Comments Thread For: Joshua: "95%" Certain That Wilder Fight Will Happen in 2018

[Joime]

Juicin J and Windmill Wilder are both divas in this situation to be honest.

So bored of this saga. The fight will probably be a massive anti climax after all this nonsense in the build-up.

"You can't talk about finances anymore because I'm well aware there is financial gain in this fight. So, let's put that aside and look at the devil in the detail."

Where are the a*sholes who were going on about the $50 million not being "real"? Lol

****ing idiots.

It's never cool being a blind fanboy.

I'm not sure what he's said here that changes anything? There's been a consistent line from Hearn's side that the fight makes slightly more in the US and that in either location it should be the biggest HW fight in a generation.

You guys are a pretty thick bunch. The fight doesnf make "slightly" more. It makes $20 - $30 million more.

But that wasn't the point of my original post. Just looking for all those Joshua business managers that were posting here about "fake offers" lol That level of ******ity/fanboyism should be shamed here.

Er, ok, thank you for that...

I haven't seen the cost projection that establishes the fight makes $20 - $30 million more in the US. Do you have a link?

The Joshua purse guarantee is equal to or larger than the total revenue projections for the fight that Hearn made.

The team Wilder offer was based off the profection that the fight would make around 100 million or more.

If you look at the numbers Rafael posted for the live gate ($20 million; it actually would be closer to $30 million), TV rights ($10 million), and sponsorship ($5 million), it's clear to see that the money is going to be made easily here in the US.

Remember,

The UK PPV for a Joshua fight would fall between 1.2 - 1.5 million buys (Or $32 million - $40 million; so $16 - $20 million to the purses)

And the US PPV would fall between 500k - 1.2million (or $40 million - $96 million; so $20 - 48 million to the purses)

The money is there. It's plain to see for anybody who follows the sport as confirmed by Rafael here. If you take the low end of all those numbers, it leaves you with a pot of $71 million for the fighters.

The Hearn offer I think forecast a total pot for the fighters of $40m, with the 12.5% flat fee around 32% if it made it's mid range projected income.

I'm not sure how much the fight has to make in total to leave that much for the fighters. Let's say double? So the Haymon offer has the fight making $200m with the fighters sharing the $100m and AJ guaranteed 50?

I think the US estimate must be considerably more than an extra 20 or 30 for these figures to stack up?
