Originally posted by Biolink View PostIt 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.

Originally posted by sportbuddha View PostWhy 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.

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

Originally posted by chrisJS View Post$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.
-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.
