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

[strykr619]

If it's a 100 million fight this is a insult that's 88/12 split that's crazy

Show me how this is a 100 million dollar fight? Since when did Joshua have a massive stateside following? Hell Wilder isn't even a house name and his is American....

What's the point of an offer that doesn't state when or where the fight will happen? Weaksauce.

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.

Klitschko was ranked number 1 by the ring,2 by WBA and 3 by IBF,stop talking without facts

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.

So why did you write this?
What other choice does he got? They got him by the balls lol

Not sure where they are getting their calculations from, all of a sudden they are accountants. We just want the fight. Not sure what they are scared of.

They have plucked that number from a single article, in the Telegraph I think it was, which states the fight could generate between £60-75 million ($85-105 million).

How the journalist arrives at that figure I have no idea.

Why people think revenue is the same as a fight purse, I have no idea.

Why people believe Wilder is entitled to something only the true standout PPVs names are entitled too, I have no idea.

Fact is, Wilder either takes his biggest payday or he doesn't, either way AJ can make comparable money in several possible opponents and maybe more against Fury.

Sanctioning body rankings have nothing to do with what was being discussed, but if you want to go by sanctioning bodies, being WBC champion is more important than being the #3 IBF contender.

In terms of the most credible independent world ratings, Klitschko was inactive too long to be ranked.

Yeah, that sure sounds like a duck from Joshua.

LOL!

A fight that will generate over a 100 million and you think Wilder , even though it would be his biggest payday should take 12.5 million ? That’s basically an 87/13 split . Joshua don’t want it.

Less than 50 mil gross actually for this fight. It's Wilder who is doing the ducking, friend. No one in their right mind looks a gift horse that big in the mouth and says no. Unless they're skeered. This is a 50/50 fight. Joshua has the better skill set, Wilder has the hail Mary right hand. And both fighters I'm sure are definitely aware of the odds of either one winning. You can expect a trilogy if Wilder just goes ahead and wakes up, signs the papers, and get's fight #1 in play. If we see an unrealistic counter offer come from Wilder, we know Wilder is too scared to fight Joshua on the big stage in England. Yes, obviously, there should be some compromise, likely not the 12.5 mil original offer, but also there shouldn't be any unrealistic demands from Wilder, or he's proving he doesn't want it.
