see the losers stock go down , then over them a crack at the champ for 60-25 ,, Me thinks there all out smarting themselves with greed , but failing to remember AJ HAS THE BELTS

Yeah but boxing doesn't work like that.

Each fight is a separate proposition with its own value. What someone has earned before has nothing to do with it.

Eh? Of course boxing works like that.

No it doesn't.

You can't defend capping someone's wages for a huge title fight because they've never earned that much before in non title fights.

It's a totally different situation.

It’s not capping someone’s wages though, it’s just reflecting true market value (in fact, it’s actually generous in terms of true market value).
