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

[Sid-Knee]

what a joke Team Joshua is protecting their glass-jawed fraud . ran out of 42 year old guys coming off of losses didn't they?

Huh? Joshua has told Wilder lets go.

Where is he being protected? Or are you just doing the American thing and puffing up your chest and chatting ****?

Haha.

If this deal is for real, we're going to see who the man is real quick. And it won't be Wilder.

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?

Lmao ok promoter of the year. Why you always talking like your word is law? I’m sure Lou DiBella and Haymon have way more experience than some blogger named Chris. Only a ******ed person would say “Wilder's $50m offer leaves him fighting for free essentially“

Why tf would they submit an offer that would leave Wilder with no money you ******?

The best in the world. No promoter in the world comes close to Hearn. He actually gets you excited for fights and has a good presence. Other's, not so much.

You're not wrong. He can have Brits thinking whatever club level fighter they're hyping to the moon this week is the real deal. When Eddie Hearn pisses on an englishman's leg, they come on nsb and talk about how great a promoter Hearn is.

From fat Dan:
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 more than 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. Hearn confirmed to ESPN he has received the offer.
Sidenote: all you fgts saying breazeale is next can stop with that bull**** now also

Wait! Are they offering 50m straight up or against what the fight would make? Because that is two different offers.

Look at the fine print, people. Wilder gets to choose where the fight is.

As usual, every Wilder callout comes with an asterisk. Aren't you all used to it by now?

If his team is putting that kind of money up he should choose the venue. Hearn was trying to big boy Wilder by talking about how much more they made in the UK. Haymon came back and showed Hearn who the real boss is.

He does get excited for fights, not many promoters like that.

Joshua team makes no less than 50mil and if fight generates more than what they projections are he earns 50% of total pot, Hearn was saying fight only worth 40mil

What's wrong with that... Wilder is the one making the 50 million offer. When it was AJ and Hearn, they wanted the fight in the UK. And I'm ok with the no rematch clause. Either fighter who wins could go on and fight someone else or if it's a good close fight, negotiate another fight.

WOW, didn't realize Wilder could find that kind of backing. Good for him!

As for Hearn, they need to accept or it's a blatant duck. This is a good offer for both of them. Only thing they're giving up is Wilder gets to pick his battleground.

50m is enough..... that fight doesn’t generate more ham that IMHO.
