A win against Molina should get Breazeale a fight against Whyte, not Wilder. Granted Whyte put on a poor show against Helenius ("are we not entertained?" no we ******* weren't), but fighting the number 12 Molina should not be an eliminator for anything.

Aside from Stiverne, Wilder's opponents have been fighting for peanuts - 100-250k, and that's for title defenses.. Washington got the best deal (250k) because he's a Haymon fighter. Breazeale reportedly got close to a million for the Joshua fight. I would not be surprised if Hearn's offer to fight Whyte was around 500k ("substantial" according to Hearn), which would be more than what he would probably net from both the Molina and (potentially) Wilder fights. I would guess he's fighting Molina for around 200k. Plus, if he beat Whyte he would have still gotten the Wilder fight. I think besides having too high expectations (after the Wildrer 4 million offer) Breazeale was just stopped by Haymon so they can set up the circus with Molina.Originally posted by juggernaut666 View PostComment

Hearn said substantial. And Breazeale said not even in the ballpark. Said he was surprised at how low it was. You choose to believe the promoter.Originally posted by nixxter View PostComment

To be fair to the WBC it is a step in the right direction over how Stiverne got to be mandatory. At least Breazeale is having to fight someone ranked to gain mandatory status. Even if it still falls well short of ideal they are at least getting closer to the mark.Originally posted by Wibble View Post

rules are rules.. and the rules do stipulate for whatever bull**** reasoning that breazeale has his right to a final eliminator..
The only problem is that a final eliminator oppopnent should be someone worthy of that and Molina simply isnt. His ranking isnt even worthy whether or not someone feels personally he may or may not be.
Funnily enough, he's a Don King fighter...Comment

It's just my guess based on the information available. Considering how much he got for the Joshua fight and the 4 million offer to Wilder, I think Breazeale has a different opinion to Hearn on what substantial is. US (and not only) fighters seem to think Hearn should automatically offer them a few times more than their usual purse.Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostComment

Dude why u keep saying was no contract it was stated numerous times in every article the conditions of stiverne stepping aside for wilder/Ortiz to take place, because it doesn’t fit your narrative you keep mentioning about contract like we see any contracts fighters agree to lolOriginally posted by nixxter View PostComment

Maybe. Either way he said it wasn't even in the ballpark. And so he moved on. End of story. But I'm glad we're sticking with facts. Saw some posters on here conjuring up some nefarious schemes that reeked of the usual BS that gets regurgitated among boxing circles.Originally posted by nixxter View PostComment

I said "no contract signed" meaning I don't believe there was anything signed/finalised on Breazeale's side. When the Stiverne fight fell through Breazeale started negotiations with Hearn to fight Whyte on Joshua-Takam's undercard. Only after that came the Breazeale-Molina talks. And whether Stiverne actually signed anything, be it a step-aside agreement and/or a separate agreement to fight Breazeale, we don't know. But considering how Wilder-Stiverne II was officially announced and later we learned Stiverne hadn't even yet signed the contract, and it took him a couple of weeks to do so, makes me have my doubts.Originally posted by SchoolTheseCats View PostComment
