Why do Wilder fans justify Wilder rejecting $12.5 million offer from AJ?

[juggernaut666]

simple, it takes 2 fighters to generate buzz. buzz generates money. percentage factor will make more money than 12.5 million. simply put even if wilder takes 30 percent this can easily be triple the 12.5 million.

Which exactly will prove Wilder is NOT confident he can win should no deal take place .


Im not sure ppl still dont get Joshua makes 20 Million or more now a fight .

He DOESNT need a FEW Million more to just let Wilder make his 12.5 from averaging 1.5 Million paydays .


Why should he keep giving up his percentages ?


If dummy Wilder wants to fight for less than 2 Million and hope he doesnt take an L , i say let him .


We'll all watch him fight Breazeale , Whyte , maybe even Martin . All the so called BUMS the Wilder fan club was claiming them to be . lol

All guys Joshua has defeated . lol

Because if Shelley Finkel or Al Haymon advised Wilder to take that offer and the earnings from the fight exceed Hearn's projections, Wilder won't see any of the upside and Finkel and Haymon will have their reputations as smart boxing businessmen in tatters.

They will not and never were likely to accept the offer. It's either an opening salvo from Hearn or a device to delay the fight until a more convenient time.

Well said...

Because $12.5m isn't a fair offer, and everyone knows it, tbh.

On it's face, Deontay Wilder is being offered £9m when Joshua-Klitschko (the last fight brought to the UK of similar scope to Joshua-Wilder) saw the two fighters splitting £30m on their fight.

Wilder gets 2 mill at best per fight. 6x that is more than fair considering that money is due to Joshuas drawing power.

Being realistic the split should be around 80-20/70-30 for Joshua.

[Larry the boss]

Any line of business if it's 6x the worth. If someone offers you 6x what your car worth you going to negotiate or take it? 6x your house worth, negotiate?

why would he take a flat fee and not even negotiate for some ppv money? thats insane

[Larry the boss]

aaaand hes reverted back to a businessman and not a fight fan as it fits his agenda

I didnt make this thread, I simply replied..if someone just threw a number at you are you going to just take it?

Why are some of you so bothered by objectivity??
I defended Golovkin in a similar situation. Pacquiao as well.
If you believe in a cheerleaders-only NSB, then put me on ignore.
Soul survivor would save himself many ulcers if he just followed that simple advice.

The fact you have to remind everyone in advance that you're definitely not a Wilder fan before you go on a Wilder nuthug rant kinda says you're anything but objective. You used to do it with Ward and Mayweather too

The truth is just not your friend, is it. I've said repeatedly that Ward was one of the few active boxers I was a fan of. And, no, I wasn't a Floyd fan. I've criticized him more than defended him. I've also criticized Wilder's hopelessly sloppy style over and over again.

For some reason, you fanboys are threatened by that. Honesty is some kind of poison to you guys.

Joshua already makes top notch boxIng star money, no matter who he fights.

Wilder can't make that money without Joshua.

Wilder has no negotiation pull here. If he doesn't fight Joshua for 12.5 he will be back to making 2 mill fight No someone else who may beat him. His win vs Ortiz was great, but let's not act like he wasn't flirting with a L there. He's not going to risk losing 12.5 to potentially lose a fight for 2 mill.
