Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Anthony Joshua is a Joke, He's Scared

Are you off your nut lol.....do you think all $100 million will be for the fighters.....you have undercards , promotion fees , stadiums , sky fees and taxes so no its not $100 million purse gumbo.
Your brains are as rare as rocking horse **** lol

If I was to guess I believe it will generate

1m UK PPV buys at $20 a piece = $20m
90,000 tickets average say $100 a piece so = $10m
It won't be PPV over here so that won't be a huge chunk.

And god knows what else so let's highball it an say it makes $80m of which will be 50% for the fighters so they will split $40m is my guess on the high end.

I can't believe there are people in here who actually think the fighters get 100% of every cut like the promoters, venues, undercards etc; do this all for free.

You guys have to have more faith in Joshua. That Flat fee is a duck. I think Joshua beats Wilder but he and hearn are terrified of that right hand. It sounds like the UK fans are scared too.

Those are exactly my feelings.

Those seem like fighting words........what's Joshua going to do now? More low balling probably.

These quotes are a couple of weeks old.

What!? Americans don't pay for PPV's anymore? How about Mayweather's last two fights? There were 4.3 million PPV buys in the United States when he fought Mcgregor and 4.6 million PPV buys in the United States when he fought Pacman. I guess you rate Stiverne over Wilder as a better WBC heavyweight champ too. Wilder wants to fight the best, but he is getting avoided. If he was an easy target, then Hearn/Joshua would have bought the WBC belt a long time ago like he did when he bought the IBF from Martin.

Mayweather is retired now though and nobody else comes close to his numbers. Wilder has never had a PPV fight but I'm guessing it would flop in the current US market.

All these AJ fan girls are ****** to be calling out Wilder for not taking that 12 million flat fee. Not a Wilder fan but Wilder and his team would be ****** to take that offer. Who cares if it's 6x what Wilder has made before. It takes 2 to make a fight and both AJ and Hearn will make a lot more money fighting Wilder than any other fighter. Why would Wilder allow AJ and Hearn to keep the extra revenue generated from their fight? Why would Wilder allow AJ to take in all the US revenue as well. Besides, it's a flat fee offer with no date, no venue and no guarantee of the fight being next. We all know AJ and Hearn ain't taking no flat fee in a rematch if Wilder wins. Will any of you take a check for $10k from a deal you big part of from you boss, which is 10 what you make in a week, knowing that that deal you were part of was worth a million dollars? Wilder should get a guarantee form Espinoza that the fight would be on PPV and dictate to Hearn the he'll take the flat fee plus keep all the US PPV revenue and US sponsership.

I cant believe that people thing a flat fee, with a 48hr turn around with no details fleshed out (date, time, venue) is a legit offer. You guys are either ******ed or you're perfectly ok with this level of ducking. It's pretty telling how much people are ignoring the facts to spout useless drivel.

I'd say take the 12.5m, become unified heavyweight champion, then Wilder can call the shots after that.

Without any belts, Joshua becomes just another contender.

I would say it makes at least 1.7 or maybe 2mil seeing as joshua and klitchcko did over 1.5 and joshua is more popular now than before....but even if it makes 80 million it dont all go to the fighters and yiur right maybe a 20 million purse for AJ and 12.5 wilder.
Seing as joshua has 3 belts and will bring in 80% of revenue to me thats a fair deal and if wilder was to win then all of it will be reversed in terms of purse and location.
I see no issue with the offer from team joshua to wilder mate

[Hmabshir]

The fight is a 100 million dollar fight and Parker was offered 33% for the fight with Joshua. Wilder is way more famous than Parker and he isn’t even getting 33%. Qilder is basically getting scammed. Mandatorys get 25% of the purse wilder is getting 12.5%. This shows you that Hearn and his team aren’t even serious simply because they know deep down inside their heart that wilder can and I’m not saying he will b/c it’s a amazing fight and aj is the better boxer but they know that wilder can knock out Joshua in a vicious bloody execution type style that will completely shatter Ajs reputation and ruin his upside in marketing.
