Comments Thread For: Wilder: 50-50 or NO Joshua Fight, No Surprise if I KO Him in One!

[The Gambler1981]

Lol "his willingness to talk" does not entitle him to a 50% cut. Talk is cheap. aj is selling millions of ppvs and selling out stadiums. He sold 10k tickets for the stiverne fight I bet 80% of those tickets were bought when people thought he was fighting Ortiz.

Aj makes 20 mil a fight wilder makes what, 1.5? How can they split that down the middle. You guys are hilarious.

Wilder is not as big as he thinks he is. If he was he'd be a ppv fighter by now but he's not.

I never said Wilder deserved 50/50~ in fact on numerous occasions I have said there is no way he can get 50/50 so.

Who the **** are you talking to? Wilder will be paid very well in the Joshua fight and will get a healthy cut of a fight that does big numbers, so he will deserve what he gets as such~

Just gonna point out that Joshua v Takam was watched by 2.73million people in Germany alone and was aired in 150 different countries overall. Obviously he's biggest in the UK but he clearly does have global appeal else he's not getting those kinds of numbers from a country that historically hates Brits and isn't being broadcast in so many countries worldwide.

Undoubtedly though Wilder is the bigger fish in the US, which, as you've said, is the next market that Hearn/Joshua want... thus Wilder is going to be worth extra for that.

That second part is the main point and worldwide the interest will be mostly on the fight so their split will b closer to even. Joshua would deserve more from Europe on a whole no doubt he is bigger there.

The rest I would consider marginal.

Joshua can make a bigger fight without Wilder by fighting Fury in the UK, so why would he need a US market?

Again, we just went through an era where a heavyweight champ went on a ten year reign without having to fight in the US but three times and didn't have to.

Paying Wilder 40% of the purse is foolish. Golovkin didn't get 40% in the fight against Canelo and both fighters are more popular/known than Wilder is in the US.

Hearn pays that then he would be dumb whether AJ wins or not.

Because if he wants to grow and be more than he is now he needs markets outside the UK.

Yea a Fury fight is big, but the Wilder fight is probably as big on a whole because it brings in new markets and if Joshua can capture the market by beating Wilder he will be worth even more.

I don't think Joshua or Hearn are satisfied with what they have now they want more rightfully so and Wilder is a key part in that. Wlad fought in the US plenty and he just didn't resonate here so it was a waste of time for him but if he was capable of doing it and had the right foil (which never existed to him) he would have wanted to take advantage. SO yea Joshua can do fine, but he can do even better through fighting Wilder and his team is going to want that and they will pay the piper.


Wilder is worth a lot for that fact along on top of him helping to sell the fight in the UK which he would also do well.

Cowardly AJ would love to cherry pick Fury while he suffering from drug addiction and depression.

Beating up big names when they are old or sick is AJ's specialty.

Everybody wants that AJ money

Wilder would be lucky to get 90-10, the bum.

He deserves a cut but not what he's asking for. If he says 50-50 or no fight don't be surprised if there's no fight. Joshua isn't a charitable foundation you need to bring more to the table than just screaming bomb squad if you want 50%

Yup pricing himself out of the fight

[b00g13man]

There's nothing to defend here. I only hope this is just to bluff to get a better deal in the end because I want this fight badly.

[DuckAdonis]

Wilder is pricing himself the **** out

Duck move if you ask me, he might have lost a fan in me
