How does Wilder deserve 40% vs AJ, if his career high is $2,1 million?

its pathetic and distasteful here it is we want the fight and cant even discuss it without being bombarded with all these damn numbers. Yeah, You would think this was a boxing forum, But it's not. It's a financial planning forum.

You make A LOT of threads about how much each man is making. Why don't you make any threads about who would win the bout, why they would win, and the strengths and weaknesses of each fighter? Is it because you aren't actually a fan of the sport and don't want to see the best face the best? its pathetic and distasteful here it is we want the fight and cant even discuss it without being bombarded with all these damn numbers.

His belt is what makes it a big event. Its the final unification for all the belts and only one man, aj has made that happen.Wilder has never tried to unify, just stay in alabama fighting bums. If wilder was the draw he would be selling out stadiums and 100 thousands of PPVs. But he cant sell shyt on his own. Wilder needs aj, aj just needs bumsquads belt. ok great, do you want to see aj fight wilder next? and if so who would win? drawing power doesn't win fights. not sure why fans are so interested in bringing this up I just want to see the fight I don't think anyone is arguing that aj isn't the A side and doesn't sell more but who gives a sht?????? LETS DEMAND THE FIGHT!

I'm curious on how UK fans negotiate to get a raise "Boss, I think I should get a raise...but I've never made more than fifteen quid an hour, so I don't think I should be paid more than that, regardless of the work I do."

Joshua should get the bigger purse but Wilder is part of making it a big event. He should be compensated properly. It's like the argument people made about Pacquiao not accepting Floyd's initial "flat fee" with the notion that it was Manny's biggest payday. When all was said and done Manny ended up making more than double that. Same applies here. Joshua deserves the bigger share considering what he's done as far as sales but he and Wilder fighting will get major Commercial notoriety across the board. His belt is what makes it a big event.

Yes, because previous purses alone don't determine how much you'll make in your next fight. You pay him based on how much he contributes to the fight making money. If paying Wilder appropriately gets him a lot more than he has before, that doesn't mean it was undeserved.

they need to make a new ea boxing game, but instead of career mode you just play as the promoter. lmaoooooooo man

fans should demand the best fights not argue about how much money a fighter gets. u all should change your career to promoters if this is the case. They need to make a new EA boxing game, but instead of career mode you just play as the promoter.

Hearn ain't dumb. He'll push Wilder into a corner by getting his other Heavyweights made mandatory (e.g Whyte). If that happens then he'll have to fight in the U.K for a much less purse and face the risk of getting KTFO by Whyte. I think David Haye gets back in the mix if he despatches of Bellew next month as well.

some of us care about other people than ourselves. i understand thats a concept that some people might struggle to comprehend, but we do. fighters work crazy hard and risk their health to entertain us, the few who rise to this point deserve to make a lot of money and be set for life. especially someone like wilder who got into the game to provide for his sick daughter. you write jesus christ, what do you think jesus christ would want? i reckon he wouldnt be much of a boxing fan, but i also reckon he wouldnt want to see fighters get ripped off. teachers dont share their salary with me either, i still get upset that they get screwed over financially though. I'm happy you care so much about complete strangers who likely don't care about you. It's very big of you to care so much of if he gets 50% of millions of dollars or ONLY 40% of millions of dollars. That's much more important than the actual fight carry on.

why the **** do fans care what a fighter takes home now? jesus christ, he isn't gonna split it with you some of us care about other people than ourselves. i understand thats a concept that some people might struggle to comprehend, but we do. fighters work crazy hard and risk their health to entertain us, the few who rise to this point deserve to make a lot of money and be set for life. especially someone like wilder who got into the game to provide for his sick daughter. you write jesus christ, what do you think jesus christ would want? i reckon he wouldnt be much of a boxing fan, but i also reckon he wouldnt want to see fighters get ripped off. teachers dont share their salary with me either, i still get upset that they get screwed over financially though.

How does Wilder deserve 40% vs AJ, if his career high is $2,1 million? Meanwhile Joshua made 20 millions per fight against his last 2 opponents. Wilder must accept the B side he is & cut his appetite... and fly to UK. That's how modern boxing works these days. Why do you care how much either fighter makes? Do you get a cut? Now, serious question: Do you or do you not want to see Wilder vs. AJ as the NEXT fight for both men?

Why bother about the american scene if he is making more in UK? If Wilder wants to break on the English scene he needs to fight in UK. Boxing is no longer dominated by Americans. It is a new era.. Like Bob Dylan said "the times they are a changing." There is more money in the U.S that's why, there are 350 million people here as opposed to the UK's 50 million and tons of sponsorship deals. At one point Mayweather wasn't making Mayweather money, at one point Pacquiao wasn't making Pac money, Alvarez wasn't making Alvarez money etc. International stars can and do come here and make more money than they can anywhere else.

He doesn't, Wilder is a B side nobody. He's not a nobody delusional fool. Joshua just fought a much less decorated fighter yesterday you fkn dunce

He doesn't, Wilder is a B side nobody.

AJ can't get from point B to A without Wilder that's why, he NEEDS Wilder to take over the U.S. Wilder is much more popular than every single one of AJ's opponents. If AJ wants to break onto the American scene he needs to fight Wilder, here in Vegas.
