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

[Holler]

Why should it be? Unless AJ is scared to lose. Why do we need a rematch? The no rematch adds more pressure but makes it more fun. It is like the NCAA football game or the SuperBowl - winner takes all. Loser works his way back up - not getting an immediate rematch. Now, if the fans ask for it, why not?

It would certainly raise the stakes and it would also make the fight more marketable.

Would that make up for the loss of revenue from a second fight? Maybe, if it captured the public's imagination sufficiently.

WTF?

Wilder's team is guaranteeing them 50mil. You want them to lead promote, guarantee 50 mil, AND let Hearn choose the site? Maybe i am reading your post wrong, but if not, you are out of line.

I'm just wondering where the $50m comes from and how guaranteed it is. You've got to bare in mind Joshua has never made more than $20m and Wilder never more than $2m so $50m from their pocket sounds su****ious.

The details aren't really there and Hearn said as much. I mean you can say $50m but if your Hearn do you just say ok cool I'll accept here's my signature without even seeing a contract and how guaranteed the funds are?

Maybe this is part of AJ's training, RUNNING

Quiet you b!+ch!

Grown folks are talking, no delusional AJ fan girls allowed!

AJ fans have made threads that Wilder is scared and would never have enough money from himself or his backers to put up the money!

Checkmate had been served, swallow AJ and Hearn balls while your at it!

You can tell Edwards is nervous, he's making up more lies saying that there's no offer like he didn't get them emails!

What's the next excuse Edwards will come up with next and you AJ fan girls will say?

Wilder didn't like their offer so front the money, Wilder just did it!

You AJ fan girls are more delusional than Pac fans and GGG fans unbelievable!

That UK dust is doing numbers on y'all!

The only b*tch here is you.

You said Hearn needed to sign the contract when there is no contract as of yet.

It has come as a shock that Wilder's side are able to put up the money as they claim. But lets wait a few days to see if it's all legit. If it is, then the fights a go.

Hearn has already claimed he got the offer. So you're making a fool out of yourself claiming otherwise.

How is Hearn nervous? Have you seen him to make such a claim, or are you talking rubbish as per usual?

Where are these AJ fans that are supposedly in a panic since the news broke? Show them to me?

Actually, he still does have to work to help Sky Sports maximize the Box Office numbers in the UK (and bringing some of that event sponsorship money to Las Vegas with Joshua can't hurt either).

ALL depends whats Hearns on ....AJ is so big he could at this time go it alone but then we've seen this go pear shaped more than not.

Get this scrap on.....!....If A.J. is the real deal then things might change!

If it's a close fight the fans want then cool ..but!

No but Manny was offered 40 mill from Floyd to fight and he turned it down which was smart on his part.

Not really. Pacquiao lost four years, got left for dead by Juan Marquez, and only got to $100m because the fight turned into a four times larger event, and ended up being a fight that Pacquiao got embarrassed in.

Pacquiao takes the $40m (unless I'm mistaken, the biggest fighter take before the offer was the $75m that Floyd and Oscar split, so Manny was basically being offered 50%), and he walks into the fight with four more years of fight in his legs to challenge Floyd with. Pacquiao accounts for himself well, and he likely sees a bump in his fight purse going forward.

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.

If the money is truly there and sitting in escrow, AJ should take it. Of course, we don't know if the money is there.

How can you call the 2nd fight a loss of revenue when a 2nd fight is not yet scheduled? What if the 1st fight is a destruction? would the public be interested in a 2nd fight? Let's see the 1st fight FIRST.
