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

[Jkp]

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.

AJ is constantly pulling his tape off and spitting his mouth gaurd, hes a much worse cheat.

An interesting deal, with unknown moving parts.

$50m guaranteed, but a 50/50 split of the fighter take on the fight, with the fight set for the end of the year.

If I had to guess, MGM Resorts are hosting the fight, the fight will be PPV in the US and on Sky Box Office in the UK.

Depending on the promoters coming together on a deal, both should have fights in the early summer with Joshua's next fight (the defense against Povetkin) happening at Barclays Center and Wilder's next fight (Breazeale or Dillian Whyte at this point) happening in Alabama. Both fights should happen close to each other and before August (put Wilder's fight on CBS, and use Joshua's US debut to gauge the Sky Box Office numbers).

With everything all the revenues considered, $70m-$75m is a reasonable guess at the take for the fighters; Joshua gets $50m, Wilder gets $20m-$25m, and the talk of the rematch gets going for Kentucky Derby weekend in May.

The IBF ordered Joshua-Povetkin on March 31, they had 30 days to negotiate. It's coming up to 30 days, Wilder needs to send a contract to sign NOW or Joshua will have to fight Povetkin. If that contract isn't sent within a day or 2 it was nothing but a PR move by WIlder

Hearn told them to give them 50mil
Hearn confirms offer recieved from Team Wilder of $50 million but says they are set to decline. BRITS, STFU

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 ******.

The ref in the Parker fight was Italian, not British. You know, the ref that team Parker wanted and was actually happy with?

Like referees in US are any better. Boxing is equally corrupted all around the world, probably even more in America to be honest.

Now. Hearn and Joshua not have excuses.....sign and the fight is on!!

[juggernaut666]

Wlad was inactive for over a year no damn excuses they both would been out ring for same amount of time

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 .

[Superbee]

Yeah .... Sign that contract that we'll send you on Friday... BTW, it has to be signed on Thursday... Otherwise you're doomed...

Jennifer still has a lot to learn about business as we can see...

BTW, what's with that 24 hours ultimatum ? Pitiful ...

[kafkod]

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

What they're saying is that AJ gets 50% of the income, with a guarantee that he will get no less than $50million, whatever the fight makes.

So if it makes $120 million, AJ gets $60million. If it only makes $40million, AJ still gets his $50million and Wilder gets nothing.

Excuses? Are you seriously ******ed? You are the one making excuses. Smh.

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
