Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder Won't Travel For Joshua, Then Povtekin is Likely

[Scipio2009]

Lolx.... Giving wilder 40% is money laundering.
It's too much for him, if he gets such amount with AJ's fight, we might not see him in the ring again for the next 2yrs.
He will go on holiday.

Floyd and Oscar split $75m for their fight, Floyd and Canelo split something like $80m on their fight, Floyd and Pacquiao ended up splitting something like $350m for their fight, and Floyd and McGregor split $300m on their fight.

People joke about money all the time, but how excited would even Joshua be if he had to go from $50m+ back to fighting for $20m in front of his home crowd.

Joshua likes the sport enough to not take off two years, but you're fooling yourself if you think he'd be chomping at the bit to get back in immediately.

None of these puff pieces up until this point haven't mattered. Hearn just likes to have a spotlight on himself. Wilder can say he'll go wherever, but he has little say in the matter.

The fact is, this fight won't happen until it comes to America. Haymon isn't having it any other way. He's got his next potential PPV star on his hands, and that superstardom that he's banking on isn't gonna happen with the fight airing at 2:30 on a ****ing Saturday.

There's a reason why he's offering $50 million, cause he intends to get it back on future PPV's. With Mayweather gone he needs another PPV star, and nobody else on his roster is remotely close to that point. Errol is probably the next closest, and even that is 2-3 years off.

a fighter is offered what he is worth. ATM wilder isn't worth 15mil and that's a fact.

No never, a fighter is offered what you can get away with offering him. Just like Eddie offering Wilder the flat fee of 12.5 million. If wilder accepted would that be his worth? I like you you usually talk a lot of sense and it can’t be easy answering some of the dumb questions that are thrown your way. I am a Joshua fan but what do you deem Wilders worth to the fight?

I knew from the beginning Joshua had no intention of fighting Wilder in the states and why should he. He needs every advantage he can grab being the A side. I know it he knows it and you know it. There is no shame in that it is what is it. I just hate all the flirting with the notion of going to the states when it’s pretty set in Stone the fight happens here. Then Joshua goes and opens his trap and talks about the 50 million he f#cked up just like I f#cked up betting on Broner, David Haye and many others.

If your Brother punches a girl and the boyfriend of the girl retaliates and beats your brother up on a one on one ,you may beat the guy up as that’s your brother but he was wrong for punching the girl in the first place.

Joshua wants to miss out on 7 million to give back to the fans... That’s cool but you can’t expect his opponent to travel away from home and take less than he would if he was fighting at home. That’s unheard of.

Hearn must can't read or hear Wilder??Wilder already said yes when asked bout going to the UK. This is just more sidetrack and excuses.

Problem with that analysis is Haymon's asset is 32, has suspect technique, has yet to break through and is currently earning $2m tops per fight. It's in his interest to get this fight sooner than later. If he keeps on waiting he risks finally being matched against someone who can take his '0' and with it a big portion of his market value.

No one knows to be fair. I definitely don’t know I can only give a projection. However whatever he will be making if he was fighting at home would more than likely be less fighting away which should not be the case. What’s your take bro?

I meant fighting Joshua in the U.S .

Because anyone telling me he gets over 12 Million they must think its a 70 Million dollar fight in the U.S .


For Wilder to make the excuse of money but then gamble taking less in the U.S is contradictions at its best .

In reality he would be probably recieving about 15 Million in the U.K , if he gets that in the U.S after Joshuas 50 and then everything else included that means the fight HAS to generate 75 Million at least .

In reality it does probably 65 tops if it happens next which leaves Wilder less then 10 Million inthe U.S .

This is why Wilder wants 40 % in the U.K .......


Its nothing more then grandstanding and his 1.4 million fights reflect that .
