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

[Scipio2009]

Wilder's camp isn't going to guarantee $50m to Joshua, but, if this is legit, Joshua basically gave DiBella/Haymon/Finkell the greenlight to shop the fight in the US.

If Wilder's camp can guarantee Joshua $30m (just over £21m; Wilder's camp keeps Joshua's 80% from Sky Box Office, makes the deal with MGM Resorts, and gets Showtime to put up money for the PPV with Joshua getting some points) to finally cross the water, any talk of home advantage vanishes.

All the various Wilder channels have been saying 100 million may be conservative. Its part of their its a 12% offer argument.

Where's all the idiots that have been calling this a 100 mil fight?

That's fine it doesn't have to make 100 mil. If they guarantee Joshua 50 he'll take 50/50, that means anything from 50 up to 100 is all Wilders.

It's Wilder that's the one banking on this fight and wanting to cash out. Joshua makes plenty fighting anyone.

Thats where youre wrong! AJs & his GREEDY promoter is BANKING on this fight! They know Mr. Musculars STOCK goes DOWN after this, they will lose money generation POWER and thats not where they want to end up.

We don't WORSHIP our championss here, we acknowledge them as champs and show RESPECT, but we're not responsible for their GREEDY paths in life, they like common folk have to LEARN the ART of BUDGETING! Wilder who is ALREADY a MILLIONAIRE didnt ASK AJ to come along AFTERWARDS in the heavyweight division. He not responsible for AJs WORTH as a champion. Wilders PASSION for the sport starting at age 19 is what got him here - NOT being DEFINED by a GREEDY promoter and his ROBOT.....

Wilder was an obscure heavyweight, AJs not - so be it.....Wilders NO LONGER obscure because he's NOT AFRAID to fight the POPULAR ROBOT that HAPPENS to EXIST in the SAME chosen field of interest as his. Which is!? he HEAVYWEIGHT division! IF Wilder wants to get PAID in a PERFECTLY LEGAL PERCENTAGE WISE CONTRACT, he's WORTHY of it! THANKS in GREAT PART to Barry Hearn who seems to be genuinely humble and forthcoming in this WHOLE GREEDY matter.....again, Wilder has WORKED HARD for this shot, his opponent JUST HAPPENS to be rich and popular, "CASHING OUT" is WARRANTED and EQUALLY JUSTIFIED on BOTH sides ......AJ & crew is SET .... they should BUDGET that money and MAKE MORE, he did say he has TEN MORE years in the game!

Yeah he gave the greenlight for them to shop it but at 50 million not 21 .

So is Joshua accepting a 50 million flat fee???? Can’t these guys just agree too a 60/40 split and be done with it..... we know Wilders team ain’t got 50 M’s and this doesn’t do 100 mil in America.

Why will AJ agree 60/40 split when Wilder can't boast of generating $5M per fight. In reality the 12.5M is much for him

[Flash13]

Hearn was the one who projected $100 million

Most likely in total revenue which is a fair assessment imo. I highly doubt 100m in purses big difference.

Edit: Let me add a 100m revenue fight is like 40-45 mill in purses so 12.5 mill is about ~30% of revenue projections. Seems pretty fair to me.

On what planet does wilder deserve a 60/40 split? Wilder deserves 75/25 maybe 70/30. Joshua is an infinitely bigger draw than him and it’s not even close.

Wilder is delusional about his star power but that can't let AJ off the hook. This AJ dude doesn't want this fight at all, he gave a take it or leave it offer without % split. Did he do that with Parker? No, he gave Parker like 30% of the purse.

Wilder is not as popular as he thinks he is but surely he has to be as popular as Parker, worse case.

He doesn’t want the fight but he is the one making offers, he just made a new one. For those claiming it’s a 100million dollars fight, AJ is willing to take 50% of that not even 60-40 in his favour but 50-50. But yeah by your logic he doesn’t want the fight.

Maybe he should make social media videos and crying on it. About how he has been ducked with his 3 belts, offers that he has forwarded to team Wilder etc

No matter what AJ does someone like yourself would think negative, so no point having a civil discussion with someone like yourself.

LMAO so he is admitting he doesnt want the fight pretty much like that would change if he was paid 50 million. Biggest coward in boxing.

How's That? This fight supposedly is gonna make 100 million. He's just asking for half lol.
