The Case For AJ/Wilder Being 50/50

[lfc19titles]

If wilder was such star, then why doesn’t he offer to keep all USA revenue with Joshua keeping uk?

Oh that’s right, nobody in America cares about wilder and he makes 1.5m per fight in America

People buy aj fights to watch him, not the guy he is fighting, that’s how big he is

Wilder fighting bums makes him 1.5m, if Joshua fought the same bums, he would still make 15m as he is just a star unlike wilder who is a nobody and you wilder fans need to get over it

****ing hell

I thought you were actually going to talk about the fight.

[KillaCamNZ]

Really?

What exactly are you basing that on?

What evidence do you have for AJ's popularity outside of Britain or Nigeria?

How many PPVs has AJ sold outside of Britain?

How many PPV's has Wilder sold in the US?

Joshua paid out the Martin and Klitschko purses to put himself into a position to dictate terms, now hes there hes in the power position. No previous purses matter.

This!!

He needed Martins belt, when he had no belts of his own and Klitschko’s name on his resume to give him some legitimacy.

Wilder’s belt nor his name value justify anything close to 50-50 against 2017 Joshua. No one other than Fury will get anything remotely close to 50-50.

Joshua doesn’t need Wilder, Its Wilder that needs Joshua. AJ isn’t the one perceived as a coddled cherry picker by a large portion of the general public.

Time is not on Wilders side either so it’s no skin off AJ and Hearns bones.

How many PPV's has Wilder sold in the US?

The same amount as AJ- which is one of several reasons why it is a 50/50 fight.

Joshua v Takam was watched by almost 3 million Germans on RTL... a figure that trebles the amount of people that watched Wilder v Stiverne in his own country (a country that far exceeds the population of Germany I might add). Equally Joshua v Takam was aired in over 150 countries... your fights don't get aired in that many countries unless you are globally recognised.

You are seriously reaching with all of this to claim that Joshua would be ducking if he doesn't accept a 50/50 offer. Likelihood is the fight gets made that around 60/40 or 55/45 because at the end of the day Haymon is not going to throw away the prospect of the fight and the money that comes with it over Wilder and his team's egos... not when he'd have no way of generating that amount of cash else.

There's actually more interest in Joshua in the US than Wilder.

Google trends?

Really?

This is the same thing that had Golovkin more popular worldwide than Canelo this past January, right?

Meanwhile, after this google data, G did a PPV of about 130K buys while Canelo sold a million.

Google trends is garbage.

Thanks for proving my point.

You cherry picked a 2 week period when the Jacobs fight was announced. FAIL.

Foolish to think Wilder carries more viewng power than Klitchko , who globally squashes Wilder . Even Vitali could come back and make a 45% fight with Joshua and hes been retired for years .

Without Klitchko than Joshua is 5 years behind remotley what he is now . Wilder isnt and never have their drawing power at least under Haymon .

Common sense !

Are you insane? WILDER HAS 0 PPVS

Joshua vs Wlad broke PPV records
