Everyone in boxing is talking about Hearn and Joshua's

[Raggamuffin]

Guys, just to let you know... we are speculating on speculation lmao.

[Raggamuffin]

Where is the 100 mil figure coming from?

You do realise revenue is different to purses... Even if it generated 100 mil revenue, TV companies etc get paid out of ppv for example...

However tell me where you get 100 mil from.

It’s a number that was thrown around by someone.

[soul_survivor]

I think that you understand what’s going on but you have to post what you post, lmao.

What a ****** ass Joshua **** blowing post lmao. If the projections were right from the tweet and you still agree with Wilder being paid $12 then something is wrong with you as a fight fan.

And my post as I said is subject to change if the fight is said to generate less than 100 mil.

No fighter of Wilders caliber should ever accept a flat fee.

He has Haymon in his corner so all of the facts will come out soon. If they don’t accept the pay day then you can bet uncle AL has an answer.

A fighter of Wilder's calibre? The guy has one world class win in 10 years as a pro and 40 fights.... what exactly is his calibre?

He certainly isn't skilled enough and he admits it himself with is "skills don't pay the bills."

So what calibre is left? Are we talking his popularity? His branding? His drawing power? All of that is non existent compared to AJ.

GGG, who is actually a fighter of high calibre and has far more recognition than Wilder only got paid $3 million more, so how is Widler getting paid 12 a bad thing in his first ever PPV?? That's too much some may say taking into account all those factors.

Plus you and company keep ****ing on about how much money the fight will generate...what does that have to do with a purse? There are only some fighters that can command a percentage of revenue, currently active Canelo, GGG, AJ and maybe a couple others. Wilder is not one of those so why should he get a cut of £60-75 million?

Heck, we don't even know what cut AJ is going to get.

These are the only two things that need to be addressed in your God awfully sad post, lmao.

Wilders caliber is that he is considered 1 of the 2 best heavies in the world does and he’s a great threat to Joshua and that he can help generate more revenue for their fight. That’s his caliber.

And the 2nd paragraph I found amazingly ****en ****** in thought and wanted to personally tell you that.

[rolshans]

Wilder fanboys don't like the offer because they're scared their guy will lose -- FACTS.

Wilders fans don’t like alts because they’re built to stir up **** with ****** lupid comments.

[Raggamuffin]

If Haymon doesn’t agree then its a lowball offer. That’s the one thing that fans can be sure about Haymon. He gets the job done!

It’s a number that was thrown around by someone.

That's not a good number to be thrown around then is it. It a big number to be thrown around which makes the split look worse than it is.

In recent times, how many boxers have been paid 12.5 mil? I believe in the last 5 years there are very few.

How many fights have generated 100 million revenue in the last 5 years? Fighters don't get the whole pie of the revenue as well anyway...

Since AJ and Wilder have not ever sold a PPV in the US, then 100 mil seems very high to me. However I am happy to accept it if there's at least some sort of data to back it up.

[PensionKiller]

Just a rough guess but based on previous #s a 100 million dollar generated or 100 mil take home for this fight isn’t so extreme just based on these estimates

UK PPV - 1.5 mil ( similar to AJ/Klit) = 40 mil 20-24 take home

US PPV - 200-500k ( low end being conservative ) = 15-37mil and 7.5 - 18 mil take home

Gate =15-20 million ( AJ/Klit did around 13 . Canelo/GGg did 27 million

International Rights = at least 5-10 million

Sponsorships = 5 million

That’s a low end take home of 50 million with it generating about 75 million and a high end take home of roughly 75 million off of 115 million

None of #s are aggressive and there’s probably other revenue streams that you could add

But even at 50 take home , this fight would certainly do more why should Wilder accept 25% a loser % then Parker and a loser % a Mando would get in what certainly be the biggest financial fight of the year.

So US PPV will be 200k-500k in the afternoon since it is in the UK? Hopefully so considering Wilder on non PPV vs Ortiz only did 1.2 mil viewers

50 is more realistic for the fighters to share when you take away TV company shares.

[SUBZER0ED]

In the Mayweather vs Pacquiao situation, they were both accomplished superstars. In this case, Joshua alone is the superstar who sells out huge soccer stadiums with 78k seats. Wilder, with his 40 wins, has sold 14k seats at best against Ortiz. Why offer Wilder a mint?
