Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Parker Nears: Both Sides Reach Agreement on Split

Well, maybe if Wilder gets done fighting fat, tomato cans and guys he know can't fight without steroids - maybe he'll drop the 50/50 price himself out duck and actually take a flight to the US and get Jeff Lacy'd... OK, pu55y?

But maybe Wilder is posturing with demanding 50% or nothing we don't really know yet. Also before Wilder agreed on fighting Ortiz he (Ortiz) was being portrayed as the boogeyman maybe not by you but a lot of other people so it's "damned if you do damned if you don't".

Joshua is just great for boxing, he's unifying all the belts, course he get the last one cause that guy will not fight him. But he is getting all the other belts. Bravo, bravo !

I wonder what you Wilder fans will say when Wilder fights Breazeale or Charles Martin for his next fight after Ortiz tests positive for the third time? Will you guys s till give him props, like you have given him props for beating a fat, has-been, shell of his never-was that great in the first place self Stiverne? Because it's getting ridiculous with the adoration being poured on Wilder for beating up bum, after bum, after bum.

The sooner this happens, the sooner a showdown with Wilder can materialize.
To me, that's a good thing.......plus we'll see Parker against a legit heavy for once.

The Wilder talks are going to be different

It seems as if Parker got between 30%-33% which should bank him around $4.5 - $6.5 mil which is by far his biggest payday of his career! Not Bad! So it seem as if Hearn might be willing to give Wilder between 35%-40% which should bank Wilder anywhere from $7.5 - $10 mil which would be his biggest payday of his career by far! That's a huge jump from $1.5 mil average per fight

If Wilder beat Luis Ortiz in a good fight in March (on Showtime), and Joshua puts out Joseph Parker in a good fight in April (on Showtime), Wilder-Joshua becomes almost a guaranteed option for PPV (especially if Showtime again uses the summer lull to launch a blockbuster event in August).

The amount of money coming in on US TV will likely distort the final split, but 40%-45% of the money likely ends up being Wilder's share.

Very discerning statement. I agree 100%, if people are able to remove bias, patriotism and ”fanboyism” from this AJ-Wilder saga, it’s pretty obvious both need each other. AJ is the A-Side but he is not in a completely dominant position in the negotiations regardless of whatever BS false narrative Hearn tries to spin. 40-60 to 45-55 in AJ’s favour is more than fair to both parties. They are both the biggest options out there for one another, this is the only fight than can transcend either fighter into a superstar/PPV fighter in the US, where the real BIG money is in boxing and that’s coming from a Brit.

The article says Parker will earn a guaranteed 12million so Wilder will earn at least 15mil when he fights AJ because Wilder vs AJ will also be in US PPV as well as UK SKY box office PPV.

I don’t see the Wilder fight happening because Hearn and his Diva are running to HBO soon to hide, Ortiz vs Wilder way better fight than Parker vs Juicehead

Sometimes I wonder what small details are being "hammered out". I called 33% a while ago. Didn't seem too complicated to arrive at that number. There are obviously smaller details that the general public aren't familiar with.

It's less than 33.. Probably 32. In the interview he said it's somewhere in between 30 and 35.. The interviewer asked is its closer to 35 than 30 and he said no but its close to halfway inbetween.
