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

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Lets get a couple of facts out. Wilder is far and extremely more popular in the US than AJ is. Last time I checked, US PPV is worth about 4 times the amount of UK PPV. And AJ doesn't fight on a US PPV unless it includes Wilder. So 100k US PPVs is worth approximately 400k UK PPVs, how much would it be if there is over 500k purchases in the US. Well, I guess Hearn should offer Wilder 12.5 plus all US income being that Wilder is the draw in the US. And AJ can keep all the money from the UK. Would that be fair? Warning, Wilder could possibly end up making more than AJ if that were the deal. Or let me get this clear, AJ should get the bulk of all this new income, even though it's Wilder that brings it in? How is this a fair deal exactly?

it is not a very good offer at all

not considering the revenue that Joshua/Wilder would pull

if Hearn/Joshua stick to their guns, they clearly don't want that fight

Parker earned around 35%

Yeah but remember, he says, as do many, that he'll blast AJ out of there, he's hardly being asked to walk over hot coals to prove himself, one fight where he's the B side (and still earning second biggest check in boxing this year) and the world is then his oyster.

Let's face it he's hardly proved himself a real champion yet, he hasn't had champions moment, he's had one tricky opponent in all his defences, it's time to back up all the talk and then name his price. He'll get a lot more respect and money if he stops posturing over who's pulling more cash in this fight and just goes in and does the business.

Joshua taking a page out of the Mayweather book. Wrong of both of them.

[Scopedog]

Wilder delivers back-to-back sensational KO wins while Joshua fuddles his way through two awkward and boring fights were his opponent probably won more credit than he did and Hearn feels he's in a position to put this kind of garbage deal on the table? Oldest trick in the book, throw out an insulting lowball and then claim that they actually don't want the fight when they justly throw it back in your face. Hearn is rapidly becoming scummier than Don King and Bob Arum combined.

And of course, Robbie Brainlet and a bunch of other bad posters crawl out of the woodwork to defend it, talking like a bunch of handwringing hook-nosed bankers with reasons why actually this makes total sense and it's totally a fair offer. Just shut up, it's obvious that you don't want the fight to happen either because it means you might have to eat humble pie if Joshua gets knocked out. Just another reason in a long list of reasons that lately I've been ashamed to call myself British.

The fanboy financial advisers are upset. How do these ******s have the nerve to say that Joshua is ducking when Wilder has been fighting bums his entire career.

Where is Wilder's offer to AJ? If he is such a big draw then why is he waiting for offers? Beggars can't be choosers or is Wilder content with fighting nobodies and appearing of reality TV for the next few years?

All you dummies out there on Wilder's nutsacks, please remind me when was the last time this guy fought on PPV.

The problem is you all live in a delusional world

Nobody knows wilder, get that in your head first of all, apart from hardcore fans, he is a nobody

He can’t sell out arenas when he currently fights and he certainly won’t do any Ppv numbers vs anyone

Stop ducking and sign to fight should be the message form your accountants

[iamboxing]

To put this into context, Prince Naseem Hamed, a featherweight, made 6 million fighting Barrera 17 years ago. I hope Wilder accepts, but let's not pretend it's a fair offer. Not mentioning if the fight is next, where the venue will be and a crappy offer like this says what about their offer? They hope he won't accept such a **** offer, but he might and shame Hearn.

Eddie "the worm" Hearn showing what a slippery little **** he is

Yet he's watched by millions in America and AJ barely breaks 300k. Yeah keep living in that alternate facts universe

How do these ******s have the nerve to say that Joshua is ducking when Wilder has been fighting bums his entire career.

Wilder beat Stiverne when he was #2 in the world and Ortiz when he was #3 in the world.

Joshua doesn't have a single top 5 win on his resume, let alone top 3.

You've been brainwashed into believing something that doesn't hold up when you look at the facts.
