    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 !
    Eddie Hearn said on Twitter just now than Parker got less than half what they offered Wilder.

    Is it doing double the numbers? Doubt it.

      So why not eliminate the risk and offer a split just in case
      ... I just answered that.

      They're the A side, they don't want to give a split

        They were the A side v parker too and they gave him a split so obviously they made unacceptable offer because they don't want the fight



        Other promoters are calling it like it is

          Maybe they did, but he ended up making around half what Wilder was offered.

          Haha fat schaefer. that guy lost his marbles completely, talking about 100m dollars.

          Then give AJ 50million

            "Of course it depends on the pay-per-view buys, but I would hope that a fight between Joshua and Wilder generates over £100m"

            Guess who said that?

What s he done that's so much better?
                Funny that’s not the tune you were singing when Canelo offered ggg a flat fee.

                Never mind. It just came to me. Wilder is black and ggg is white and in your racist opinion that’s justification.

                    Exactly. When it was GGG, he talked about the concept of the flat fee offer being unfair. Now that its Wilder, he talks about the money being offered and does a complete 180 on how he feels about flat fee offers.

                    All you can hope is that the reason for him flipping is because he loves GGG and is a Brit so he doesn't want to criticize AJ even though he's on record as saying flat fee offers mean you don't want to fight.

                    Sadly, if you read his posts, I think your reasoning is more likely.

                      The offer was not "take it or leave it", and there was no 48 hour deadline. AJ confirmed that on an IFL interview on the 12th, and Shelly Finkel also confirmed this yesterday. I can provide both links if required but I'm sure you can find them yourself.

                      A lot of BS being spoken, lots of miscommunication. The only people who are showing any assemblance of a cool head are Joshua and Hearn.
