Deontay Wilders attendance in fights

[Cheek busting]

Agree. Just as silly as iit was for Floyd to offer a flat fee to Pac.

Not even close to a proper comparison, doe..

Pac was consistently selling around the 1 million mark; Floyd was averaging a little bit more on average PPV sales.

BOTH were BONAFIDE STARS on their own.. Anything other than 60/40 split would make no sense.

Wilder, on the other hand, HAS NEVER BEEN ON PPV.. He has NEVER topped a 5 million dollar purse (and the one time he was going to get the 5 million, it was because of POVETKIN STAR POWER IN RUSSIA! and the winning bid made by Povetkin promoter).

Joshua, now, is a PPV STAR in UK. He sells out freaking what? 80,000 seat capacity stadiums!?!? Jesus...

Anything other than a flat-fee for Wilder, OR something along the lines of 80/20 just makes no sense from Joshua's stance.

Why should Joshua sacrifice his star power for a guy who isn't a star? He's the one with 3 belts to Wilder's 1.. I mean, everything is in Joshua's court.

If Wilder wants the fight, he's gonna have to KNOW HIS ROLE, and take what he is worth.

It's a comparative thing Larry. Those crowds are good until they're compared to gates of 70-90k. No disrespect to Wilder but you are comparing apples to oranges. Joshua is in a different league these days.

thats because england isn't a country thats that big.... and of course you would have a country behind their countrymen when it comes to fighting

The Parker deal wasn't done overnight. It took 2 or 3 months. This will likely be the same.

my point exactly, why give wilder 48 hours???

Not sure I fully agree with you. It's always been the same size and we've had succesful fighters before but we've not seen a boxer capture support to this extent. That's a combination of AJ's deeds and Hearns promotion. The main driver has been their aggresive pursuit of competitive fights rather than the old school approach of mixing cans alongside the meaningful fights.

Maybe they need to quickly establish how serious Wilder's team are because they have a mandatory order from the WBA to consider?

They didn't. Hearn said that was false.

You may say "Hearn says a lot of things", sure he does, but has he came out and said the deal is off? No. The 48 hours thing was B.S and has already expired.

They didn't. Hearn said that was false.

oh okay will cool but many posters were defending that yesterday. that's my only point, but if it was false then ill chill n let them negotiate.

so the english dont get behind their fighters?

of course they do kell brook attendance was over 20k in uk vs errol spence but what happened to his attendance in the porter fight in the usa.... 7k

again england supports their fighters, more so than americans do

Guys after Joshua’s disappointing performance against Parker Joshua’s fans have to make a come back somehow. Damage control at its finest.

Plan. Lowerball Wilder, talk bad about Wilder, and all is well.

It happened after Takam, and Parker. It’ll happen again. Boxing always comes full circle. That’s why he’s a ***** in my book. And Hearn is the leading scumbag in boxing.

Like I said, I’ll be through with Joshua if he doesn’t fight Wilder next. I have never washed my hands with any fighter before ever. This will be my first time. You go from Miller to Headvetkin or Wilder. I smell a true *****!
