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

[Raggamuffin]

What other choice does he got? They got him by the balls lol.

He can walk away with his real and most prestigious belt in boxing history and let the fans shame Hearn and Joshua. What choice, lmfao.

So Klitchko was number 10 when Joshua beat him?

klitschko was coming off of an embarrassing loss and 18 month layoff and had been removed from most credible rankings. he was still a big name and it was a huge win for AJ, but klitschko wasnt a consensus top 3 guy anymore.

[Ake-Dawg]

He appears in UK and Europe (That’s international)
He isn’t American and has never fought there (So no money there)
That’s up to Wilder to accept an offer 4 times or more what he usually earns.

As fans we should just want to see the fight, don’t you want to see that fight?

I definitely want to see the fight. I just don't understand why folks are supporting an offer by Hearn that isn't likely to get the fight made.

I'm a fan of the actual fights. Not a particular fighter. Not the size of the purses. It irks me to see these supposed fans of the sport support a fighter and his purse size. Its the same crap folks hated about Mayweather and Alvarez fans who touted how much money they could make.

Yeah you’re right. Stiverne is a much better win than Klitschko because he was ranked number 2. Despite his best win being Chris arreola LOL.

klitschko is obviously a bigger win and a bigger name commercially, but it doesnt change the fact that wilder has beaten two top guys while they were on top and aj's biggest win is a guy who hadn't fought in a year in a half and looked horrible in a loss before that layoff.

You sound crazy. The fans don't care about the wbc like that. We what to see the best fight period. You got guy walking around with three belts and ibo and the other one with the wbc at this point does it even matter? We just want to see the damn fight. Now 12 is low ball but if he doesn't take the fight it will hurt him more than aj.

[Kagami Taiga]

Take it or leave it never works in a fight of this magnitude. That's a fact. Anyone arguing that this is not a lowball literally doesnt pay attention to boxing. No way team Wilder takes this. And for all those doubting whether this is a 100million fight, thats EXACTLY why take it or leave it does not work. No1 knows how much this fight can gross...it has heavy potential and to make it work, it has to be promoted hard by both sides. Joshua may be big in the UK, but hes definitely not bigger than Wilder in the states. This fight can take him to that next level and all sides need to be equally vested. A flat fee isn't gonna cut it. So please lets not act dumb.

[BlakBread904]

i think $12.5 flat is a lowball. Deontay can't even see the American money?

however, if im team wilder and very confident in my guy, I'd seriously consider taking the short in order to make a statement win. this fight is definitely 50/50

So then its an easy fight to make, hence why we all baffled by the turn around in the mentality on here. A month ago it was "We shouldn't care what they make" they should just make that fight.

One fighter was "No more ducking, no more dodging, no more excuses" etc, There is an offer on the table for 4/5 times what that fighter usually makes....No excuses make that fight happen.

[boxingfan4life]

For those saying wilder should sign cause of the money clearly don't have any business concept. The contract doesn't specify the when, where, or time this fight will take place. He signs this contract and Hearn will be able to have the fight whenever he wants. It can be next year or the year after that. Also flat fee means he gets no split of the pay per view or gate revenue. That's not right for a fight headlining two undefeated champions who are the best in the division. Especially for a fight of this magnitude
