Comments Thread For: Joshua Promoter: Wilder Can't Be Delusional With 50-50 Demand

Fans care about the split because they know it's the split that makes or breaks whether the fight it made.

I don't particularly give a **** who gets how much, but I'm not going to be an ignorant tool and pretend it isn't a massive part of the deal. And fans debate accordingly, because it matters.

Great that you've shared your stance, now if you don't like discussing it, slip into the background and the rest of us will carry on.

Hahahaha^ discuss what? The purse splits? Boxing fans have never argued over who should get more. Of course it's important, now "negotiate" in private and make the fight. My daughters argue over how much celebs make. I've never in my 36 years met male fans that argued about the splits of any match.
I guess Im in the minority now, so back to the background I go.

Have fun ladies!

Slip into the background, that's fine. We live in the information age, and whether people like it or not, splits are often the biggest hurdle towards making a fight. So of course fans are going to feel the need to discuss it.

If you don't want to discuss a key topic, that's fine, but don't get snarky when others do. Your ignorance isn't our issue.

this cannot be stated enough; asking for 50-50 and not budging from it is basically wilder and camp's way of saying they don't want the fight. wilder does not deserve 50% and he and his team know it.

i don't have issues with starting at 50% [this is a negotiation, after all, and you basically always highball your first offer in any negotiation where this much money is involved,] and working you way toward 40 or 35 or whatever they get, but if they really think they'll get it or they deserve it they're dumb, and if they don't think they'll get it and still stick to their guns they're protecting their guy.


what did parker get?
too lazy to google it.
