Accountants and mathematicians assemble.

Is this fair or lowball?

First of all, that avi is awesome.

Second of all, I don't know. Whether it's good or not depends on what the fight itself can generate (and NOT on what Wilder has earned in the past!).

For instance, if Manny had taken $40 or 50m to fight Mayweather he would have been getting WAY the short end of the stick! That's true even though it would have been a tremendous payday relative to what Pacquiao had earned in other fights. That may also be the case with $12.5m for this fight too, but in order to have a strong opinion about this I'd need more data from which I can estimate what this fight can generate.

But given the range of what it could probably earn in my mind, I'd much rather a % than a flat payment if I were Wilder. The upperbound is too high. If this fight does $50m or more, then taking $12.5m would make Wilder a giant cuck.

Boksfan has seen many pictures of the US of A from mom's basement, shows how much you know. he even met a lad from there on his kidney pie runs, or was that when he had the kidney pie runs? So he knows clearly that no English fighter would want to fight a yank, on the cobbles or otherwise unless it was a proper distance from mom's basement!!!

He is just jealous. He listen to American music and is a fan of American movies.

I bet he would love Alabama where kid Deontay is from. As az backwards as that state is he would feel right at home.

A real promoter who has years of experience in the ppv business tells it like it is. Joshua and Hearn really don't want the fight. The lowest wilder should take is 40%. Said by Richard schaeffer himself.

Exactly this!!! That's why I'm so confused about the poll with so many so called boxing fans saying this is fair. Are they just haters? Alts? Delusional....?

[STREET CLEANER]

This can't be spun. A low ball offer with the purpose of not having the fight.

Who is a boxing star in US and can actually sell a fight? Is Wilder the best that a boxer can do there? Open TV and 10k at the event? Why US audience does not support their own fighters? You telling me this fight will do good numbers in US? You for real?
