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

[Eff Pandas]

When has the B-side start calling the shots?

Any time they have the power to do so. In the degree they can I mean.

And Wilder has a belt so he's got some leverage here. Anyone with a belt has leverage.

Takam got 25%. Parker is getting 32%. Wilder is in most people's minds the number 2 guy so 40% seems perfectly reasonable here unless guys are a Joshua fanboy or don't get how the money works in boxing.

This to address you and everyone else who use the excuse that Wilder only made 2 million for his last fight. It's not what he's made, it's the importance of the fight and what's he's done in the ring so far. There is no other heavyweight, besides Joshua, who's done what Wilder has in the ring. His accomplishments are beyond any other heavyweight and he deserves to be compensated more than any of the other heavyweights. 60/40 deal for both fight seems fair. Personally, I think Joshua is better technically than Wilder and would beat him in a technical fight, but Wilder is a powerful puncher and all it takes is one good shot.

THIS.

F#cking Carlos Takam made $5.5M/USD to fight Joshua lmfao. Anyone who thinks Wilder isn't gonna get or worse yet SHOULDN'T get in the ballpark $7M-$10M+ do not understand the variables involved in boxing. I bet some of you dummies couldn't tip a waitress correctly let alone understand the value of what a HW unification fight between two undefeated champions is worth for both sides.

Anything over $5 million Wilder should be happy to take. That's 2-3 fights worth of $$$$. Win and then he can print his own money.

??? I thought you watch boxing regularly lol you do realize the guys like Charles Martin and Takam got 5 and 6 million. Maybe this is a troll lol

Wilder should stick to his guns.stay with that 50/50 cause if a.j. really want all them belts he gonna have to eventually go through wilder

What has wilder done ?

Look at his damn resume, full of can drivers and gifted a belt

He almost lost his last fight vs a 50 year old and was lucky Ortiz gassed

You wilder fans have lost grip of reality

The reality is wilder had the worst resume of any hw champ and is a typical American hype job product who will lose

He couldn’t even sell out his last fight

He makes 1.5m
Per fight and is now suddenly demanded 15m lmao by asking for insane splits

He should be grateful aj will fight him and stop pricing himself out

He is no better than the other American fool Joshua knocked out

Martin wasn’t it ? Yeah he got 6m as champ

Wilder gets that much and makes triple his highest pay day

Guess what wilder is another fight for aj,
Nothing special

[Steven Mccowan]

Well this fight aint happening next lol. One guy cant make couple mil a fight and other guy make 20 mil a fight and then actually think they gonna pretty much half the cash. I just dont see that ever happening unfortunately

Joshua would have an even stronger standing after beating Parker so 40% for Wilder is not a given or a right for him. Joshua would have 3 belts, I repeat 3 belts to Wilder's 1. Considering he's the draw of the event I don't see how Wilder should get 40%. If I'm Hearn and Joshua I'm not giving up 40% of the pot when I have 75% of the belts and will be responsible for at least 85-90% of the revenue. Only Americans don't get this it seems.

[SchoolTheseCats]

So basically wilder asking for same deal as Parker just higher % for first fight, Parker getting around 33-34%. If Parker was to win he gets lion share in rematch nothing wrong with that

Thats not what this is about. Its not a **** measuring contest. Well to Joshua & Wilder its not. To Joshua & Wilder fanboys or people who don't get how this works it might be.

Considering he's the draw of the event I don't see how Wilder should get 40%.

I'm not surprised you don't understand. Plenty of cats don't seem to grasp the money & how the symbiotic part of this sport works with revenue.

If I'm Hearn and Joshua I'm not giving up 40% of the pot when I have 75% of the belts and will be responsible for at least 80% of the revenue.

LOL wut?!?!?! What wonky math has you believing these things even matter.

Only Americans don't get this it seems.

I don't think it gots anything to do with nationality. I think some mfers don't understand this business.

Takam got 25% & $5.5M/USD & he was nobody from nowhere. Parker is getting 32% & likely $8M-$10M & is considered the lesser title holder by most pundits. Wilder is the 2nd best guy in the division & 40% is PERFECTLY REASONABLE and you'll see when Hearn lines up with this thought as well when the numbers get talked about & released. Might end up being 38% or some sh^t, but Wilder is extremely likely to touch 8 digits in this fight.

I've said it since the Klitchsko fight (which was 50/50). Parker gets 30% - 35% (which is what happened), and Wilder will get 35% - 40% (which will also happen)

Anybody who thinks otherwise either (1) doesn't understand boxing or hasn't really followed it closely, (2) is on these threads for the purpose of being a fan boy, or (3) is just trolling
