Wilder v joshua

Wilder signed to fight Povetkin and Ortiz. They didn't meet the obligations. He deserves and we the fans deserve to see this fight ASAP. He has earned a decent payday so give it to him and let's get it on.

[Outwest Exp 355]

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.

Mayweather also is the bank. How much money is AJ going to invest in this fight?

[thack]

Just make the fight ....NOW!

60-40 A.J. and nobodies streaming this one!

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

This is the problem with you delusional AJ fans. Let's reverse the role for a second. Imagine 3 - 4 weeks ago when Pulev pulled out, if AJ had stated he would fight Stiverne and Wilder stated he would fight Takam, most of you pathetic fans will be the one saying AJ is fighting a former world champion while Wilder is fighting bums.

Now, should AJ have knocked out Stiverne in 1 round as Wilder did, but Wilder knocks out Takam in 10 rounds, you will have gone ahead and said AJ did better than Wilder by knocking out someone Wilder couldn't in 1 round while Wilder struggled with a bum. You see how ****** your logic sounds now?

As long as AJ fights someone, that person is not a bum. Wilder fights the same person - he/she is a bum. If Wilder had gone 12 rounds again with Stiverne, you will have said he has not improved since his last fight.

Thats bc only a fool would think Stiverne out for 2 years is going to be more durable than Takam who is a proven fighter by who he has fought as well . If Wilder fought the very tough seasoned Takam you would have got the better fight by someone who isnt just limited coming forward .

He actually moves around the ring is defensively savvy first ,how would Wilder have done on 2 weeks notice against him? My guess he doesnt get a 4th rnd knock down and win every rnd at least not without panicking and yes a SAME opponent is a way at times to compare skill levels ( According to you ...Wilder hits harder than AJ by quite some margin ) ? lol .

But Joshua fighting Stiverne wouldn't have really mattered bc then YOU guys would have called him fat and rusty right ? lol

But i guess these are all the minor things you dont have the capabilities to grasp?


And trust me when i tell you NO Wilder fan should be using the word "DELUSIONAL " on here ! They should stay FAR away from ever calling another fanbase that on so many levels .

[alexguiness]

Wilder's demands include;

He is A side.
He ring-walks last.
He is paid $15 Million.
He has exclusive PPV revenue %.
Fight is held in bum**** Alabama.
All three judges are Haymon ********.
Fight takes place a 2pm outside in 110 degrees.
If he loses a re-match is compulsory, if he wins it is not.
Referee is Malik Scott

if these demands are not met, then AJ (humble one) is clearly ducking!!!

Most of these guys are/were Floyd fans, they know how A-side and B-side negotiations go... A-side usually do not make concessions, the best scenario for a B-side fighter is to win the fight and get a much better deal in the rematch. See Haye-Bellew as an example of this.

If you got a guy doing what Wilder and Parker are doing then it tells you how confident they are in actually winning the fight.

As a reference Miguel COTTO got 20% against Floyd and I'm supposed to believe Wilder deserves 40 to 50%. Wilder should be dancing in the rain if he got 25% of the revenue. Parker doesn't deserve more than 20%.

[Gillie]

Wilder deserves 40% at the least. He shouldn't take no less than that. It should be 55-45. Joshua can make money fighting other guys. But his mega fight is with wilder. Without wilder, he's just getting paid to be a belt holder. Meanwhile wilder will continue to ko everyone in front of him, and will be considered the real champion after everyone sees Joshua duck the mega fight for quick paydays. Give wilder 45-40% and let's see who's the best heavyweight in the world.

60 to 40 in Joshua's favor probably makes sense. Remember, AJ makes big money no matter who he fights. The same cannot be said of Wilder. Even 35% is probably a lot more than he has ever made before. Either way, a Wilder victory will give him leverage for the rematch.

[GhostofDempsey]

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???

Wilder isn't the superstar that Floyd, Manny or Canelo are. He makes only 10% of what Joshua does. So what you're saying is that a guy who earned $14M in his last fight needs to split the purse down the middle with a guy who earned only $1.4M in his last fight?

At best I see Wilder deserving only 30%, and that is being generous. Otherwise, he can go back to earning $1.4M to fight the Breazeale's and Millers of the world while AJ's star keeps rising.

[joe strong]

If Joshua paid Charles Martin 8.5 million then Wilder should at least get 10 million.
