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

[uppercut510]

tell me what i said that’s incorrect. You can bury your head and pretend they’re in the same league when it comes to drawing power but that’s just not the case.

i just want to see the fight, there is no need for us to argue drawing power, of course aj wins in that department hes in the uk where fans back their fighters even when they lose. Im not a promoter and this is the fight that boxing needs... Hw boxing is back and we want to see the best fight the best not argue who sales more tickets. Im sure if tickets were cheaper in the states more people would go. If wilder accepts 40% then whats the issue

Wilder really believes he can win, not a single doubt...the man will never lack confidence it seems!

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.

I really doubt 100 million is guaranteed at the moment. Hearn has already offered wilder double or treble his money he’s ever made to fight whyte, so it’s a good pay day in its own right. Add to this that there is a good chance whyte will become mandatory and end up fighting wilder anyway (where wilder may earn much less) and it becomes an obvious fight. Whyte is as good a challenger as wilder probably has outside of Joshua; and is unlikely to last the distance (see fight against Joshua).

If Joshua fights miller in the US then whyte has to fight someone in the interim so all makes perfect sense really.

I personally think two build up fights ; Joshua vs Miller in US and Haye in UK; wilder face whyte in UK and breazeale in US would marinate the fight perfectly.

Then, fight at Wembley April next year; with potential rematch in Vegas in the summer. Timing would be great too as good opportunity fury will be lurking ready for the winner.

The usual suspects said Pacquiao needs to take a flatrate vs Floyd, they said that GGG needs to take a flatrate or 20% vs Canelo. Now the same posters say that they just want to see a fight and Joshua needs to pay Wilder whatever he asks.

Hypocrisy as it's finest.
