Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Must Take Same Rematch Deal I Take for 1st Fight

[Nomadic]

Hey Wilder Fan
He just offered a Rematch stipulation thru the Media
Call Eddie Hearn that's how you negotiate

Why wouldn't he, he's getting low balled the first time around, it's only right to return the favor after he KO's AJ.

This isn’t his way of negotiating it is his way of letting all the haters know whatever deal he accepts Joshua must accept the same for the rematch. He is basically saying 50-50 is out the window so now all the haters who think Wilder is ducking really have no reason to believe that anymore.

The ticket prices for AJ vs Wlad at Wembley ranged from £40 ($55) for the nose-bleeds to £2000 ($2766) ringside.

The total gate money was £8million, that's more than $11million

The fight sold 1.5million Sky PPVs at £19.95.

So the UK PPV income would have been around £30million, that's just under $41.5million.

I think AJ vs Wilder, for all 4 HW belts, would do at least as well as AJ vs Klitschko in the UK, and very likely even better.

But would it make more than $11million at the gate and more than $41.5million in PPVs if it happened in the States?

Personally, I don't think it would do anything near those numbers.

Don't compare a soccer stadium seat that cost $50 to a seat at an arena in Vegas, that's just dumb.

Lol Wilder is so deluded.. He thinks he can make demands. The A side make demands.. You aren't A side Wilder, you're B side for life.

Learning difficulties .. or you just mislaid your reading glasses?

ITs in both parties interest to have a rematch clause whichever way the fight goes. So basically wilder is still asking for the same 50/50 split he was asking for before? Except we are in the middle of other fights and he is all talk and no action. Let’s see whether he will actually commit to something sensible rather than just listen to his usual bs

If Parker wins, he gets 55% in the rematch. You don't think Wilder will be able to negotiate that if he wins, he gets 60% in the rematch?

Why doesn't Wilder's team call Hearn instead of these BS interviews

Because Hearn doesn't want the fight until the end of the year. It's Wilder's job between now and then to help build the fight.

He could have been building his rep and fights since fight #20, he’s chosen to fight easy fights all the way though? Why would he change now?

He's chosen? He chose for Povetkin to fail his drug test? He chose for King Kong to fail his drug test?

Why would he change now?

Do you realize how silly these complaints seem when Wilder is making a voluntary defense against the most avoided heavyweight on the planet?
