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

IDK what the cut should be but it sounds like Wilder's team is coming to terms that they are not 50-50

they never thought it would be 50-50

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

Wilder and Parker have leverage in the form of their belts. Had Parker been offered 10% then he simply would have said F off I'm fighting someone else.

Most Joshua’s fans are casual and therefore Ppv base also. The majority, probably 75%, wouldn’t have seen wilder fight ever. By fighting whyte he significantly increases chance of probably adding 200K minimum; potentially upto 500k extra viewers in the uk.

Not that I agree w the casual fan statement, because if they are casuals and follow Joshua, well.... Joshua v Wilder is the fight we’re talking about, so seems logical that they would buy the fight after the first commercial shows that his opponent is the Heavyweight champ in the US, undefeated, and has knocked out everyone he faced.

But taking it a step further, why would Wilder take ANOTHER fight first that MIGHT raise his profile and increase PPV revenue if he’s being offered a crappy split on the PPV revenue ?

Anything can happen. Wilder could lose, especially w UK judging vs a UK fighter. If I’m managing Wilder I’m not even considering Dillan Whyte.

Once the fans see the first fight between these 6’5 knockout artists, I don’t think the rematch will have trouble selling. Make the fight now w the guaranteed 100 million. Book the rematch. Everybody is happy.

Just like only a fool believed Calzaghe was the best in his division during his era. Again, aside from the money you are all still stuck on, from a legacy perspective, provided both keep winning, his legacy would be tainted if he never fought Wilder (except in the UK, where you guys cling on ANY decent fighter that comes from there and label him "the best" even when they refuse to fight anyone outside of the US).

To put it into perspective and to perhaps help you think a bit, let's use Mayweather vs Pacquiao as an example. Had Mayweather not fought him, his legacy would've been tainted and by waiting so long to fight him, he still left a lot of doubt as to who was the best at their prime.

Think beyond the "15+ mil" for a few seconds and realize that the point I was making was about legacy, not their bank accounts.

I'm not going to go over the Wilder/Joshua situation because it's dumb and has been done to death already but...

I need to ask... If Calzaghe wasn't the best in his time, who was may I ask?

[Sid-Knee]

That's a good joke, you're forgetting the US PPV of which Haye would bring none. Again, think about the whole picture, not just what happens in the UK. Good one though...

Wilder can't even sell out the arena in any of his fights, including at home in Alabama, yet you talk about this supposed money he brings in even though he's never done a PPV in his life.

He hasn't done for the simple fact that it would flop big time.

And he gets nowhere near to what Joshua earns because no one gives a **** about Wilder back home. He's not all of a sudden going to become this PPV star what so ever. You're just dreaming.

I wonder what you said about the Ward/Kovalev situation? Hmmm.

[Sid-Knee]

LOL Still stuck on the money I see when, AGAIN, I'm referring to legacy only. Joshua is only recognized as such because he beat an old Klitschko but that will only hold out for so long; Ortiz was actually the best fighter either has fought so stop. TF had already beaten the robotic Ukranian, yet AJ didn't exactly sweep him but I give him credit for digging deep and KO'ing the 40 yr old champ!. Wilder continuing to win will start the same talk as Pacquiao vs Mayweather where there will be a debate as to who is the best.

Solely from a legacy perspective, they need each other just as much.

Ortiz is better than Wlad?

You're comedy gold you are. You've made me laugh with practically every one of your posts. Good job.

[Straightener]

Yeah there counting their money a Lil too soon. I give Parker a 40% of winning. It wouldn't shock me at all if Parker wins...

Don’t get me wrong I think aj will win before the 8th

I just think people are trying to give Hearn and Joshua s**t before they have got past Parker

[Boksfan]

Ok this thread is hilarious bunch of Wilder balls licking ******s defending him asking for 50% of the split

[Badboy9]

Let’s see what Hearn says now? Wilder willing to take
Less money to make this fight is happen leave no room for excuses. Hearn is a sly weasel so I’m sure he’ll think of something creative. Hopefully AJ will man up and demand Hearn to make the fight.
