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

It's nice to see the B-side finally live in reality for once.

..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.

Parker doesn't deserve that either.

If they got what they deserve it'd be between 10-20% because Joshua is like 10x the draw.

To me it looks like Wilder wants the fight and has a good attitude about the negotiations. I’m just waiting on Joshua and his team to get it done.

What Cotto's making 750 k has something to do with it?

Because it shows you can't take listed purses at face value.

Fair if Wilder beats AJ... Wilder does bring a world title and 40% for a unified heavyweight is a bargin. THey would be able to sell the hell out of this event.

This kind of response is also why many Americans don’t understand why even 60/40 Joshua could well choose to turn down.

Joshua is the draw. The fight should be in the UK. What CAN Wilder even do to make the fight bigger in the UK? I say nothing or very little at best.

And Joshua doesn't even care about this I bet as much as his fans. Joshua knows once he wins this fight he's getting 80/20 for the rest of his career minus the likely Fury fight & further down the line the Dubois fight. Its a "short money" (lol at $30M+ being short money when all his money comes in) situation for the potential to set him up for a long time to come.

Doesnt meant that offer will happen but Joshua is so much bigger than wilder that he can offer what he wants to be fair

Whats fair is what Wilder will get. Taken got f#cking $5.5M, Parker is gonna get $7M-$10M+ & Wilder will probably get $8M-$12M+. There is nothing unfair here. Idk how this even got into some weird **** measuring thing. When a fight exists that people wanna see, which Joshua vs Wilder is as this is the HW fight people most want & among the top fights people want in the world of boxing, both guys are gonna have nice leverage beyond "whos the main draw" type sh^t. This ain't that complicated a concept.

And the thing people are ignoring is this is gonna be BOTH GUYS' BIGGEST PAYDAY.

Of course nationality has everything to do with it, Golovkin was greedy for wanting 35%, yet Wilder deserves 40%..... If the roles were reversed and Wilder was 10x the draw AJ was then all these arrogant americans would be singing a different tune without a doubt. Half of these fools thought Pac should have taken the flat fee offer from Floyd in 2011/12 because it was "more than he had ever made before". There's always nationalism involved when it's a US fighter, only Americans don't see that.

You've been hurt in this boxing world haven't you?

Nothing is wonky about the maths... when Hearn starts mentioning those same numbers as to why Wilder won't get 40% then I'll bump you. The fight will probably get made closer to 35% mark.

It may get to the 35% mark. It maybe 38%. It maybe 40%. It maybe 42%.

The reality is there is no Joshua vs Wilder w/o Wilder lol. There is no unified HW title fight without all the belts lol. And there is no UK boxing vs US boxing fanboy sh^t without US boxing. Hence Wilder has leverage here. Hearn knows this business in 2018 better than any two US promoters (Arum knows this business better than any 4 promoters worldwide, but he's stuck in 1995, although in fairness it sounds like Arum Jr has him looking better lately) & thats why this fight will get made & thats why 60/40 (or a % or two up or down) is extremely likely here.

Mandatories get 25-30% of the purse bid not the entire event! ...... Wilder is asking for 40% of the entire event, that’s huge considering the massive difference in drawing power between the 2.

And the purse bid may end up being worth more than the event. One is not automatically better than the other. Depends on what the bids are. Wilder wouldn't be getting 40% of the gross, he'd be getting 40% of the net.

If Parker is getting 33.%, Wilder will get 40%. Wilder is from a giant country instead of a tiny country. Wilder has the most important belt instead of the least important belt. Wilder is a much bigger star than Parker. Wilder is viewed as a much bigger threat than Parker. It's a bigger fight.

[Just looking]

Personally I still don’t agree. Even if wilder was to win does that mean he’ll start selling out stadiums and selling millions of ppvs and generating purses of £15 million plus per fight? Probably not.

He would be the undisputed champion with all 4 belts, need more?

Parker doesn't deserve that either.

If they got what they deserve it'd be between 10-20% because Joshua is like 10x the draw.

Lol now its Parker doesn't deserve that...pointless.
