Sad, that Bermane KO really gassed him up.

50/50 ?


Get the **** out

[Steven Mccowan]

Nooooo!! Goddamn it wilder dont talk yourself out of this fight. The popular guy gets the lion share as always. I love wilder, he my favorite but ill be pissed if he dont take this fight

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Deontay just ethered himself.

50-50 is a duck.

Joshua should get 70-30 minimum.

Another Haymon fighter ducking a dangerous opponent by pricing themselves out so that their dumb biased fans wont know what they're doing and keep blaming the brave true champs of the sport for "lowballing" the Haymon fighter rather than blaming the ducker who doesnt want the fight. Happens many times every year in boxing these days. Until these fans wise up and start blaming the right people instead of the wrong people, the amount of great fights, and their favorite fighters, will both continue to disappoint them and leave them longing for the 1980s.

for some,reaon there is a wave of 'fans' that do think calling out names means the other guy ducks them lol. Not sure why they do but they do and the minds that run boxing use them like cheap whores.

Wilder just cant keep his mouth shut. He was doing OK since Stiverne, calling out Joshua, got the upperhand in a few exchanges. Now he blows it all with this dumb ****

Wilder needs to man up. This is getting embarassing... Although, to be fair, he tried to fight Povetkin and Ortiz, which were respectable fights to take.

Well povetkin was a mandatory, plus his ppl couldnt be out bid by wilder team so that wasnt a choice

So Wilder is posturing? And people are acting like starting out asking for 50/50 is a big deal, like this contract has already been chiseled into a stone tablet and there will be no movement from here?

Wilder obviously wants the most money possible this is a huge fight, but if a guy wants 50/50 they never start at asking for 50/50. This fight ain't going down next so it doesn't matter what Wilder says now.

People acting like this matter are fools, because this is a very big money fight~. To people that say Wilder brings nothing an American audience is very important to growing Joshua further and Wilder is a key to that. Does Joshua want to keep making the same amount or does he want to make even more and be even bigger. Plus a loud mouth American champ is likely to create more drama in the UK market than non-descript Kiwi. So Wilder will make a lot more than Parker just due to what he actually brings to the table in terms of selling a big fight.

We are seeing what Parker is doing in trying to sell a big fight, does it seem big league or bush league? So whatever Parker gets Wilder will get and deserve at least 10% more. Wilder will only get 50/50 if the fight does insane in the US and ended up with a bigger split in US revenue than Joshua. Very unlikely to occur but Wilder getting more from the US should not be a deal breaker for Joshua as long as he is getting a higher percentage split from the UK in comparison to what Wilder gets, so say Joshua gets 80/20 from the UK (which might even be low for Joshua) Wilder getting 60/40 from the US should be fine to him.

That more than likely won't be 50/50 overall, and this deal will be complicated so Wilder talking in generalities means nothing.

Marketing and negotiations ploy....Wilder will take 45%. Maybe even 40% (if Parker takes 35%).

Wouldn't be surprised if AJ lost in first round. His defense, chin and movement are no better than stivernes. So could easily suffer same fate.

probably the reason they are fighting Parker
