Pac/May both draws. Not Comparable To Joshua/Wilder

[HeadShots]

Floyd offering pacquiao a flat fee was floyd realizing pacquiao is dumb and he was just giving it the old college try lol, he knew it probably wouldnt work but might as well give it a shot after all pacman is the same guy who took 200k in cash to sign with golden boy, while juan baby bull diaz got over a million signing bonus for golden boy, juan diaz was nowhere near pacs level of fame and potential, the offer was a slap in the face but pacman was ****** enough to sign.

Floyd knew pac was worth more and deserved a split, he was just trying to see if pac was going to take the bait knowing his history of signing bad deals.

Joshuas deal is a fair one for wilder, wilder should take it and beat aj and get more in the rematch, right now he has zero clout.

Wilder is a relative nobody, its sad to say but he has no fanbase in the states, joshu is wayyyyyy more popular than him in his country, wilder was not promoted well at all, they should have put him on talk shows like jimmy kimmel five years ago.

outside of boxing Pacquiao is in congress.

Mayweather is a wife beating jailbird. floyd is very very dumb.

I've never seen anybody make that comparison until this thread

Of course they don't compare to that and likely never will BUT as much as we the BOXING FANS want it to happen now, it is probably best that Eddie Stalls because the more he does the bigger it becomes. Not a Mega Fight or PPV Worthy fight here in America. AJ does need to come over to the US and fight a Big Baby Miller and makes his rounds with the American Media that will only help build the fight even more

Whether you agree with the flat fee or not, Floyd's offer to Manny was for a fight that would have happened immediately, if it had been accepted. AJ's offer to Wilder - if the rumours are true - is also for an immediate fight.

Oscar's offer to GGG was different, very different, because he was asking Golovkin to accept terms for a fight that wasn't going to happen for another year, whether the offer was accepted or not.

Well that is a fair point about Fishnets offer.

AJ fanboys need to stop with the whole “Wilder should appreciate it coz it’s more than he’s ever seen”

Yes that is a fair point but just ask yourself man - if it was you being offered 12m when it could (and would) potentially be millions more; would your first thought be, ‘ok thanks’?

No it wouldn’t.

who cares about past earnings. If you are going into a superfight with tens and tens of millions generated, why would you act the role of the polite little kid that’s just happy to get what he gets? You wouldn’t if it was you.

Side note. Wilder isn’t exactly down to earth with how much he deserves, I see that, but a flat fee of 12 is BS, regardless of anything from the past.

[4truth]

you're telling me even after a loss to a huge international audience to AJ. Wilder would still be fighting for 1 mil in front of 1000 people?


use some critical thinking skills please.



AJ stands to lose much more. Wilder literally won't lose a damn thing.

kinda missed my point. the point being that if they DON'T make the fight now, a loss by either would make the fight far less lucrative, if the fight would even be worth making at all. The same was not true for Manny and Floyd, obviously.

[uppercut510]

there is a difference but may n pac names shouldn't even be brought up for any other reason outside of the fans scoffed at the flat rate offer n said their fighter shouldn't take it

my only thing is to send another champ a flat rate offer without a venue or date for the fight and tell them they have 48 hours to sign it or you are moving on after you sat n negotiated with joseph parker to reach a 33% deal is just crazy. I don't see how anyone can defend it. now if the deal states when and where the fight will be and says Joshua will take the same split in a rematch if he loses then wilder should do it as he said he would.

AJ has been talking to Floyd. So who knows if this fight will ever get made. Dude might ask for something crazy

Guys, how many PPV's sold has no bearing on the discussion of flat fee offers.

The people that felt Mayweather's flat fee offer to Manny and ODH's flat fee offer to GGG said the concept of the flat fee offer wasn't fair. Now that AJ is doing this to Wilder, the same posters have no issue with the concept of the flat fee offer.

To justify their switch in position and avoid being labeled fanboys or hypocrites these posters are going with "ppv sales" as the determining factor if a flt fee offer can be made. Complete and utter bullsh-t.

All of us really know what is going on:

When Manny and GGG, 2 very popular guys on NSB, got flat fee offers from Floyd and Canelo, 2 guys NSB re not high on, their fans didn't like it because the bigger stars were treating their favorites like regular opponents, not "stars" or "HOF'ers", and said they should just be happy getting a career high payday. That triggered their fans.

AJ is a popular guy on NSB. Wilder is not liked or respected. These same posters don't care if Wilder is getting treated like a regular opponent because to them that is what he is.

Now they don't talk about the concept of the flat fee offer being fair or not but instead talk about Wilder's earnings and how he should be happy he is getting a career high payday.

Hey, come on. I think most people think this offer is BS. It is BS.

The only one being consistent is Robbie Barrett. He supports flat fee offers for huge PPV fights. Nonsense.

The poll does not reflect that most people think its BS but that its about even. I don't have the polls in front of me regrading GGG/Canelo and Floyd/Manny, but I don't recall it being this close.

I see alot of posters comparing the flat fee offers from Pac-May and GGG-Canelo but they couldn't be more different IMO.

Pac had made upwards of $20 million on his own and the Floyd fight may literally have been the biggest fight in boxing in the last 15 years and everyone knew it was gonna destroy PPV records.

GGG made around 5 million in the brook fight I believe. Offers reportedly were $10 million flat fee for Canelo in a fight again everyone knew would do at least 1 million buys on PPV.

Now we have Wilder-JOSHUA. One guy makes 10x more than the other per fight because he's a star where he's from. The other guy makes 2 million per fight and has a somewhat low profile compared to other big name fighters. He's offered 6x more than he's ever made to date. If Pac was offered $120-$140 flat offer and GGG $30 million flat offer, I'd say the majority of the people here would say they're crazy for not jumping all over those offers. Wilder JOSHUA is no where close to those 2 fights here in the US so that $70 PPV per order money coming in is non existent.

Wilder could fight 5 more times and only make 12.5 million or he could take the payday and probably win and control all future negotiation for the rematch.

Bottom line is Wilder-JOSHUA is not on Par with the most recent fights that people were offered flat fees for and were smart to reject them.
