Eddie Hearn: Deontay Wilder turned down £10million!

Do you believe that? I sure as hell don't! I think he left out & meant 10mil with whyte & AJ combined....lol You believe everything Wilder says. Why dont you believe an actual promoter who makes good fights happen?

Why accept the 1st offer??? GGG and Manny got a pass for this yet the same posters attack Wilder

Imagine the regret if ortiz beats him.

The usual weirdo Americans are out in force claiming that the number is too low. Wilder gets paid a Mill dollars you nutcases. £10 Mill is massive. You have no idea what Wilder gets paid. When a fight is this big, it's a percentage split, not a flat fee. If Parker got a percentage, you better believe Wilder will too and a higher percentage at that.

Lowball offer which fools people who dont wanna do some basic math Hearn is a hustler He hustles fighters And you actually have people who are fans of him i actually despised hearn for some reason as well..but as it turns out a good friend of mine who i respect dearly and deals with hearn all the time now, actually told me hearn is a really good guy.. i was shocked to hear it, but because of it i have changed my tune towards hearn.

Razordork meant to say that GBP told GGG & Loeffler, ''fight Jacobs and then we'll give you Canelo, all for 10 million inclusive contract, because we promote Jacobs too....'' B*tchLester must of forgot about the 10 million offered to lil g, even if it was a flat one.... http://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-ggg-fight-canelo-keep-making-what-he-makes--113835

Hearn isn't necessarily a liar in my eyes, he just withholds information. I'm pretty sure 10mil for Wilder to face Joshua isn't a good offer numbers wise based on percentage. That's the biggest fight in boxing RIGHT NOW. Yes, I think Wilder vs. Joshua is BIGGER than GGG-Canelo.

10 million dollars to Wilder, for a over billion dollar fight is a joke. This fight is going to be huge, to of the best heavy weight fighters of this generation both with massive KO power going at it for all the marbles, with each fighter big in their own country fighting for the titles, will be huge Because people haven't seem a great heavy weight fight in years and with both men having that kind of power will generate billions book it, with sponsors and PPV, and the gates, they will be generating billions of dollars. Both boxers shouldn't take no less then a 125 million dollar split the first time around and the rematch should be a 150 million dollar split, otherwise they are getting cheated. Then fight 3 they should get Floyd and Pac money, 250 million dollar or a 200 million dollar split, they are probably going to charge 100 dollars for this fight. 50 million for Wilder and 75 million for Joshua, If the fights in England and If the fight is in Vegas vice versa 75 million for Wilder and 50 million for Joshua Then move the rematch to England, home team gets the bigger split. I wouldn't take that money they are offering right now, he's just low balling Wilder because he's trying to say no one knows who Wilder is and that's not true European fans of boxing know who the big boys are and other less known fighters they love their boxing and drinking.

The usual weirdo Americans are out in force claiming that the number is too low. Wilder gets paid a Mill dollars you nutcases. £10 Mill is massive.

£10 million is about 25% of the purse. The problem people don't seem to realise is that the purse is being split three ways. AJ/Hearn/Wilder.

Offering a flat fee for a big fight is always a lowball. Pacquiao rightfully snubbed Mayweather's flat fee "offer" and Golovkin did Canelo's too, and in the end they got the purses they deserved once fan pressure finally forced Mayweather and Canelo to negotiate in good faith. Joshua and Hearn have made it clear that Wilder isn't next so anything they offer right now is hot air I agree, to an extent. For big fights, B Sides shouldn't take a flat fee. However in this case, I think the offer is really not bad. 10m quid is $17.5m, and Joshua is not Canelo. What has been AJ's highest purse, $15-20m? It's not gonna be much more than that, and Wilder wont get 50%. In best case scenario if we assume that this fight generates $50M, and Wilder gets 50%, that's $25M, assuming they split all profits equally (usually not). I think realistically, this fight generates ~30-40m and Wilder gets 40%. If he wants to insist on a split, I wont hold it against him though. Hearn isn't saying it's a flat fee or nothing doe and he isn't trying to get Wilder to agree terms for a fight 18 months down the line. Oscar tried both with GGG.

First it was 2 then 3 then 4 then 7 now 10? He offered him 1 billlioonnnnn dollars.

That wasn't an offer to fight GGG next doe. It was for a fight over a year down the line. Big difference.

I've seen this before. Pretty soon it'll be £15M he turned down

As usual the usual suspects are leaping to Wilder's defense and dismissing everything yet when Wilder posts a video on social media talking nonsense it's gospel doe. Yeah never has a fighter barked and then gone hiding when a bluff is called. If this was the exact opposite way around this place would have about 100 threads of how AJ is a punk and Wilder has proven himself as the undisputed champ.

I agree, to an extent. For big fights, B Sides shouldn't take a flat fee. However in this case, I think the offer is really not bad. 10m quid is $17.5m, and Joshua is not Canelo.

I think realistically, this fight generates ~30-40m and Wilder gets 40%. If he wants to insist on a split, I wont hold it against him though. $17.5 millions is serious money stand is really fair as long as the fighters pot is not more than $50 million. The thing is though if the fight does more than $50 million in what the fighters total pot is both guys should partake. That is really not a hard thing to do though and it is an obvious move because if you offer someone a flat fee there is no incentive to sell a fight and 17.5 million is a lot to be paying a guy to not really sell a fight. There needs to be incentive for the other guy to really help sell the fight which is needed when talking these kinds of numbers. That sort of thing should be no issue though because that means the fight did insanely well, it should not be hard to have provisions for if the fight does insanely well. Plus this is being really simple about it because there are a lot of parts that would have to be in that deal, because the revenue split would be heavily dependent on where that revenue came from (with Joshua taking the lions share of the UK and Wilder maybe getting the higher split in the US revenue).

What are you taking bout? lil g turned down 10mil from golden boy last year.... you didn't understand my point. goodbye

Hearn talking bull

Lowball offer which fools people who dont wanna do some basic math Hearn is a hustler He hustles fighters And you actually have people who are fans of him LOL what does that make Deontay then? When he's asking for 50/50! All Wilder's spoken about was he wants the chance to prove he's the best and create a legacy. 50/50 isn't a even starting place for these negotiations because its so far off. For someone who's supposedly so desperate for the fight, 50/50 and won't budge suggests Deontay and his team don't want to negotiate.
