    Deontay Wilder made a statement with his impressive performance tonight. He's ready to take Klitschko's crown and bring back some prestige to the Heavyweight division.

    Doubtful.

    Stiverne had a HORRIBLE game plan and didnt cut off the ring at all. Really poor showing from him.

    But credit to Wilder, was very composed and put it on Stiverne

    Haha Stiverne talked so much **** about Wilder being a hype job and fraud and got his ass kicked for 12 rounds. He had nothing to say in the post fight interview because Wilder just embarrassed him. He went from talking **** to making excuses lol

    Wilder vs Fury and Jenning vs Klit next. Winners fight each other

    my first time to watch Wilder. Guy is impressive although he did seem to fade in the later rounds. He stopped throwing that jab with power, which is an amazing weapon for him.

    He's still a little rough around the edges but he definitely has some impressive tools.

    About to go read that, but initial reaction is that is just another excuse to not take the fight. What beef does Floyd actually have with Arum anyway? I thought he just wanted to be self promoted, so went on his own.

    Read more on why Floyd dislikes Arum. So Arum owes him money, but Arum says Floyd actually owes him (from advances or something I assume?). The amount of money to be made on this fight should trump this beef. It definitely sounds like a cop out to me, but that's juuust meee.

    Floyd still thinks he can get Manny to accept 40 million dollars, if I am reading between the lines. It's never been agreed that Floyd was willing to give manny 40 percent of the purse.

    If you listen to what he says carefully, he thinks bob is why pac won't accept 40 million. That's why he called pac himself, because he thinks it's such a GREAT deal for pac that pac would say yes in a minute if it weren't for Bob Arum

    40-60 split with 60% going to the winner.

    Wonder why two confident fighters with huge egos wouldn't take that deal if they think they're going to win anyway.

    A great dominating victory for "Bam Bam" Brandon Rios. He's back in contention for a big-money title fight.

    I still think Rios is not ready to fight Mayweather and he already lost to Pacquiao. So I'm guessing he can probably fight Amir Khan, Adrien Broner, Tim Bradley, Marcos Maidana, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Robert Guerrero, or Kell Brook

    Both believe they'll win the 60%. So I'd ask Mayweather/Pac, why the **** not?

    Pac offered it before.. 40 40 then 20 goes to the champ.. Mayweather didn't take it.

    I thought the latest was that Pac agreed to 60 guaranteed to May regardless of who wins?

    right, all the previous demands by Floyd are accepted by Manny. But now, chiken floyd has a new demand.
