Seems risky but over here he may just need to not get KO'd and he'll get the "W" for all the talk of getting robbed overseas there is a lot and I mean a LOT more home cooking in America.
I just don't see this being a success on PPV unfortunately. I think Joshua fans will travel so the gate will do well wherever it is maybe as much as $20m but probably around $10-15m but PPV I don't enough to pay Joshua $50m and leave any money left over for Hearn, Wilder and his 3 managers/advisers etc; I hope I'm wrong and I am underselling how it does commercially and if that's the case the fight will be done quickly.
I think a $50m GUARANTEE in Joshua's pocket and Wilder may be working for free that night. Hopkins-Jones II style.
I agree It's a terrible offer for Wilder and his team to make from a business perspective because he is taking all the risk and all the financial loss.
However, Wilder and his team sense that getting AJ next gives them the best chance to beat him (i agree) so they are willing to lose up front and win down the road.
The dead line stipulation offered by Finkel is the only REAL thing stated and thats not even real bc Hearn has NOTHING today to agree on with no contract ?
..............................
Its great way to rile up idiots like here and to build a 2019 fight but get real and use common sense .
NO deal can be made with vague promises without at least a meeting , which is tomorrow ..........
What about that deadline that ended today bc team Wilder pushed it back TOMORROW doe ?

Even if it does well Hearn isn't getting any money from Wilder for the fight. Team Wilder will be running the show and lead promoter. Hearn would take his percent from AJ's purse.
