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

[285Kid]

I like I was saying get ready for Joshua (if he best Parker)

vs Alexander Povetkin (UK) or Jarrell Miller (USA) fall 2018

vs Tyson Fury in early 2019


I wonder who's Wilder fighting til fall of 2019?

Isn't it you that wanted to compare? Any way you slice it Wilder isn't a draw. A draw is how much money you bring in and Wilder doesn't bring that much.

I think you're feigning arrogance in order to cover up for a perceived reluctance to make the fight. Which is completely unnecessary because I have more faith than you that the fight will happen. See my sig for my prediction about it.

I'm doing no such thing. I'm stating facts. There's bigger draws in the HW division than Wilder not named Joshua.

He sells out Arena's, Wilder can't. He has many more millions watching his fights and usually makes more per fight. He's overall a bigger draw. ****ing David Haye is a bigger draw than Wilder too, Fury when he returns will be too. @ you thinking Wilder is a draw.

To my knowledge, Povetkin has one major fight where he broke the bank. That's was against Klitchsko where he got $5.5 million. I'm not aware of anything larger. Wilder was due to get $5 million in their fight, with Povetkin getting $2 million. I don't see a history of these millions you're talking about. Haye is bigger in the UK, but that's where it stops.

Wilder is a greater property. There's a reason his name is all in the British press right now. Povetkin isn't even relevant right now.

Which was odd??? Usually the champion wins purse bids as no one likes to pay the other guy 70%??

Who wins a purse bid has nothing to do with who the champion is. It has everything to do with the pockets of the promoters bidding.

Wilder was going to get 4 mil, because he was the title holder and Povetkin was the mandatory. Why did they pay so much for the fight? Because Povetkin is a bigger draw than Wilder. They also bid over $3 mil for Povetkin-Stiverne, why did he pay more than Wilder-Stiverne got combined? Because Povetkin is a bigger draw.

Lol Wilder does not understand AJ is the A-side. These demands are too much for someone who draws so little.

[Acpollar]

Sick of people not knowing anything

I keep seeing these post about draw and A-side.. the draw is when people want to see it and Wilder drew 1.2 million for his last fight more then any Showtime fight.. so stop with the dump sh**. Whether you love or hate him the dude can FIGHT.. and we you include love to watch him fight.. stop lying to yourself I'm sure you watch the Ortiz fight also...smdh.. learn something about the sport before you comment people...

[ShoulderRoll]

Wilder gets better tv ratings in the U.S. than Joshua, that's for sure.

[RapidSon]

How does 2.1 mil say 40% against someone that makes 15+?

..and again I'll bring you this argument. Parker deserves 30-35 making 1.2mil but Wilder doesn't deserve more than Parker making 2.1mil. None of you AJ fans can answer that straight.
