Should AJ also demand 15 x his best payday?

[Madison Boxing]

Firstly I don’t think they want to see the fight like they claimed.
Secondly what has someone else money got to do with you?
Finally he hasn’t done much to what Parker did with longer years and more fights as a pro.

So this fight should be a easy one to sign.

yeah, agreed.

[Butt stuff]

i think the gate makes more than joshua vs wlad. they priced that fight conservatively while second hand resellers made a killing on up charge. hearn isnt gonna miss out that chance on this fight. i also think SHO will test ppv for this fight considering theyve invested a good portion into these two over the last few years. they dont need mayweather ppv numbers, just solid numbers around 300-400k to make money.

Hearn has something going on with the resellers, there’s lots on Twitter about it. The tickets sell out waaaaayyyy too fast and then are instantly available in bulk for exorbitant prices, bit fishy.

[Cheek busting]

they got back end money though after their registered purse. hearns offer gives wilder 0% of that. i think if hearn offered the 12.5 with incentives to a % of the live gate and ppv package, it would be a good offer. like im sure parker got the bulk of the new zealand tv money and those regions while also getting a % of sky box office.

Wilder can keep the 2 million Showtime will pay to televised the fight in US.

Lol..

[Cheek busting]

Why is it that Wilder and his ******ed fans think it's fine for Wilder to ask for 10x+ his best ever payday whereas AJ should settle for 40-50%+ his?

Can somebody explain this to me?

Calculations:

Gate: USD10-12m
PPV (UK only) 1.5million x £19.95 (30 USD ish) = 45million
US TV: USD 10million

International TV: USD2million

total = 69million

Sky take 20%
Eddie takes 20%

44million left.
They offered Wilder ca 17m so roughly 40% of the fighters purse.

What's the issue here?

Go at it gentleman.

Where did you get the 10 million for US money?

I've never heard of HBO or Showtime paying more than 2-3 million for the license to show a fight in USA??

other details like if the fight is even next, or a date . just sign this almost entirely blank piece of paper with 12.5 scribbled on it somehwere

you're f#cking ridiculous and almost surely have never spoken to a manager of a pro boxer in your life. how on earth are you to say that this is how multi million dollar negotiations take place ?

Money is always the first thing needed to be sorted out .

It doesn't matter if the fight is next or not .

Joshua vs Klitcho is an example bc Joshua fought Molina before that when that fight was already signed to take place .

[VERSION1 (V1)]

40% is what Pacquiao made against Mayweather. Did Canelo get 40% against Mayweather? Did Cotto? Did Bradley get 40% against Pacquiao? Did JMM?

Wilder is so far away from Joshua in drawing power 40% is way too much.

non of them got a flat fee they all made something of the gate and ppv

[LacedUp]

lol at this scared rhetoric. you're literally scared and don't want this fight to happen.

Haha yeah I'm so scared

I want this fight to happen. You just don't recognize that i'm exposing this wilder fanboy bs that went on.

Before they didn't care about the split, "anytime anyplace anywhere. One name. one champ. one face" and all that cringy bs.

He gets offered 17million for a fight and now it's not enough

Couldn't make that up.

I handsomely overestimated it just for the sake of it.

You are either being purposefully obtuse or you are being nefarious. You know the argument isn't about the purse. It's about THE SPLIT. If the fight made 50 million dollars (that's the most conservative of estimates) then Wilder would garner 24% OF THE PURSE. Do you think that makes sense for a world champion that's bringing American PPV to the fight? Even Parker got 33.5%. Stop playing with me Lacedup, I'll slap down each and every benign argument you throw out.

But if the fight makes 50million which is probably a reasonable number, the offer made is 40%.

People on here forget that promoters and broadcasters are involved. if it's a 50 million fight, Sky and Eddie take 20% each.

Nevertheless, answer my question - Why is it fair that Wilder demands 10x his biggest payday, yet AJ has to settle for a similar level payday to his best.

Why is that fair? AJ is the one who's making this fight what it is, not Wilder - Those are just facts.
