Comments Thread For: Nelson: If Wilder Turns Down Joshua Offer - It Doesn't Look Good

[Bronx2245]

Joshua just recently announced he will accept $50 mil flat fee from Wilder's camp.
Meaning, he admits it's not a one-way street.
Which also means he's willing to fight in the US.

That's what you interpret, but he didn't say "give me $50 million and i'll come to the U.S." Wilder, however has said "I am willing to come to the UK!" Wilder also was willing to fight Povetkin in Russia. Wilder was also willing to fight Ortiz, and Joshua swerved Ortiz for Pulev, even though the WBA had ordered Joshua vs. Ortiz!

Where is the the $100 Mil going to come from? It's definitely not coming from the casual fan in America because Wilder and Joshua are hardly known among casual fans in the U.S. In addition, boxing is no longer a mainstream sport in the U.S. Anymore. Unless your name is Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Then the fight won't sell globally.

Yet some of these AJ fans wanna speak like only Wilder fans think a flat fee is bogus.

There are AJ fans who said the flat fee was Canelo ducking that now say Wilder is ducking for not taking the flat fee. To me, a lot of AJ fans don't want the fight.

I think they want the fight, but they want to see Wilder humiliated before, during, and after the fight! Wilder should take the $12.5, no rematch clause, and add that he wants all the U.S. PPV money, and AJ keeps everything else!

fuggin hypocrites here

most of ya were bent out of shape when ggg was offered a flat fee

same thing with pacquiao



but its ok to flat fee wilder even tho parker got a percentage and we all know the aj wilder fight will make more money than the aj parker fight

STFU.When you combine Joshua and Wilder you have a US PPV Event.

No moron it doesn’t work like that. I know idiots like yourself only understand one language but not everyone is uneducated like yourself. Again Wilder and Joshua have sold zero PPV in America. So no it’s NOT PPV event for any network to take a risk on. If it is then Wilder would have been on PPV with one of his 40 fights.

Parker made better money before Joshua than Wilder has.
I'm not sure what Wilder's side brings except a belt and a win over Ortiz. Joshua isn't short of pretty good paydays whoever he fights.

Parker didnt even have a belt. Wilder's trying to unify the titles. And I would hope AJ wod want the same thing. Parker would not beat Ortiz.

This is what I will never I understand with fighters. If 2.5 million is the most you ever made in a fight, what’s wrong with 12.5 million? Be realistic. Do you want the fight or not? Take the 12.5 million, beat Joshua, and your the KING of the division. UNLESS, you don’t believe you can beat Joshua and you are trying to get the most you can now.

When it comes to champion vs champion the business doesn’t work that way. Look I hate when a fighther is all about money but I really don’t think that is what Wilder is about . Parker didn’t get a flat fee so fair is fair. AJ knows Wilder won’t accept a flat fee. Besides tell me another champion that took a flat fee to fight another champion ?

Parker didnt have a belt ?

If Wilder is TRYING to unify the belts why isnt he a UNIFIED champion yet ?


You know who doesn't have to try to unify ANY belts ? Thats right Joshua , because he IS a UNIFIED 4 belt champion and UNIFIED in his 19th fight .


You know what Wilder IS trying to do ? Become UNDISPUTED champion now that Joshua has done all the work .


How confident is he ? Not very and that will be revealed IF this fight falls through !

It's a trash offer. Wilder should absolutely turn it down.
