Comments Thread For: Team Wilder Plan Counter To $12.5 Million Flat Fee For Joshua

[Rip Chudd]

This just shows what people have been saying all along, Hearn doesn't want the fight.

The 'take it or leave it' bit is a bit over the top. Let Eddie float out the initial offer and then they can get down to negotiating just like he did with Higgins and Parker.

Exactly this.

All the Wilder fans were tearing their hair out when Parker asked for 50%. “He’s not trying to duck, it’s called NEGOTIATING” they said.

Well, here we are again, yet their argument has somehow reversed.

According to a report in The Telegraph, promoter Eddie Hearn and IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua have sent a "take it or leave it" flat fee offer of $12.5 million to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder for a unification. The contract was sent over with a deadline of 48 hours to accept the offer - or Joshua will likely make a mandatory defense against Alexander Povetkin of Russia.

FACT: you make a " take it or leave it " offer, when you don't really want the fight..... and you negotiate in good faith, when you do..... just like they did with Parker lol

I like Joshua, and have defended him recently for a number of reasons

and I did that despite the fact my boy Parker was fighting him

but yea, Wilder obviously wants that fight more than Team Joshua do

no way should Parker make more money than Wilder, just because he is an easier/preferred opponent

the Joshua fanboys need to start keeping it real..... or else they will cushion their fighters opponent selection..... just like the golov-tards do for Hypekin

[Butch.McRae]

hey Manny and ggg were supposed to take flat Fees and they were much bigger names and were making more money than wilder

Where is the evidence of GGG making much more money than Wilder? Thought that part was interesting. Also curious about the much bigger name part.

You're exxagerrating about GGG. Wilder's live gates (he's cleared 12k tickets in his last two fights), ratings (1MM + views in his last two fights on premium cable), and purse ($2 million) shows he's the most popular US born guy right now. I guarantee you that the GGG May 5th fight doesn't clear 1 million views on premium cable (unless they force it on PPV, but I doubt it since it's already been moved to stubhub lol)

The reality is, Wilder is more popular than some here like to acknowledge. His social media following clearly shows that too.

By design.

I'm hoping Wilder takes it and Hearn is left struggling to find a way out.

he should agree..... so long as the terms are reversed in the rematch

/done

Wilder just another cultural b*tch looking for welfare. Fug him. He's not even B side. He's a lazy whiner wanting a handout. AJ is going to kick this pretenders azz. Wilder is the worst HW in history.

trust this ****ter to support the guys who clearly don't want that fight

must be a Golovkin fan

[aboutfkntime]

Why do you have to bring Wilders race into this? why do you white boys always get so sensitive and bring up race? ''cultural *****'' what does that mean?

are you mentally inept to see that Hearn is offering wilder 12.5 million for the biggest fight in modern boxing while offerring no ppv or gate money. thats obviously a duck, but your busy bringing up wilders race to look at the real issues.

he is a **** poster, and likely an even ****tier person

[SkillspayBills]

At the end of t he day Hearn is going to say "I offered Wilder 6 TIMES more than he has ever made and he didn't accept it....so here's Povetkin/Miller next." It's so damn obvious he doesn't want the fight next.

Why say take it or leave it if you're trying to negotiate? Why start at a position so unreasonable?
