    So it’s less than Parker got, and less than a mandatory would get (WBO mandates a 75/25 split between champ and mando) and it’s a flat rate

    It’s a lowball offer. But I still hope he takes it. It’ll shut up the UKTrolls at least.

        It’s more than Parker got paid.

          Sorry Ray, I meant percentage wise. This fight will do more than the Parker fight.

            I really do believe that Wilder can be a major star in American sport over the next 5 years, Mayweather did it late in age and I seriously do believe Wilder can too, he needs this fight to get to that point doe.

              If I had to guess I'd say this fight would do like 500k tops. Bit of a difference there IMO.
              No man this fight on prime time USA PPV would easily sell I think people are underestimating the crossover appeal this fight will have

              The undisputed HW title you better believe ESPN and all the sports networks would be all over this

                When he is 50% of the party that will bring in a 100ml or way more its a little short.

                I don't believe in superfights where one guy gets like 80% of the take and the other gets peanuts by comparison, it takes two to tango there shouldn't be such a wide gap between two superstars of the division.

                Should be no less than AJ 60- Wilder 40 , people want to see AJ fight Wilder , he is important.

                    I don’t think that’s surprising at all. I could probably guess who half of them are lol

                      If it's true then it's a low ball offer and I'm an AJ fan.

                      But it's just the start of negotiations, nobody expects the first offer to be accepted but it sets the tone of what's to follow.

                      Could be a worse initial offer, remember when Bowe offered Lewis $3 mill flat fee.
