    You ******s keep comparing to Parker. Parker was overpaid. If you compare this with other fights where the A-side was 10x the draw it's a very generous offer. Fights like Mayweather-Mosley/Maidana and Pacquiao-Mosley/Bradley etc the B side made nowhere close to 12.5 mil. Stop pricing Wilder out. Stop thinking because Parker got overpaid that means Wilder deserves it to.

    Wilders option are 12.5 mil or go fight 6-12 fights to earn the same amount.
    So your argument is they overpaid Parker and Martin two people who weren’t threats but you lowball the only other legit guy in the division????

    And no you can’t want too see the fight with unrealistic lowball offers if Parker made 13 million(I’ve heard higher) Wilder deserves 20 mill.

      Never go into business Robbie. It's OK to be for Joshua, but your logic here is awful.

        What's your argument? That Wilder should turn down 12.5 mil and carry on earning 1-2 mil fighting others?

        Lowball? You ******s don't know the meaning.

          Taking 12.5 mil for 1 fight instead of 12 mil for 6-12 fights makes great business sense. You disagree?

            No, not when you know your opponent needs you for a 75mil payday. An intelligent person uses that as leverage and gets all they can get. That is business.

              I hate to admit it cause Robbie B is the utmost AJ trollboy .......... but he's right. (There, I said it!!)
              ............. besides after Windmill cleans AJ's clock and sends him off to Frank Brunoland, then he can command the big $$.

              Oh, and I even think it should be in the UK too, I'd love to see Wembley fall silent and watch the fans in despair over their fallen hero.

                You think Joshua will make 75 mil?

                Joshua doesn't need Wilder. Joshua makes $20 mil fighting anybody. Wilder is a 25-30 mil fight for him. You're overestimating what Wilder brings. Neither Joshua or Wilder are draws in America, the fight will be afternoon American time. This fight might not even be PPV in the US, if it is it does very low numbers.

Joshua's offer is very generous.
                  Sure buds whatever you say man, Keep drinking the kool-aid

                  There’s no denying that AJ is the bigger international draw but when a A-side is negotiating their biggest financial fight ( which at this point Wilder is ) they do it by % not flat rates

                  Obviously None of us know the real financials but if you look at previous mega fights ( which this is) and you factor in gate , Uk PPV , possible US PPV , International Broadcasting rights and sponsorships that this fight could generate near 100 million. I mean Canelo / GGg did more than that so it’s definitely attainable

                  Just answer these questions

                  - Why does Parker deserve a % and Wilder doesn’t even though the fight would be bigger financially and Wilders a bigger draw

                  - if it was a serious offer why was there no date , venue and only a 48hr window to accept with no room for negotiation.

                  - when Oscar offered Gennady a flat rate( 5x his highest purse ) do you think that was a serious offer of someone wanting to make the fight at that time or someone stalling ?

                    Klitschko was a much bigger draw than Wilder. Klitschko was a bigger draw in the ****ing US than Wilder and that made what 50 mil for the fighters? You think Wilder brings in 100 mil? Fantasy land.

                    Parker didn't deserve what he got, how many times do i need to say that. That doesn't mean Wilder should be overpaid.

                    Why would they go in to other details until they agree the financials? It's an offer not a contract to sign.

                      So be lowballed come on bro your telling him to take an insulting offer all because you don’t like wilder for some reason and never want too see him prosper.


                      The fact that you think it’s ok for Hearn too offer Deontay less then PARKER means your position is based on Biased not logic.
