LOL! at Joshua vs Wilder $100m revenue projections

[FLY TY]

How much did Parker get paid?

I'll help you out. Parker got paid less that 6 million. I'm guessing between 4-5 million. Wilder is lucky Hearn is offering him 12.5m.

You get those Parker numbers because Eddie Hearn's lying ass said so. All other indications are that he got around double that. Of course he won't come out and say what he got because he wants to fight on AJ's undercard next.

Google it can't remember the source I saw it. Out of the 80 dollar PPV price either by Showtime or HBO. They (HBO or Showtime) take half. That's how they make buisness.

This is true. I think the fighters split around 45%.

I don’t think 100 million generates is really that outlandish

For a HW fight for all the straps with 2 unbeaten prime fighters

UK PPV = 1.5 million ( based on what AJ/Klit did) = 40million - 20-24 take home

Gate 15-20 millio. ( AJ / Klit did 13-14 ) probably
Did in excess of 20 if you count the double dipping Hearn and Stubhub did

Sponsorships- 5 million

International Rights and PPV - 5-10 million ( kind of a guess but they have over 200 countries to sell the rights too ) even if they avg 25 k each that’s 5 mil plus PPV revenue for Canada , Australia, New Zealand

Right there that’s 65 million generated

Now add in US PPV. I don’t know why people on here think it can’t do US PPV when was the last Fight of this magnitude not PPV let’s say it does 200k slightly above GGg/ Jacobs or Ward / Kov that’s another 15 million or 7.5 take home

Right there being super conservative it’s already at 85 million I don’t think getting another 15 million would be all that difficult to do especially if done in Vegas with a site fee and a higher gate revenue

It is a $100M fight if promoted correctly. Hearn knows this. It is an absolute mega fight, bigger than Canelo-GGG. It is up there with Floyd-Pacquiao. Sure, Wilder might not be pulling the same numbers, but his profile is big enough to make this an insanely huge fight. Especially if the national loyalties are played up.

The fight does 100 easily. What you have are AJ fans and/or Wilder haters just trying to justify a flat fee of $12 million as an overpayment.

To me, it's simple. If Hearn thinks the fight will bomb, offer the guy a % split. That way, if the numbers aren't what's being projected, he'll earn less than 12 million. They aren't doing that because they are being greedy, plain and simple. They know what this fight is worth.

I have a hard time believing this fight sells 200k on US PPV at what like 2 or 3 in the afternoon? People aren’t getting together to have an afternoon fight party.

Then maybe they need a venue change. AJ is a hustler, remember...

Surely the dude will fight in Vegas if it doubles his purse, right?

Hearns is a ****ing liar first of all second of all hr was talking about £m not us millions and the number being thrown out here on this site is £6m that comes out to $8.5m . Now is that just the guarantee without counting the ppv money?

Both fighters will receive a proportion of the revenue from pay-per-view TV sales, with the bout being shown live on Sky Sports Box Office.

What’s the avg start time for the main event 11 if they push it a hour or so that makes it around 7 pm Eastern time the usual start time for every night NFL, NBA , NHL game

There is no way this fight doesn’t surpass ggg/ Lemieux or GGg / Jacobs #s
