This is an even match, why shouldn't it be 50-50? Wilder has a huge fan base in the states as does Joshua oversea. Make the fight and move on Hearn. By making excuses only show how little confidence you have in your fighter. Pay the bills and make the fight happen.

Since when are fights being made on ability? Never is when.

Wilder biggest payday nearly $2m Joshua nearly $20m

Wilder doesn’t have a decent fan base, doesn’t sell out small indoor arenas. Joshua can sell out 70,000 tickets in a couple days.

39 fights for Wilder and shown no hunger to fight the best, one top 15 opponent so far.

In 20 fights AJ fought the most dominant HW of this era and about to unify with Parker

Are you a boxing fan? Or Joshua's accountant?

This is dumbest ***ing comment people come up with.

Just because I want the fight to happen doesn't mean I don't understand how boxing works

Can your brain comprehend that even if I'm not Joshua's accountant I can still understand who's the draw and who isn't and how fighters use splits to duck each other.

Are you too thick to understand that?

If Maidana said 50-50 or no rematch to your beloved Floyd, would you have said the same thing? There's about the same difference in earning power between the two.

50 / 50 is more then fair wtf ! f@ck hearn !

But it's clearly not fair when one guy brings 95% of the revenue to the table.

Where’s this huge Wilder fan base you speak of?

Honestly, if Wilder turned down 40% I’d call that a duck
