    People on here forget that promoters and broadcasters are involved. if it's a 50 million fight, Sky and Eddie take 20% each.
    .
    Than why not just offer a split instead of flat ?

    Why take a risk if it's really cutting it that close

      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.


      17 million canadian? unless you were using CA to reference canadian dollars in another post you 100% made that up. flat offer was for around 9 million pounds, which is around 12 million usd or so.

      so who is making stuff up? you sure you aren't trying to make excuses for a fight not happening? sounds an awful lot like it if you think this was a serious offer that hearn expected wilder's team to take.

        he probably doesn't understand that the biggest fight in boxing at the moment will have a reasonable split of purse revenue and that a flat fee is basically a way to keep the fight from happening.

          I heard it was 12.5m pounds?

          I'm not scared Everything about their fights tells me AJ smokes him or outboxes him. Either or.

            Because the A side wants the upside?

            How hard is it to understand that they want more money from this fight too?

                it is not. it's less than nine million pounds sterling and equals roughly 12.5 million in USD. you need to look into this further if you don't understand that eddie hearn's offer was not designed to be accepted! you didn't even know what the offer was, man.

                  that's not what he's asking. a fight of this magnitude calls for a split of the purse. joseph freaking parker got a purse split in the mid 30's! wilder was offered a flat fee. he's not asking for the bulk of the purse, he's asking for a split, which was not offered. they got a take it or leave it offer with a 48 hour window with basically nothing other than 12.5 million. no guarantee the fight would be next, no venue, no date, nothing. you understand why that's a problem for a managment team that needs to know when they are fighting and who, correct?

                  it was not designed to be accepted, it's not even acceptable! just take a step back for a minute and look at what's being said by each team and what hearn, the guy holding all of the leverage, actually offered. if they wanted to mmake this fight happen all they'd need to do was offer up a reasonable split to start negotiations, and then, you know, actually negotiate.


                  According to a report in The Telegraph, promoter Eddie Hearn and IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua have sent a "take it or leave it" flat fee offer of $12.5 million to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder for a unification. The contract was sent over with a deadline of 48 hours to accept the offer - or Joshua will likely make a mandatory defense against Alexander Povetkin of Russia.


                  here is an artile on it that you clearly didn't read. sorry, dude, that's just what it is. you didn't even have the number correct, and it's literally the only thing they offered! you're just talking, you do not know what you're talking about !

                    They're getting the upside/ lion share of the split they will make more money and you just said 12.5M is 40% of a realistic revenue

                    So why not eliminate the risk and offer a split just in case

                      12.5million usd is still more than Wilder will make for the rest of his career fighting anybody but AJ

                      AJ makes this fight, not Wilder. Those are just facts.
