Comments Thread For: Joshua Promoter: Wilder on Cloud Nine With His 50-50 Demand

[Tonyu]

I understand what you are saying but Joshua only sells this in the UK nowhere else, but this will eventually die if they keep bringing b level fighters. Everyone wants to see Joshua v Wilder and therefore Wilder can hold out. The Heavyweight division doesn't have a depth of talent the only ones are Joshua, Wilder, Parker, Povetkin, Ortiz and Parker. Let's wait and see I believe Parker will be next in March and Wilder will face Ortiz. Then this debate will continue of purse's. HEARN does say he wants to tackle the American market and the only logical fight is Wilder provided they both win their next fight which is not a foregone conclusion despite what people think.

If Haye wins that's a bigger fight than Wilder and so will Fury. Joshua has options if Wilder continues his ridiculous demands.

I couldn’t careless about educating you, you are a boxing fan! One fight happening or not happening doesn’t define boxing. If you don’t understand that then I cannot help you. I couldn’t careless about AJ or Hearn. You are fans of them and hang up on them. Me? Am here for all of boxing.

Lol......you o.k. kid?

Only in the UK are those bigger fights. The biggest fight is Wilder and they know it. Wilder has options to fight outside of Joshua as well but wouldn't make the money the AJ fight would.

No it isn't how is it bigger? The US doesn't give a **** about Wilder or Joshua. 90+% of the money will be coming from the UK. Both Haye and Fury would make more money than Wilder.

What options does Wilder have?

Fury - Joshua makes more money than Joshua - Wilder easily.

Think Fury beats Joshua quite handily though if he can box the way he did vs Wlad

[techliam]

He wouldn't turn it down, it's actually what he's banking on. But if he goes out and says that he'll take 40 percent then Hearn will only agree to 30 percent.

He has to say 50 so that he can get 40.

I get that

But Wilder shouldn’t be getting much more than Parker.

At the very least, Parker fought in the UK

They both hold 1 paper belt, but both aren’t popular fighters

Wilder would be lucky to accept 40%

But US the home of boxing doe...

It will take a lot for some Americans to swallow such a bitter pill

[Sid-Knee]

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.

You nutters should be banned from this site.

Doesn't matter who you thinks going to win, the money is split by how much each fighter brings to the table. Joshua brings 95% of the money. Wilder is the one who is scared and will only fight if he gets a retirement cheque.

[Sid-Knee]

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

Why don't you throw some of those comments Deontay's way? it's always AJ's fault with you Americans.

Delusional idiots. That's what you are.
