Joshua and Hearn does. Wilder might not actually have the guarantee. This could be a Manny Pacquiao and the rich Arabs situation, bull****.

[thack]

No. He sent an email to let Joshua and the world know that the offer sent from his team is there. He said to check Hearn and McCracken personally. Yet somehow were suppose to believe wilder sent this as a bs email and didn't have everything else in order. Now the most powerful broker in boxing who's put together the biggest fights in boxing history suddenly can't come up with 50m to guarantee the fight. Get outta here with the fan boy bs. You really look silly today.

lol....What an idiot you are .Show me the money!.......Wilder has only seen very small purses ...never $50 million and it's come from him first .If the deal stands up then there's a fight if it doesn't...mate ..then there's not.
If it looks too good to be true then normally it is,too good to be true .........Lets wait and see.

I'll bet you've been taken to the cleaners so often you poor kid.You really look silly today.

Heavyweight world titleholder Deontay Wilder and his team made a counter offer via email to unified titlist Anthony Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, on Wednesday for a much-anticipated undisputed championship fight, Shelly Finkel, one of Wilder’s managers, told ESPN. Finkel said they offered Joshua and Hearn $50 million against 50 percent of revenue the event would generate, meaning Joshua’s side would make no less than $50 million and could earn much more if the fight generates the $100 million Finkel said Team Wilder believes it can. Finkel said the offer contains no rematch clause and that it stipulates that the fight be next for each man and take place between September and December at a site of Wilder's choosing. The offer was a counter to the $12.5 million flat fee Hearn offered Wilder earlier this month.

Please who is the A side in this bout? Wilder?

[Oshio]

AJ will accept this offer. It is a great offer only that there are other aspects of the negotiations to be sorted out

Considering it's what gets the fight made, everyone should.

If the money is not real, then there is no fight.

It makes no sense anyone would pay 50 million to Joshua to fight in America. Neither Joshua nor Wilder barely have any American fans.

I think if you use a little common sense, its obvious the money is not real.

[EnglishOxide]

Wait a second. If this fight makes more than $100m, so $150m for example it becomes a 50/50 split with no rematch clause?

So $75m for AJ and $75m for Wilder?

How is that fair when AJ is the unified champ, is fighting away from home and is the main draw?!

It’s funny reading these AJ fans on here today

Just repeating Hearns talking points about where’s the $ coming from

Wilder has a team of Finkell & Haymon , 2 guys responsible for consistently putting on the biggest financial fights in the sport the last 30 years. I’m pretty sure they can back up the offer. Their track record speaks for itself Neither are known Bullsh.itters

I’m pretty sure it’s legit it’s not the same as a couple mysterious unknown Arabs putting up $ for a Khan / PAC fight

Why are AJ protectors so scared, all they’ve said for months is Wilder a untalented hype train that isn’t even any good

this should be easy work

[b00g13man]

Because the offer is so unbelievable it cannot be believed until they see one? Because there's literally days left until the Povetkin negotiations deadline and a purse bid for a mandatory is ordered?

If it were so unbelievable, wouldn't you then be enquiring about specifics of the offer rather than a contract, as per your quoted post?
