    That's expected.

    Pac's highest purse, Golovkin's highest purse, McGregor's highest purse...none of that is relevant when it's the biggest fight that can be made and both men need each other.

    And for this fight to happen, both men need each other.
    Joshua doesn't need Wilder. He can make just as much paying some fighter 10% as paying Wilder 30%. Stop talking like this is some mega fight, it isn't. The casuals don't know who the **** Wilder is.

      its not because both men need each other that it means it should be 50-50

          It's the biggest, most lucrative fight in boxing and everyone knows it.

          This is bigger even that a Canelo/G rematch.

          2 Undefeated Heavyweight KO artists.

          Both of them charismatic as hell.

          Any decent promoter with 4 to 6 months can make this a big fight.

          And you have really good promoters on both sides of this.

            No it isn't. Won't even be PPV in America because neither are draws. Wilder isn't known in the UK so doesn't add that much. Won't beat Joshua-Klitschko.

            If Wilders promoter is so good why isn't he a draw in his own damn country.

              Exactly, and that's what I think Wilder should do. Make his bank after he takes AJ's belts.

                It is not a case for Wilder getting 50% and it is no fight or nothing he can do that can make him worth of 50%. AJ would have to LOSE for Wilder to get 50%

                  This past September, we just saw a guy who had sold 1M PPV his last fight take on a guy who had only sold 130K PPVs his last fight.

                  Canelo/G did pretty well.

                  And those were not heavyweights, one guy had a loss, and one guy had a controversial fight prior.

                  These are 2 Undefeated Heavyweight wrecking machines who both speak english and both are charismatic.

                  This fight will sell better than that one.

                  Especially with casuals.

                    Comparing two PPV fighters to 2 non PPV fighters. Joshua and Wilder can't even get 1 mil on Showtime but you expect them to sell 1+ mil PPV?.

                      Wlad also became the 3rd highest paid boxer in the game, behind only Floyd and Manny, without selling any US PPVs.
