    Why is Wilder's team not making any offer to Joshua?

    By team I mean the entire group that makes fights possible, which includes Haymon, Espinoza, under PBC/Showtime banners.
    If Wilder's camp believes the fight with Joshua will be huge in the US, what are they doing to make it happen?
    Why does it have to be only Hearn that does the offering?
    Wilder got the WBC title, it's not like he's a mere mandatory to AJ.
    Any mature explanation to this strange situation?

    If Wilder was serious he'd ask for the same deal as Parker. Joshua would have no choice but to accept or look like a bitch. But Wilder doesn't want it so won't happen.

      Who says they aren't? Or if they aren't who says they won't after the Parker fight?

      To me I've always felt the time to talk about the fight is post-whatever fight they got planned.

      Sh^t Parker could win. Whats a deal with Joshua worth then?

      By team I mean the entire group that makes fights possible, which includes Haymon, Espinoza, under PBC/Showtime banners.
      Espinoza isn't Team Wilder lol. Espinoza is Team Joshua & Wilder if anything. But yea I'm sure he's interested in showing the fight on Showtime, but he's got no dog in that fight & I'd assume he's rooting on Joshua over Wilder cuz Joshua gots the bigger upside. So he's probably more Team Joshua.

      If Wilder's camp believes the fight with Joshua will be huge in the US, what are they doing to make it happen?
      Wilder seems to talk about it a lot. All the rest would be behind the scenes sh^t we'd rarely see so its hard to say they are or aren't trying to make it happen. Although I can't see them not wanting it to happen cuz MONEY.

      Why does it have to be only Hearn that does the offering?
      Well historically it does seem like the lead/cash cow guy promoter is the one that handles this sorta sh^t way more often. I bet Hearn gots a whole special contract for Joshua fights vs other guys he promotes thats how specific they got things dialed in with Joshua probably.

        Wilder is a bigger fight, so he brings MORE money,
        he also brings the US market, bigger market = MORE money,
        he also offers a chance at holding ALL belts at once = More money

        So he brings in more money than Parker so he deserves more money, which makes AJ more money.

        I still dont understand AJ's team wanting someone to beat Wilder first, before AJ attempts to be the 1st one, if someone does, it makes their fight go away.

          Deserves? No he doesn't. Parker is getting overpaid, doesn't mean Wilder should be too. 30-35% for a fight against someone that is 10X the draw is more than fair.

            There’s a very good chance Joshua will be fighting Parker again next anyway so why worry?

              It's reported that Parker is getting around 40% (13 of 33 if you can do the math) what is the same Wilder is asking

                Wrong. It's reported inbetween 30 and 35%, Hearn also said that too.

                    Because Wilder is afraid to fight outside of his country and Joshua has too many fans in UK to go to Alabama.
