Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager Shakes Head at Joshua's $50 Million Request

Can't wait for the counter-offer lol

Takem is a blown up cruiserweight that if Joshua was half as good as they say, should have legitimately knocked out and not needed a gift stoppage. As for Whyte, anybody would look good knocking out Mr Softee.

I think many outside of the U.S underestimate his ability to draw. Especially since the Ortiz fight. At the end of the day, in boxing, the right match up will outsell the individual every time. A lot more people will tune in to see the American vs the Brit or simply to see if Wilder can become undisputed.

I hope so and that was near my first thoughts but tell my why Wilder is not a household name .It's got to be location of fights and opponents because outside of his recent dodgy wanting a body on his record comment him seems like a personable guy. How do people over pond really think of him?

Smh

THIS IS WHAT BOXING HAS COME TO. THIS IS WHY THE SPORT FELL OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE. HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. TALK UNBECOMING OF A TRUE CHAMPION. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BEST WANTING TO FIGHT THE BEST AND PROVE THEY ARE THE BEST. TRUE BOXING FANS ARE THE ONES WHO SUFFER IN THE END. FAKE CHAMPS LIKE THIS GUY AND KEITH THURMAN HOLDING UP THE WHAT'S BEST FOR THE SPORT. #SportFan>ManFan #TrueChampsProveTheyAreTheBest #WhatHappened2Road2Undisputed

If Finkel is saying it's a 100 million fight since he is saying Wilder is getting 12.5% for a 12.5 mil offer, then Finkel and his team should promote it and give AJ 50 mil...

AJ and Hearn already know it won't be 100 mil purse. Maybe, and that's a big if on US PPV, it can hit 100 mil revenue, but 55% is taken away from TV companies anyway.

A blown up CW?!!! hahahahaha

This is the manager in 2015 who said Wilder isn't ready yet but he had 30 or so fights by then...

Winkel is old school and wants to gt a huge payday before Wilder loses

They really don't know him! They really don't know anyone besides Mayweather, McGregor, Pacquiao, and Canelo! Sad but true! Ward, Wilder, Crawford, Spence Jr., and Mikey Garcia SHOULD BE big stars in the U.S., but they're not! Broner is probably a bigger draw than Wilder!

Boxing fans appreciate him. The casuals barely know of him because he doesn't hang with many celebrities nor has he been on tv for much other than boxing.

"It's a minimum 60, probably closer to 100"

Give Joshua his 50 mil then, the worst Wilder can do is 10 mil up to 50 mil. They won't because they're full of shit.

How is offering 12.5 mil to a fighter that's never made more than 2 underpricing?

Is this a serious question?

Why did they pay more than 33% to a fighter who never even touched 1 mio.
