Comments Thread For: Team Wilder Send '$50 Million' Offer To Joshua For Unification

[Butch.McRae]

Anybody doubting the popularity of this fight is crazy. Last fight I seen get this many comments this fast was Mayweather v. Manny.

Guess I am going to Vegas later this year.

Wlad was training for Fury the entire time .

The ORIGINAL Joshua vs Klitchko fight was for Nov. 2016 .

Two guys arent going to stay that long of inactivity on purpose and think they will be at their best . Their going to fit a fight in somewhere if it takes place in December .

Thanks, at least one person is talking some sense here.

The latest it will take place is December earliest is September..... I don’t get what the issue is no excuses both fought in March both will be out ring same amount of time this fights needs to both guys next fight period pedvetkin can ruin all these plans if he land on Joshua chin clean

[Boksfan]

Fool you are the one keep talking about them taking a fight before facing eachother or else being out ring for 8 months.....lol are you not remembering what you writing

You fcking imbecile, stick to golf, boxing is just not for you

Well, I just schooled you in the other thread with facts and then you tossed in the towel. Maybe discussions like that give me belief in myself.

The fight isn't a $100m fight.

The gate is a max of $10m and PPV is a max of $30-40m based on facts and other gates, PPV's as a reference. Where's all the other money coming from and do you think the venue, promoters, etc; aren't taking a cut?

you just dont stop

[thack]

you just dont stop

Lol...he should just say no.

[tokon]

Crazy if true, but no-one in their right mind would turn it down. Has anyone in the history of boxing been offered a $50m guarantee?

There's gotta be some kind of condition to that "guaranteed $50million"!

Who's putting the guarantee up?!

If this is real, I cannot envisage Joshua not taking that deal.

[kafkod]

I just heard Hearn live in NY .....you are so wrong.

He said 'lets see the contract' see if the offer is real....stop being ******.

Lol, that's like telling a fish to stop breathing water!

[uppercut510]

With the judges, referee, home country and rematch all in wilders pocket he is virtually buying the win for himself before anyone throws a punch. LOL even the american doctor conspired to give bumsquad 30 extra seconds recovery time after ortiz had him at deaths door. Thats how hard it is for a foreigner to get a win in america aginst wilder.

lmao oh boy you people are next level with it

It doesn't matter as the contract says end of the year .

Which means Wilder will fight Breazeale and Joshua Povetkin .

Both have to win to make the fight happen should they come to an agreement .

That's not what is being reported:
"He [Shelly Finkel] also said there would be no rematch clause and that the fight would have to be next for each man.

"It has to be the next fight for each of them," he said. "No rematch clause and it's for all the belts. We asked for them to send us an acceptance (by the end of Thursday). Joshua (previously) asked for $50 million against 50 percent and we gave it to them. They probably don't believe it's this big of an offer but it's an unbelievable offer. I hope they accept. Deontay is thrilled and believes Joshua will take it.

While he [Hearn] is here [New York] , Finkel and Haymon are scheduled to meet on Friday to discuss a Joshua-Wilder deal.

"They said we have to accept the fight by (Thursday), which is ridiculous when we have questions that need to be answered," Hearn said. "But we have a meeting on Friday and we will go through the offer. I'd like to see a contract and see where the money is coming from and the location of the fight is important. We don't have a problem doing it in America even though we'd like to do it in the U.K."
