Comments Thread For: Joshua To Team Wilder: Give Me $50 Million - I'll Sign Tomorrow!

[Ake-Dawg]

Joshua just threw a statement back in regards to 100million quoted by numerous people. If that fight is 100Million then he is willing to take 50% and sign the contract tomorrow. It doesnt get clearer than that.

He isn't the one that claimed someone is ducking and dodging him, or no more excuses. So if the accountants on these boards can get Showtime or any american networks to get that easy money then we would have the fight that we all craved. I want to see the fight thats why i want these two to sort out the offers on the table.

Why respond if your not going to speak to my post. Every post isn't an argument that someone is ducking. Unfortunately you and others spend more time defending Joshua against supposed ducking allegations than you spend responding to legit opinions on each sides actions.

Did Parker take risk or Martin??? No and they got lots of cash ..... Wilder took a massive risk with Ortiz and if Parker got 33% then Wilder has every Right too 40 percent. While I’ll admit he only has 2 top 10 ( 5 in ratings) under his belt, he still the number 2 Draw only behind AJ.....

Let’s not Forget this fight will be Joshua biggest pay day too more then Klits and Parker. So too short change the guy who’s bringing the most money too the party is ****ish.

You Wilder bytches only talk about the money, you don't want the fight! How much you getting paid by Deontay?

I say give AJ 49.5 million for being a @$$ lol hahaha.... Whatever get it done!! Nobody knows what AJ was going to get in comparison to what Wilder was offered. So there's no way of knowing if that 12.5 million flat fee was good or not. The only people that know the numbers are the ones negotiating. I'll wait for more details to come out before I get upset....... Again lol hahaha

Either way this is a good sign because it shows that they are actually in talks with one another it's just frustrating waiting for the deal to get finalized.

On the real, it sounds like AJ is overpricing himself....has he ever took home 50 million?

Has Wilder ever taken home 12.5 million??

I don't agree with Wilder getting a flat fee but a lot of you have been exposed today. You want to ensure Wilder makes a lot more than before but you don't consider that Joshua also wants to do the same.

The fight probably gets made with Wilder getting something around 30% at best.... I repeatedly said there was no way Hearn and AJ would give him 40% in the UK, that's basically charity/welfare. I make 10 times more and have 3/4 major belts but I'll give my opponent 40%?? ..... never happening.

Parker got less than 9.2 mil, Wilder is being offered 12.5.

Source?!?

Because I read £8 mill which is 11.4 mill US plus PPV is more.

9.2 is what Eddie gave out

The only roadblock so far is from Wilder side. Two offers is on the table so let’s make this fight happen.

so throwing a number at a champion with a belt n giving him 48 hours or no fight is okay to you? why don't they negotiate as they did with parker? why didn't they do this to parker? You don't find that fishy at least a little? Its easy to use this an an excuse to say wilder ducked but you just don't do champions like that. sit and work out a deal as you did with parker. Hell Vlad didn't even do that to AJ.

[thabanga510]

It doesn't matter if this is the most money Wilder has seen. If there is an opportunity to get more you are not going to let someone screw you over. Joshua an his team negotiated with everyone fairly and now with Wilder they want to try shady tactics. They are not confident in Joshua's camp and it is obvious.

[BigZ44]

Wilder is always all talk, but rarely action. They'll find a way to avoid making a deal. He'll fight Breazeale this summer while AJ deals with the Povetkin mandatory, then maybe something can be worked out for the end of the year or early 2019

You Wilder bytches only talk about the money, you don't want the fight! How much you getting paid by Deontay?

I’m want the fight made dip**** lowballing is not getting the fight made just like, if Wilder was pricing himself out....Wilder is going off his value as it relates too AJ which is Very High

Why is it that AJ fan boys don’t like Wilder???? Oh I know why he’s a THREAT of folding the house of card AJ... You guys loved nice safe Parker.... Do you ******* want a Parker Rematch I know you do what about Whyte that’s nice huh.....


Go too you happy place kiddies leave the convo too the adults....

[Ake-Dawg]

How does it sound like that? He clearly says that it does not do that much, and if they think it does, they should offer him that amount.

Isn't this the reason why split percentages are negotiated and used and not flat fees? Such that, if a fight exceeds or falls short of the projection, both sides are protected.

"If it is a $100 million fight and they are happy with taking 60-40, I'll take 50-50. Give me $50 million*dollars up front and I swear I'll take that fight tomorrow," Joshua told Sky Sports.

Personally, I'm not going to get up in arms about this statement. Seems like he's saying he'll agree to any split if he pockets $50M guaranteed.
