Hearn: talks with team wilder start next week but warn not to price themselves out

[ussy]

can you please back up that statement with facts as to why you think wilder brings in similar numbers, viewers and financials like PPV numbers?

All the buzz from casuals in the Uk is about AJ fighting Wilder. My point is by fighting Wilder AJ himself is gonna Make a lot more money than fighting anyone else, bar Fury.

but they alll said joshua was running? I said people should probably wait till he got past parker, but they ignored me and insisted he was ducking and fight wasnt happening. the fact that he was preparing to take on parker was irrelevant apparantly, he should have been negotiating in advance.

I don’t get why AJ deserves so much more. Im a fan of neither but even I can see that’s wilder deserves close to 50/50. Without him this fight would be nowhere near as big, it’s not just one guy bringing in all the fans people would watch this because of Wilder too.

I will help you understand

Wilder currently fights in front of 5k-15k people max, even then they gave away tickets for free. The gate was terrible

He would flop on Ppv

His highest purse is 2m dollars

Wilder has little to no sponsors and nobody knows him outside of hardcore fans due to his cherry picking for 40 fights fighting bums. I mean 3 fights ago wasn’t he fighting a part time boxer ?

Aj

Is a super star

Does 1m plus ppvs

Earns 15m sterling per fight which is around 20m dollars I think

Has sponsors worth millions

Sells out 80k stadiums

Wilder without aj keeps earning 1-2m and eventually will lose as he isn’t good and survived vs Ortiz

Aj without wilder keeps doing 1m ppvs and earning 20m

So who needs who ? Wilder deserves 20-25
Percent which would net him 3 or 4 times his biggest pay day
