Lmao... what?

[Butch.McRae]

So many deluded wilder fans on here still
2m buys in the USA when wilder can’t even sell out a stadium of 17k?

Wilder deserves 40 percent which would most likely be 20m?

Joshua has more ppvs buys than wilder has non Ppv audience on tv lmao

Joshua sells 1m ppvs and makes 15m whilst wilder fights for 1.5m and ducks proper fighters

Wilder should get a flat fee, say 5-6m his highest pay day by triple and that’s it

Anything else is wilder hiding and ducking behind unrealistic demands

So many idiot wilder fans on this thread

This is nonsense. Parker is getting between $9 - $12 million to fight AJ (33%). Wilder will beat that number by several million. Why? Because he's from the US. The sponsor dollars and TV rights bring in a significant amount of extra revenue.

Some of the stuff you all write is just plain dumb.

Its not about being a Wilder fan. Simple math would lead you to this conclusion.

40% is still very generous to Wilder considering at the time of the fight AJ would have 3 belts along with his superior drawing power. 30-35 is more realistic and probably where the fight gets made.

35 seems like the right number, but I think Hearn will let it go to 40% if he can't haggle him down.

Parker's getting a 32/68 cut isn't he? I think 40/60 for Wilder makes sense with a reverse if Wilder wins makes sense.

And lol at all these Whyte talk still. No one gives a f#ck about that except cats in the UK & they are buying Joshua fights anyway. Wilder beating Whyte isn't gonna help this fight sell more in the US or in the UK. The only thing that I think helps sell the fight more is Joshua making his US debut if Wilder vs Joshua takes place in the US.

But sh^t they SHOULD fight in the UK any damn way so Wilder shouldn't have to do sh^t to make this fight bigger there.

More like Wilder's team. They deserve 30% at max.

I suppose that's a matter of opinion - and what makes for negotiations yet it seems Joshua/Hearns aren't particularly interested in negotiating.

IMHO Wilder deserves AT LEAST what split Parker is getting, so that's not much to come down to from 40% is it?!

Fair proposal that the loser takes the same split in rematch.

[Butch.McRae]

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.

1. What you're saying is wrong lol

2. Parker is getting between $9 - $12 million to fight AJ (33%). Wilder will beat that number by several million. Why? Because he's from the US. The sponsor dollars and TV rights bring in a significant amount of extra revenue. (*This is if it's a UK fight. US numbers would be different.)

Parker is only getting 30%.

[Butch.McRae]

Didn't wilder only get $2.1 million for Ortiz??

Yup, but that's also Parker highest purse too and hes getting 33% of the event (likely between $9 - $12 million). Wilder will absolutely get more. It's not even debatable.

[HURTFEELINGS]

I really want Joshua vs Wilder, but Wilder must be realistic first & accept B side he is.

Wilder already said he will accept that, If Wilder WINS the first match, Joshua is B-side in the second match, but ANYTHING lower than 40% is absolutely ridiculous FOR BOTH (He is an UNDEFEATED AMERICAN HW CHAMPION). Thats why they will not accept their own offer when the tables are turned.

Say he does pull off the miracle, who is to say Hearn and AJ would want Wilder in an immediate rematch?
I agree having all of the belts should pull a lot of weight in negotiations, but hey look at GGG and Canelo... Canelo is the A-side, A-side won't change you gotta recognize that.
