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

[Raggamuffin]

That's what I originally said. Then u brought up some bull**** saying he shouldnt take the fight and got the golden wbc belt . He he has no choice but to take the fight.

Why do you keep saying that he he he he he has no choice lmao??? Joshua isn’t the hvw champion lmao.

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.

It should be an easy fight to make, yet in my view, Richard Schaeffer's view, and many other poster's view, Hearn is making it harder than it should be by offering a flat fee.

I find it interesting that while you continue to deride others for talking money, you bring up the ratio between prior purses and the offer. You can't have it both ways.

Sure Tim Bit

Let’s ignore the fact Wilders team recently said they’d take 40 % ( most likely
Willing to go down a little bit)

That’s why even with Hearn blatantly lying saying this fight generates about 40 mil

Which means it do significantly less revenue then a Klit fight ( hard to believe ) Wilder % is still below that of Parker’s

But yeah Hearn wants to make the fight next and is making a honest effort by offering a flat rate with no other relevant info and a 2 day window to accept, in a fight that many expect would end up being as little as 10-15% of the pie

Keep drinking the kool - aid Tim bit

Yeah Hearn is making the fight, what was Wilder's offer towards Joshua team? You can go full ******ed if you like, I don't care

[Eff Pandas]

How is this offer (if true) bad for Wilder? Did you actually read the article or just the headline?

From the article itself, regardless of an AJ win, the next fight is to be negotiated at a 50-50 level and the rematch clause states Wilder will have that in the US. That's a win/win for Wilder, in fact, it is absolutely everything Wilder wanted. He is the one that stated he would accept everything AJ throws at him, as long as he can get the same in return.

To top it all off, Wilder will be getting paid $10 million dollars more than his biggest ever pay day....ten million dollars.

Parker also got his biggest payday by a mile vs Joshua. And he got more than Wilder has been offered which says a lot about Hearn's mindset.

He's saying "we can grow this fight bigger so I'm going to offer sh^t mney", but its also saying "we don't want this fight right now (2018) so I'm going to offer sh^t money" cuz from how things are likely going to start getting called in Joshua will have mandatory's galore that'll keep Joshua vs Wilder from happening til 2020 or potne

[labash]

How on earth is $12.5M not enough for Wilder? He's not gonna get any more..... Estimated revenue is not on the table. The excess goes to the A-class. As B-side on seat and take the offer. Take it or your loose out, AJ on the go

[Removed Now]

Why do you keep saying that he he he he he has no choice lmao??? Joshua isn’t the hvw champion lmao.

Joshua isn't (an) heavyweight champion? OK. It was a typo.

Yeah, that sure sounds like a duck from Joshua.

LOL!



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.

Why is the conversation more about what Wilder's expectations should be, what he deserves or doesn't deserve, and how much Joshua can make fighting the Takams and the Whytes? Shouldn't it be about whether or not the offer, in terms of what is reasonably expected to happen in fights of this magnitude, is a legit opening salvo. I mean when has there ever been a flat fee agreed to for a ppv fight? Do you really think that Joshua would agree to this offer if he were Wilder (which he stated he would)?.

It’s not that 12.5 million isn’t enough , it’s the fact that the fight will probably generate around a 100 million and that comes out to like an 87/13 split . Does that sound fair ? They have to stop with all this flat fee stuff and talk percentages.

[Straightener]

a champ deserves a negotiation hell parker got negotiations wilder doesn't?, a flat fee of 12.5 is cool if aj will take the same in a rematch clause if he gets knocked out. but either way I hope they work it out.

Yeh I hope it gets fixed soon too

I’m sure this fight will be next

Povetkin has the tools to derail the fight we want to see . I think hearns realising that hence why he’s trying to push the wilder fight through

[SUBZER0ED]

Bottom line, if these two fighters truly want to fight each other, they will make it happen. Stay tuned....
