Dammmmmmm Joshua can’t back out now, first bomb Deontays thrown his whole career

He hasn't gotten **** yet. Wilder needs to provide proof he has the guarantee and an actual contract to sign.

Fraud squad lying smh

It obviously has to be Showtime stepping in. They paid more than that for 2 Mayweather fights a year and have no PPV's planned that I can think of this year. If their number crunchers think this is a big money maker, its not out of the question that they themselves got involved to gain rights over the mega fight.

Let's hope so. I think this fight will fail on PPV here like maybe 300k buys.

Why no rematch, if this is a $100m fight, why wouldn't you do it twice? The only logic would be that they hope to rig the win somehow or they believe it's a massive mismatch in Wilders favour that wouldn't draw a second audience.

Anyway, Hearn is too savvy to accept without a rematch clause, its just a bad business deal without it.

I think AJ would accept it though, he's got the right attitude to cope with the pressure and the way Wilders career has been managed it would be ironic that he ends up with one of his worst pay days for his biggest fight and ends up losing the title.

Already on that and the fight hasn't even developed yet. Wow!

Why would he need excuses? That's a great offer. The only possible problem could be the date. AJ has a mando with Povetkin ordered, remember.

unifications trump mandos so cut the bullshiiit

If it's a genuine offer and prove they have the guarantee Joshua/Hearn can't turn it down.

Actually they can, they can put forward a case to the sanctioner that a no rematch term is commonplace in many similar contests. Like others have said, its not a contract, the location and other factors are all important in this

Like I say, I think AJ will accept it anyway, he'll be laughing his ass off

$50m is probably 100% of the revenue. If it's real he'll take it in a heartbeat.

Wilder would be better off taking the flat fee offer. By the sounds of it both sides are offering more than what the other would make under both cases.

Wilder's $50m offer leaves him fighting for free essentially. Hearn's $12.5m offer leaves Joshua making probably $16-17m.

-The Klitschko fight apparently did over 1.5m homes in the UK. Mayweather-McGregor likely did over 1m homes in the UK at 2am. How well do you figure an undisputed heavyweight championship fight featuring arguably Britain's biggest sporting star will do at 2am?

-Alvarez vs Golovkin did over $25m at the live gate for T-Mobile Arena, and this is a bigger fight than that was (nevermind the closed circuit access for fans not in the arena).

-1million homes on SHOPPV basically gets you $35m.

Well there's no other terms, just the cash, so ask yourself, why no rematch? Your boxer stands to lose their only title, for his managers it's a massive risk. At least with a rematch clause, if the numbers don't add up you've got another bite at the cherry. They haven't mentioned any other terms, just no rematch, why?
