Well, Wilder is an idiot for claiming it would make $100 million. It won't. If anything it will make less the more we see AJ doing his robot'klitschko style of no action.
Wilder isn't giving AJ $50 million, because the whole purse for both would be lucky to be that. I see the U.K. starting to lose interest in AJ, and Wilder is an American. I believe the Wlad fight got roughly $50 million altogether, AJ and Wlad's paydays combined. I would expect AJ-Wilder to do about the same. Which if it makes $50 million, $12.5 mill is a 75-25 split and $50 mill for AJ would be a 100-0 split.
Wilder was speaking in hyperbole. He was exaggerating. He knows the fight isn't making $100 million for the fighters to split. That is the truth. So many idiots out there. Oh, Wilder doesn't want the fight he won't give him $50 mill and he won't accept $12.5 mill. Yes, because he is the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, coming off a FOTY candidate against a top hw with skill and real ko power. He deserves to be treated like a professional boxer. Professional boxers go with a purse split for basically every fight. Pros don't fight for set fees in ppv fights. They usually get a minimum amount and then if it makes so much a certain percentage from the ppv revenue.
If the fight is going to make $100 million, then why can't AJ give Wilder more than 12.5% of the purse? Oh, that's right, because that was Wilder speaking in hyperbole. All the idiots claiming oh, it will make 60-100 mill, so why is Wilder ducking? The real question would be, if the fights makes that much, why will AJ only offer 12.5% to Wilder? That would be ducking.
Give Wilder a percentage. I say 60/40 AJ. If its in the states, I could easily see 65/35 AJ. Cut out this set amount for a ppv bs. AJ was willing to negotiate with Parker who demanded 40% for quite a long time. But with Wilder, nope, here you can get this set amount or no fight. We are not negotiating.
The entire world knows AJ is ducking Wilder. It is literally a textbook definition of ducking. I didn't hear everyone calling for AJ to not fight Parker, because Parker was ducking, by wanting 40%. After weeks of negotations and Parker still demanding 40%, still no one crying how Parker doesn't want the fight and is ducking. But AJ makes one non-serious offer (a serious offer for this fight would be based on a percentage), and his fanboys come out in force, saying this proves Wilder is ducking AJ. No, it proves, Wilder isn't going to accept what would amount to a 25 percent cut or a 0 percent cut of the pie. If AJ is not scared, Hearn would enter NEGOTATIONS with Wilder's team. Like he has for every other opponent AJ has ever fought.
