Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager: We Don't Need 50-50 Split to Make Joshua Fight

[Stinger1]

If you want to see this fight then don't post things like "AJ will have another belt if he beats Parker and doesn't need the fight as much as Wilder." cuz it makes you sound like you shook for AJ & don't want him to lose.

It's on Wilder to make the fight, what decides whether this fight happens or not is if Wilder prices himself out.

Wilder needs to get another manager, if needs to demand a 50/50 split and not let greedy Hearn and Joshua dictate the percentages.

Lmao hearns full ass **** stop bluffing make the fight and they need each other. Cuz the world wants to know who’s the best and they should like to know as well

[Mick Higgs]

AJ's been ****ing on about fighting in Africa, so how about putting it on over there with a 60/40% split in his favour (if successful against JP of course) The public want it, so let's see action!!..............

Lmao they are all Eddie Hearn fans now. Whatever Eddie tells them or says is the greatest thing ever to them. He has convinced the ******ed boxing fans that Wilder- AJ won’t happen. Many of them hopes AJ signs with HBO

Whereas Wilder fans will believe every word that comes out of his team, without question.

Hearn has invited Wilder to attend AJ vs Parker and is planning to speak with him, on camera, as soon as the fight is over .. if AJ wins.

Use your brains, people - both sides want AJ vs Wilder to happen .. but AJ and Hearn are focused on the Parker fight right now.

[McNulty]

he believed he could bring more people to Vegas, at a higher ticket price, that we would make more money than if we fought in the UK

Hope this is enough for the 70k arena******s to pipe down.

Very realistic view! Joshua brings in most money, Joshua gets most money! If Vegas makes most money, the fight is in Vegas! Seems Barry Hearn is a sensible man. Seems Eddie Hearn doesn't want that work...yet!

This fight will require a little bit more marination. Joshua vs Fury, undercard Kahn vs Brook (SOLD OUT STADIUM). Who is the promoter who would make TONS OF CA$H (all in house fighters), before(making another sh|t load of money) with Wilder vs Joshua. This is PRIZE FIGHTING

Finkel can never accuse AJ of ducking after that Deontay is just a baby heavyweight speech in the press when DW got his title and Finkel was asked if they were going to fight Vlad.

On the Deontay scale AJ has another 19 fights before he has to challenge the WBC and even that's unfair on AJ given he has collected two of the belts already and on the way to another (Parker permitting)

Why is Hearn trying to set up a AJ v Miller fight? Nobody wants to see it. Nobody wants to see Wilder fight Whyte, either.

[Butch.McRae]

Don't think Wilder is going to get much more than 35%. AJ will have another belt if he beats Parker and doesn't need the fight as much as Wilder.

Unfortunately you're not seeing the whole picture. The difference in the two purses comes down to sponsorship and TV rights money. The U.S. market gives a Wilder fight a higher valuation than a Parker fight. Which is why Parker will make $9 - $12 million, while Deontay will fall between $10 - $15 million.

I understand your point, but it's not connected to the economics of the fight.
