The problem is that Wilder is in a very tough negotiating position. His last two disclosed paydays were $900K vs. Washington and $1.4M vs. Stiverne. Whereas Joshua's purses are in the $8-10M range. It's very hard to negotiate a 50/50, or even a 60/40 split in that situation. Golovkin was in that situation with Canelo, and I think he managed to reportedly settled for a 70-30 split. Golovkin is obviously a way bigger name than Wilder. I think when it's said and done, Joshua vs. Wilder will come down to a split instead of guaranteed money. It'll likely be similar to Canelo - GGG Something like 70-30 or even 65-35.That's a hell of a big difference in the amount of money these two boxers have been making. It sounds like Wilder should take a 65/35 split if it's offered. He needs AJ more than AJ needs him money wise anyway.
We have a very good, fast and reliable source of information right here called boxing scene top headlines. I don't take any news about boxers too seriously until I read it there. If it's news worthy they are right on it but they don't post it unless they are sure it is true.
