Originally posted by hitking View PostIf he made $28M against Parker, a 60/40 split against Wilder sounds about right. Because he’ll make between $24M-$30M according to Hearns projections. And a Wilder fight is bigger than a Parker fight. Not to mention his projections are probably low. Especially if they chose to move the start time to accommodate American PPV.
I think most Americans really don't understand this is unlikely to be the biggest fight for Joshua. The revenue from the Klitschko fight will probably be more. There could be some PPV sales in the US but Wilder isn't a huge draw so how much will it sell? He hasn't even done PPV himself and I believe only had circa one mil watch him as it is against Ortiz?
Compare that to what Klitschko brought? Fans across Europe, numerous tvs paying, extra marketing , over 10 million in Germany alone watched the fight - let alone Klitschko's own country.
Until Wilder (or Joshua) builds he fight more in America I don't see how it can be bigger than Joshua vs klitschko money wise.

Originally posted by Ray* View PostIf that is true then no way would he fight Wilder for the same sort of money. He has three belts now, he could make that sort of money fighting other HW champs over here. Going by logics around here he should be expected to make 5 times that against Wilder.

Originally posted by hitking View PostOn one hand you say, “why shouldn’t AJ make more for his biggest fight.” Then you turn round and say “Wilder isn’t the biggest fight for AJ.” Which one is it?

Originally posted by Kezzer View PostIt's biggest in terms of reward, unifying all 5 belts. In terms of money? I don't think it will be (at least not if fight happens now). In terms of build up etc, in he U.K. At least I don't think it would top the klitschko fight (again, maybe if built up more it could do)

Originally posted by hitking View PostAgain, AJ and several of his fans have said Parker was a tougher fight than Wilder. So why does he need more money to fight Wilder than he got to fight Parker?
