Did I just read wilder priced himself out?
Wilder needs to recognize that the heavyweights overseas got the juice right now when it comes to that division.

Kerman Lejarraga Wins Decision Over Jose Del Rio in Spain
Undefeated welterweight contender KERMAN "The Revolver" LEJARRAGA (24-0, 19 KOs), from Bilbao, Spain, thrilled the crowd of over 11,000 at the Bilbao Arena, earning a dominant 10-round unanimous decision versus southpaw JOSE DEL RIO (27-7, 7 KOs) on Saturday night. Scores were 99-90, 98-92 and 99-91.
The victory by the 25-year-old Lejarraga, co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment and MGZ Promotions, was his fifth of 2017 as he closed this year's campaign in style. The win earned Lejarraga the Spanish welterweight title.
Stated Lejarraga, "It was a very hard fight. I spent 10 weeks of training camp working on my defense and I'm very happy with my performance. I'm growing with each fight and I'm ready for the biggest names in the division.
"I want to stay active and look forward to hearing what's next. I'm the champion in my country and highly regarded in Europe and want to fight the best anywhere in the world.
"I'm very happy with my performance and thankful for the support of my hometown fans. It was a great night for boxing in Spain."
Said promoter LOU DIBELLA, President of DiBella Entertainment, "Congrats to Kerman and his trainer Jesus Del Valle on the sensational victory in Spain in front of such a tremendous hometown crowd.
"The welterweight division in the United States is very deep with talent and I believe Kerman fits in near the top. I can't wait to have him return here in 2018."
"Kerman is a great fighter, he lives in the gym," said JESUS DEL VALLE, CEO of local promotional company MGZ Promotions. "He's the most popular fighter in Spain right now, selling over 11,000 tickets on Saturday night. Kerman is highly ranked in the world ratings and he's ready for the top names in his division."
"I am very happy for Kerman, he is a top contender and one of the best welterweights in the world," said MIGUEL ANGEL DE PABLOS, board member of the World Boxing Council. "With DiBella Entertainment and Jesus Del Valle, he has a great team and we are very happy to have him in our rankings. Kerman is going to be one of the biggest names in boxing."
Lejarraga is currently world ranked #6 by the WBA and #12 by the WBC.
Lejarraga made his US debut earlier this year on June 9, scoring a second-round knockout against Jose Antonio Abreu at Turning Stone Resort and Casino, in Verona, NY.

"I got this weird email from Eddie's email address, but he must have been hacked," Higgins exclusively told Sky Sports. "He made the most ridiculously low offer. It could have been the most insulting offer in boxing history.
"To expect 40 per cent is actually quite reasonable, because you have earned it, and it's a unification.
"Of course I have mentioned it [to Joseph Parker] and he just laughed like I did.
"I'm not going to reply, because I don't think it was Eddie Hearn. I reckon someone hacked his account, it was a scam. I reckon Eddie respects boxing and I reckon Anthony Joshua wouldn't want to insult Joseph Parker.
"Joseph has worked his way from the ground up and earned the right. Joshua, I think, would understand and respect that, so it can't possibly be AJ or Eddie that made the offer. It must be an email hack."
"I'll give you a simple answer. They pay us 40 per cent and not a cent less, or they will fight Wilder, who will obviously win and then we'll fight Wilder 50-50," said Higgins. "If they want to go fight Wilder, they can, and then we'll fight Wilder on a 50-50 basis later in the year, once he has all three belts.
"We will come to England and fight AJ, but 40 per cent is the bottom line and I can give my word now, not one per cent less.
"We have got several fights on the table and I tell you this, we have pretty much given up on Joshua. Assuming someone hacked his email, I apologise to Eddie, and he's welcome to give me a call. He's got my number if he wants to actually make a respectable offer.
"Joseph has earned the right. He's going to put it all on the line and deserves a fair payday. The terms they offered disrespect every kid in the world who wants to become heavyweight world champion and set their family up for life."

Joseph the 40 percenter Parker
these guys are tripping their ass off if they really won't go lower than 40
Fight Wilder for 50/50 split then
Cause we al know you coulda BEEN made that fight
Wilder aint gonna fight him at a 50/50 split either
Parker's last fight was on youtube only....and he was defending the Championship. He'd be lucky to get 40% split with Wilder.

He looking at a 25/75 split at very best
Team Parker tripping...dude aint even a draw in his country
We talk about Wilder's draw in the US, and he did 11k vs Bermane Stiverne, but Parker is Charles Martin level at very best when it comes to draw.....and even Charles Martin might've gotten a 55/45 split over Parker
