A question to the NSB hobby accountants and A vs B Side advocates:

Assuming this fight happens in the next 12 months in the UK and when looking at their respective numbers, what kind of split does Wilder deserve vs AJ? 10%? 20%? Flatfee of $3 Million? (which would be by far the biggest purse of his career)

[Poppo168]

Realistically he doesn't bring a big fan base at the moment, he needs better promotion, better fights & better numbers to put this fight on the map.

It's a big fight right now amongst boxing fans but worldwide wouldn't be that big, Wilder needs to build his profile a lot more.

I'd say about £9 million would be fair seen as Charles Martin got £6 mill & brought even less. But you could argue less because Wilder hasn't made close to that in his career (except for in court against povetkin)

[Raonic]

I think 30-35% works. Joshua is the much bigger draw in UK. It actually looks like a ton of money to give him 35% but in the grand scheme of things, you have to give him some excess to make the fight happen.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Wilder has Al Haymon so he will get the best deal possible whatever that number is.

[GGG Gloveking]

Offer him a flat fee and if He doesn't take it, he's ducking doe

[mathed]

3-5 mill sounds like a deal.

[BrometheusBob.]

He probably won't be able to tell Hearn to give him much a % of the UK PPVs. Perhaps a strong % of US PPVs though.

This is one of those situations where I just have no idea what the appropriate $ breakdown is. Wilder usually does good viewership numbers so he'll get something good but he isn't the A-side doe.

[DeadLikeMe]

Charles Martin got £8 mil didn't he? Wilder would get more than that.

Charles Martin got £8 mil didn't he? Wilder would get more than that.

Charles Martin got how much! You for real?
