Possibly but I don't think Wilder thinks he can beat AJ and that's the root of the problem, Obviously that might not be the case but it would explain his behaviour.oogiebe wrote: ↑07 Jan 2019, 15:11Wilder could believe that he can take out Fury and create an even larger purse with AJ. Who really knows what these guys and their teams think.

Whether you consider those offers to be reasonable comes down to individual opinion. Personally I'd say $12m and $15m are hardly terrible for a man whose average pay is about $2m but Wilder is sensible to try to find out what more he can squeeze out of Joshua knowing how much AJ wants that last belt.
It strkes me as very odd though that Wilder would pass up the unification to fight a man with no belt for half the money when he didn't beat him last time and you've got to figure he (Fury) will be better next time.
The Joshua fight was always intended to be two fights UK followed by US. That's a hell of a lot of money !
That's exactly what worries me.
