Comments Thread For: Joshua: If Wilder is Realistic With His Demands - Fight Will Happen!

[yammy25]

10 mil flat fee and 50% US TV.

[Alx.]

remember when fighters fought each other?

[Mrbamladen]

So when Floyd was getting $32M to Ortiz' $3M or Guerrero's $2M, no had a problem with that math? When Pac was getting $20M to Vargas' $2.8M everyone was good with that. But now you're going to defend Wilder deserving 50% when he only earns 10% of what Joshua makes per fight? Why should Joshua take a huge pay cut to fight Wilder when he can actually earn more money fighting almost anyone else? Face it, Wilder is nowhere near AJ's league in earning power. He needs to know his place and come to terms with that, unless of course he is using this as an opportunity to price himself out and duck AJ, which it looks like with each passing week.

Good point....but allow me to retort. Nobody complained about Ortiz, Guerrero, vargas, etc getting those paydays for two reasons. One... they actually made more than that due to ppv, merchandise, etc, and two..... none of those guys made fighting Floyd or Pacquiao a mega fight. That being the case, why would any of those guys get 50% of anything??? Joshua vs wilder is a mega fight and to suggest wilder should just be happy with whatever is offered to him is absurd. I'm sure you were outraged when Canelo offered ggg a flat 10m then 15m for their fight. Even though ggg never made more than 2m in his entire career. Yet it was a insult to low ball him for a mega fight. I'm sure you felt Floyd low balled Pacquiao with the 40m flat offer as well. So if Joshua is able to give a guy like Charles Martin 7-8m, and was about to pay pulev 5m...... how is the undefeated wbc heavyweight champ pricing himself of by wanting his fair share for making a mega fight???

I don't think anyone, anyone has ever suggest that Wilder should be happy with whatever he is offered. The way some posters were talking on here last week, you would think they promote, manage and are related to Wilder. Some of us mentioned this scenario to them but all they were concern about is "Ducking"

Fights like this takes time to make, someone like wilder is NOT takam who you can call on a months notice. This fight needs to be built to maximise the revenue, Why? Because everyone involve would want big money from this fight. Wilder said he wants the fight and was talking about ducking and dodging, but now the issue is about money?

Anyways Wilder would still make a lot of money and if this fight is hyped up in the right way then his % could be a lot bigger, but as of now i doubt he gets anywhere close to 50%.

AJ can make this fight happen if he tells his promoter he wants it point blank period. If AJ came out and said I want Wilder next let's make it happen it'll get done!! AJ is the star, the cash cow, the main event etc in the UK nobody is going to deny him from getting what he wants.

I agree ultimately it's AJ's shout.

This fight has got momentum right now.If they fought another opponent next and look bad or lose then it won't have.

They both stand to earn a fortune and the winner goes on to have all their demands met. The way it is with their belts ,unbeaten records and pulling power A.J. must get the lions share but it takes two to make a huge event and Wilder must get paid well for his part .Maybe 40%.

Yawl act like promoters.. why have so much concern about the split? AJ isn't one man shadow boxing in the ring.. Wilder will be in there too.. and will be AJ's most dangerous opponent. More dangerous than wladimir.. so he should get paid too.. and vegas has more money than anywhere.. so 50/50 here in America or 45/55 in U.K

I keep on seeing people say fair share. Do you know what fair share is? Fair share is taking out what you put in. Jsoshua is 10x the draw. So if you want to be truly fair he should get 10x the money? 20% is more than fair for Wilder.

Canelo made 13 million against Mayweather who made 100 mil+ nobody was crying that was unfair.

Wilder and Parker need to realise Joshua is the money man not them.

Wilder has never K.od any proven fighter yet in quick fashion unless you are counting 255 Stiverne out of action for 2 years . That would make you a fool however .

If Takam is a bum that doesn't say much about Wilder either does it ? Do you ppl even think before you post ,you guys truly are the least smart fans i have ever seen (no offense ) . lol
