Comments Thread For: Wilder Would Accept 40% - If Joshua Gets The Same in Rematch

[Devils Advocate]

Thats generally how rematch clauses work anyway dont they?? The loser has to take the smaller % percentage in the rematch. Good to know hes willing to accept 60-40. Hearn probably wants it more 65-35 though.

Joshua is the Star! Wilder needs to take whatever they through at him! He just made his biggest payday ($2.1 Million) SMH!

He’s talks like he’s calling the shots or like he actually knows how to calculate percentages! Go talk to Al.

I never believed Calzaghe was the best. Try again. Calzaghe wasn't recognised worldwide as #1. Joshua is. He already has a better resume than Wilder and Wilder is what 5 years older? So again, Wilder needs Joshua more in legacy too.

Mayweather and Pacquiao were much closer in drawing power than Joshua-Wilder. This is more like Mayweather-Maidana, where Mayweather paid Maidana a flat fee of 5 mil and kept the rest. Or Mayweather-Mosley, where Mosley accepted a 5 mil flat fee. They didn't have a rematch clause saying they get the same deal if they win either.

Lol you're kidding right? Maidana or Mosley?

Come on now. You gotta do better than that lol It's not remotely close. Mayweather's drawing power (earning power was miles beyond where AJ is right now) and neither Maidana or Mosley brought anything to the table that was critical for Floyd career.

This is more like Floyd v. Oscar. Where Oscar got $50 million for that fight while Floyd got $25 million, despite Floyd not having a real PPV track record.

If AJ beats Wilder, his US PPV potential takes off. There's value in that. He goes from a $20 million fighter, to a $30 or $40 million guy with that win.

There's a real reward on the other end. Floyd wasn't dealing with the same type of risk/reward analysis.

I've heard since the beginning that it was naturally assumed and billboarded that Whyte would be the stepping stone, a well paid stepping stone fight I might add, and then the next fight was Joshua. I don't know why Wilder has to always insist to twist stories around to always end up with him being the grand exalted idol and the other guy being a bum. Joshua has said he wants the fight. And he will be paid well for the fight, as will Wilder. Like Mike Tyson has said more than once, Wilder just simply talks too much shiiiii and just needs to pipe down a couple levels. This thing will happen, and all Wilder is doing is going on and on running his big mouth and muddying the water. STFU man and let the feking fight come together.

That's not how it works either. We all know he's overpaying Parker. Other fighters shouldn't demand to be overpaid too. Get what you deserve.

You don't get what you deserve. You get what you can negotiate, what they are willing to pay.

It's not going to come down to percentages, but total revenue.

60% of the revenue of a Wilder Joshua fight far exceeds 68% of the revenue for a Joshua Parker fight.

Seems fair. If Wilder beats Joshua then he is deserving of the higher split in the rematch.

Am I wrong?

!! Anorak, your thoughts?

I've always found talk of "splits" confusing on some level... I think the inner Communist in me believes that if two men are beating the **** out of each other for our entertainment, they both deserve an equal cut, no matter who they are.

But I can understand AJ - who would handily beat Wilder in a dish-off, agree/disagree? - getting the bigger cut, at least this time round. Even if you ****** Wilder's **** a thousand times - assuming you haven't already - you couldn't equal the people who want to do the same to AJ.

If the rematch comes with AJ the loser, then I guess it still stands on how they're perceived. It might still very well feature Deontay coming in to an audience of two Fat Yanks trying their best to give a shit, while the whole of England is wanking in their cups of tea going "go on, AJ! You got your chin cracked like glass last time, but do it for the Queen!"

Those variables can't be ascertained at this stage.

I want this fight to happen soon. Am so tired of Joshua's fans and their delusional purse claims on this site... Even the great Floyd Myweather's fans were not like this

You don't get what you deserve. You get what you can negotiate, what they are willing to pay.

60% of the revenue of a Wilder Joshua fight far exceeds 68% of the revenue for a Joshua Parker fight.

and 30% of of a Joshua fight makes wilder atleast 5x more than he's ever made or can make against anyone else. You keep trying to use Joshua pay as reasoning, how about use Wilders. Whatever Joshua offers him will be more than he's ever made.

Eddie Hearn

"brookyln"

"jarrell miller"

"prob gonna fight in the US over the next year"

[Vinnykin]

He's not getting 40%, no chance, and this is exactly what I have been saying the whole time. Joshua is 10x bigger than Wilder, and if he beats Parker will have 3 belts, 4 with IBO, Wilder is in dreamland if he thinks he is getting 40% of the entire revenue.

[LacedUp]

Ortiz was actually the best fighter either has fought so stop.

When someone writes a pile of rubbish like this you have to wonder what kinda crack they've been brought up on.
