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

[cameltoe]

Spot on, but let’s see what counter offer they come up with. Am tired of this saga already, just because of the crying from one side.

It is constant.

You’re right, let’s see what they come back with. Or, they go quiet for a bit and then announce the Breazeale fight, blaming it on Hearn for not offering enough.

Just asking. Who on Wilders team said that the fight is worth $100 mil? Was it Shelly, DiBella, or Haymon? And if you have a link post it. Thanks guys...

You guys are getting caught up listening to Wilder interviews while they are negotiating. None of you have answered why Wilder should take a flat fee when you didn’t want GG or Pac to. Not one of you Joshua fanatics have given a legit answer, not one of you.

Ragga-Don exactly! The fan-girls believe Wilder should get a flat fee because they don't like him anyway (awww poor fan-girls), and because, get this: The fan-girl POPULARITY towards Wilder isnt as big as The ROBOTs! At least Pac & GGG walked away with highly RESPECTABLE deals!

Now The Roboteers close-minded arguments have an issue with negotiations playing out on social media!? The ROBOTS camp need to EMBRACE the fact that this is the AGE we live in and that a fight of this magnitude CAN'T HELP but be PLAYED OUT on social media....this isnt Garcia -vs- Porter (as good as that fight may turn out to be), everyone knows they'll "work it out."

Fast Eddie, his remote control Robot and their fangirls are the ONLY ONES that believe NOTHING constructive in negotiations can be accomplished, simply because a few fans (especially the AJ fangirls) can read about it detail!??...sad but true... but if there was nothing to HIDE with BRAVERY to fight Wilder as the MOTIVATIONAL factor, then TRANSPARENCY would be the thing to EMBRACE!!!! Ragga theyre a close minded set!

I second that! Please post it!

What's with this "fixed fee" bull**** anyway?

Parker didn't get a fixed fee, he got a %, so why not just offer wilder the same as parker?

I totally agree but a lot of mf don’t understand that

[Iamsmoke89]

I wanna see it too

[Iamsmoke89]

I’m still not understanding y not give wilder a % like u did with Parker. That way either way if the fight make 100mil or not hell u got ur 40-60 but taking a flat fee and the fight generate well over that all u get is that flat fee

[KnickTillDeaTh]

That's the entire point KnickTillDeath, it doesn't add up.

Finkel and some Wilder fans have been calling Joshua's 12.5mil flat fee as 12.5% percent.

Joshua then called his bluff to Finkel claiming that it was 12.5% by saying that in which case if Wilder's team can guarantee him 50mil then he'll sign right now as it was Wilder's team that claimed that the pot for the 2 fighters will be 100mil.

Of course none of this changes that Hearn was a total slime ball for offering a flat fee in the first place... Hopefully the second round of negotiations they all get reasonable and work in percentages.

That's erroneous information. It was reported that experts are predicting the fight does anywhere from $50-$100 million, with industry insiders predicting the fight will generate more than $100 million. It was not Wilder's team that said that. The only time I've heard or seen a report where Finkel mentions 12.5% was in response to AJ's most recent $50 million comment. Either way, you and AJ got your facts wrong. And regardless of that, AJ's comments make no sense because no one has actually said the fighters purse will be $100 million, they said the fight could generate that amount. So his comments are still ******, and anyone who jumped on here in full support are even ******er.

I'll play fanager really quick and give my prediction. The fighters purse will be predicted to be $60 million minimum, AJ will get a minimum guarantee for $40 million, which works out to just over 66%, and Wilder will get a minimum guarantee of $20 million, which is just over 33%.

Not only that but you have the fight in the U.K and you're the A side too...!!!
