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

[Ray*]

This guy is a joker, you can’t take him seriously. He was trying to claim he has been after fighting the best here lol.

[Straightener]

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?

It should do bigger numbers for sure

How much did Parker get in the end ? 12.5 million ?

I’m saying from what wilder makes / brings to the table 12.5 million is a hefty wedge for someone who can’t sell out his home town

[mvooom]

Wilder thinks he is a big draw but he isn’t. I bet AJ has more fans in the US than Wilder. Wilder should take the 12.5 Million which is 10 times more than what he made in his last fight against his so far best opponent Ortiz.

Maths!

2 x 10 isn't 12.5.

yeah, people should be able to read between the lines. although i think some posters will choose not to.

There are no lines to be read between. Wilder has been talking about a fight with Joshua for a whole year. He has attempted to negotiate a fight previously but was asked to fight Whyte. He said sure, if its a two fight contract that guarantees me Joshua if I win. Hearn said no. Now hear we are, Team Wilder received the offer they asked for and instead of talking about the merits of the offer in terms of what's typical of megafights, folks are changing the narrative.

FYI, as other posters have stated, the quote for this article is old. It was made prior to the offer. Let's discuss things in context, not just spew tripe in support of our fav fighter.

thats the key point. theyve got a generous offer and still doing the whole 'fight wont happen, im being avoided schtick'

sometimes i wonder what wilder takes. This has nothing to do with the big issue on ground, u were given an offer, do u accept it,yes or no.. its that simple...this is off point.

You left out the answer to question 3. Which is critical to a discussion of the offer. Also, Parker received a reported $13M+.

Also, Joshua stands to make a heft wedge more than what he usually brings in. No one is asking Joshua to take a pay cut to facilitate Wilder's purse.

The quote was made before the offer.

"fast eddie" & the underwearsalesman trying to price birdlegs out of the fight

This coming from a fighter who at almost 40 fights famously stated "the top 10 HWs are never available to fight me". And scared of wat? Someone who took 13 RDS to ko Fat Stiverne and 11 RDS to ko an old slow Cuban and some Frenchy bum Duhappas!!
