    Why can't US promoters/networks offer similar offer Hearn is offering?

    Wilder wants the AJ fight to be 50/50.
    But why can't SHO/PBC match Hearn's offer?
    The Dylan White offer alone blows SHO out of the water.
    Hearn was offering $4 mil.
    It's incredible!
    It would appear Wilder is almost nothing compared to UK fighters.

    How much is Dillian Whyte making if he fights Wilder?

      Exactly, I think Hearn was over paying Wilder to get Whyte a belt like he did with Martin for Joshua. Difference though was Joshua was a bigger draw than Whyte is now so could offer Martin more.

      But on the flip side you have British heavies like Bellew and Haye making more than Wilder does. You have Joshua opponents like Takam making as much as Wilder makes and Parker likely to make more in one fight than Wilder has done his entire career. Fury will make more than Wilder when he returns too.

        Don't know how much.
        How much Wilder is making per fight in the US? $1 mil.
        Huge discrepancy.

          So what's the answer?
          If Wilder wants 50/50 why can't he tell Haymon/Espinoza make a bigger offer than what's Hearn has been offering?

            So you admit you don’t know shyt. What if their paying Whyte 5 million? Nobody knows anything except what Hearn wants them to know. All we know for sure is Wilder has the best manager and advisor in boxing. And if their telling him to pass then he’s going to pass. It’s that simple. Wilder is not Floyd and doesn’t get to pick and choose who he fights. Floyd puts his own money up for his fights and Wilder doesn’t.

              This is true to some degree. I think Wilder wants all these big fights but his handlers are the ones that don't have faith in him and who don't put the money behind him to get the kind of opposition he would like to face.

              When Martin had the IBF belt, Wilder, Parker and Joshua all made offers. Wilder said in an interview he simply couldn't come up with the kind of money that Martin wanted, Parker looked like he was going to get Martin until Hearn and Joshua crashed the party and threw $6 mill at Martin to secure the fight.

              Same with the Parker unification. He called out Parker after Joshua/Wlad both sides compared numbers and the money just wasn't there.

              Joshua and Whyte are lucky that they have Hearn who is a promoter who is willing to lose money on a fight short term to gain in the long term and shows some belief in his fighters. Wilder's promoters have clearly been following a much safer path, partly due to their unwillingness to take a financial risk with Wilder like Hearn does.

                Seems nobody has the answer.
                What's strange is UK viewers pay about 4x less on PPV
                than their US counterparts.
                It's incredible.

                  Why don't you clown just focus on the info that is available?
                  Effing diversionary tactics makes me puke.
                  For instance, we know Wilder is making $1 mil or less/fight.
                  You don't even have to scour the net to get that info.
                  AJ and Klitsch earned around £15million each or more in their fight.
                  This info is also available.
                  Wilder is basically fighting for peanuts in the US.

                    Yeah, it sounds like a lot of PBC fighters. They all want to make all demands and call all the shots, like where the fight is held and all, but then they want the other fighter's promoter to pay for it all.
