Comments Thread For: Hearn: We Won't Let You Play With Our Balls To Overpay Wilder!

Doesn't that logic also apply to Joshua? Shouldn't he take his usual purse plus roughly 20% for the chance to create history and become undisputed. Or are you saying that the 20% increase in purse is simply not worth the risk of losing to Wilder?

.

Correct. Why only take 20% extra (which likely would be a 50/50 split for info)?

Reality is even if wilder took $12.5 mil it’s hard to believe Joshua would even double his normal fight purse.

However you look at it $12.5 mil is giving wilder 5-6x his pay which is worth the risk for wilders perspective, Joshua needs a far smaller % gain to take the same fight.

Why are Wilder’s TV ratings better than AJ’s?

on a non-ppv platform in his own US market? against a fighter whos fights are shown in the afternoon and is from the UK?

weigh up wilders non ppv showtime numbers for his fights, they dont compete with AJ's UK ONLY PPV sales...and our viewing market is a fifth of the size lol.

With that same logic then Joshua would be paid like 80m dollars. He has being the one taking risks after risk. He has done what Wilder should have done in 10 years. Wilder should be Joshua right now, not the other way round.

If you love boxing then you should want to see Wilder take this risk and knock out Joshua, guess what? When British fans were arguing for Mayweather to come over here and fight Mayweather I argue against it. Because Mayweather was the bigger name, Mayweather had Vegas support behind him, Mayweather was on PPV.

But in this case no Joshua has done a lot of work in a short space with lesser fight, if Wilder is going to accuse him of ducking then he should take that guarantee offer..... it’s a risk worth taking, it would pay more dividends to Wilder’s career than Joshua’s career.

If Mayweather offered Pacquiao 6x his highest payday do you think he'd turn it down?

Pacquiao wasn't even offered twice.

Wilder is a 2 mil fighter being offered 12 mil.

Wilder need Joshua to get in to the big leagues. Joshua doesn't need Wilder.

These are the facts ******.

So since Wilder supposedly brings nothing to the table, why not let his side take the gamble? Hearn could very easily guarantee AJ $15M-$20M, or whatever outta his own pocket. Give Wilder his 40%. Get $15M-$20M back outta AJ’s 60%. And AJ pocket whatever is left over.

WTF are you on about? I don't think you know how splits work.

[Travycat]

Eddie always gives an amusing interview. Gotta give him that. Didn't Klitschko and Joshua each get 15 million? Klitschko could sell out stadiums in Germany or the UK. Joshua, as well. Wilder for being a fun-to-watch fighter, doesn't have that star power yet. That 12.5 offer will only go lower. Take the 12.5, hope you get the win, then you get the bigger slice in America for the rematch.

[johnnycontrolet]

Wilder brings nothing to the table except the green belt. He is totally unknown in the US and his TV ratings are ridiculous.
