Floyd and Manny typically got 5-10X their opponents pay. When Floyd fought Ortiz and Guerrero who were both champions, they got about $2M each while Floyd was guaranteed $25 - 32M. I'd say Wilder's lack of popularity is on par with Ortiz and Guerrero at that time. Manny got $20M to Mosley and Marquez' $5M. Mosley and Marquez are/were far more popular at the time than Wilder is today.

This is the problem with boxing. Fans should remember they are the ones that put money into the sport. Promoters are only playing with money that comes from paying customers. Fans should be demanding the best fights get made at all costs, rather than taking sides of promoters and justifying things.

You guys have a weird way of thinking if you think like this , make it a 65-35 split . Wilder regardless of competion is the longest reigning champ with 7 defense and if he is so terrible and an easy out pay him get the final belt and move on never to hear from wilder again , or is that a bad idea ?

Hes argiung about the very thing hes complaining about and thats MONEY .
In reality the Wilder fan club is bracing for damage control and are going to use MONEY as the reason why the fight didnt happen and that EXCUSE will be a bad offer ftom Hearn which they will TRY and justify !
Lets just make the best fights though right ? :wank:

Because PPV? Well guess what, Wilder is not a PPV star.
Also, people saying they should offer him 30%. How exactly is that fair on Joshua.
He just added another world title to his collection and you want him to accept the same percentage or less!? Get real.
