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

[STREET CLEANER]

Wilder's right hand has all the Brits shook.

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.

If there is a rematch close he won't call all the shots.

he will also make a ton of money in the 1st fight and let me tell yiu something when joshua boxed klitcko the both earned £15 million each which is 18 million dollars ....the fight sold 1.7 million sky ppv buys which was $25 dolllars and gate purse was $10 million
Which adds up to a total of 45 million dollars plus i would say t.v rights and klitchcko buys in germany maybe tok the total up to 70 million.
Not all that money will go to the fighters...promotion, stadium,undercard...sky fees and so on so if joshua makes 20 million and wilder earns 12.5 thats pretty fair beczuse joshua brings 70 percent more than what wilder does.
If i was hearn i would say ok wilder you keep your usa money on ppv and we will keep the uk money for joshua and lets see how much you bring to the table.....joshua aint in this business to put food in wilders mouth....let him do it himself and we will see see how popular wilder is in his own country.
But joshua will put his fist in wilders mouth make no mistake about that lol

That's exactly what Wilder should offer to Hearn, Wilder keeps all the US revenue, but we know there's no way Hearn would agree to that. You say AJ isn't in the business to put food in Wilders mouth, well Same applies to Wilder, he shouldn't be giving Aj and Hearn any of the extra revenue generated from fighting him. Showtime will more than likely put in on PPV. Even if sells 300k at $70, thats 21million which Wilder could take home around 9.5 million from that.

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.

Yes, he is retired now, but his last fight was just last year. I agree, Wilder has never had a PPV fight, but his viewing numbers on Showtime in the United States are 3 to 4 times that of Joshua. It may flop, but you never know. Wilder's name is growing in the US and a fight of this magnitude could create a lot of buzz and hype, which in turn could create a lot of PPV buys. Its all speculation until the fight gets made and the final numbers get released.

The cynics are out on prowl

KING Wilder hit it on the nose! The remote controlled robot does NOT want a blemish on his record because he'll finally be seen as beatable, and the abnormal amount of money he and his MASTER makes will come to a screeching halt! Its understandable.

Its a **** offer no doubt, but I thought splits didnt matter

There could be a thread of truth in this.

Joshua and Hearn are VERY protective of the undefeated record, they know this is how boxing makes huge amounts in the modern era. Wilder could put a defeat on Joshua's resume thus killing the cash cow that Eddie Hearn has so carefully cultivated.

Joshua has looked very limited in his last 2 fights, whereas Wilder has improved.

The bodybuilding robot vs the windmilling basketball player...who wants to step up first?

He's terrified of Miller, he wouldn't let him get in the ring after the Ortiz fight despite moaning about Joshua not guaranteeing to let him in the ring after the Parker fight .. more Deontay double standards and lies.

Miller slept with his girl and he can't cope with it.

Champ, stop talking about AJ! Just show up to Miller vs. Duhaupas, and start talking up Miller! Miller won't be afraid!

Joshua hiding behind a 12.5 million offer

What the fack has boxing become

Do you think this fight generates more money than the Parker fight?

Do you think Wilder should get less money than Parker for a fight that generates the same if not more revenue?

Do you think Matchroom should receive ALL U.S ppv revenue?
