Comments Thread For: Joshua Says Wilder Must Be "Realistic" in Unification Deal

[5000boxing]

He wants to fight Wilder, just not by ripping off the fans. Deontay is getting a good deal to fight in the UK and this fight will get made so just relax and stfu with all the Vegas ****.

Ripping off the fans? That's selfish or ignorant.. Only 90,000 fans can watch it live at Wembley.. millions of his fans can watch him on t.v.. not to mention the additional millions from around the world..

40% of what? Hearn isn't above a side deal. Low bid and pay AJ a bonus later.50 million is the bid. What can be more reasonable? 50 million, 40 pounds, and 3X the champion. What is AJ blathering about?

Wilder takes 40% of the total revenue generated from the fight! That's what Wilder asked for, before Hearn came up with the flat-fee, bull**** offer!

you honestly think Joshua would want to fight fury first before wilder???? Joshua has a better chance at wilder than a fit fury. Don't you notice that Joshua has stopped calling out fury???

I think AJ dominates Fury. I think he beats Wilder as well. But I think Wilder is by far the more dangerous fight. Wilder is long, athletic, fast, and can crack. AJ can make mistakes against Fury that won’t amount to anything but maybe losing a round. Those same mistakes against Wilder and you have ringside attendants holding smelling salt under your nose.

People need to realise it doesn’t matter what wilder wants as he is the d side in this fight

He fights for 1m sterling

Without Joshua he will continue fighting for that


Joshua earns 20m with or without wilder

Wilder needs to accept Joshua’s offer and fight him now or eventually he will lose as he isn’t that good and lose his pay day

[AJISKING]

Wilder should not be getting a pass for refusing to fight Joshua in the uk

The offer is on the table, if Joshua was ducking he wouldn’t be trying to fight wilder on the uk next

Only one allowed to make offers is Joshua as he is the a side

And guess what

King aj has made the offer

Wilder must stop ducking

what is the offer???? you are a fan, how much a fighter makes really shouldn't matter, seeing the best fight the best is what you as a fan should be wanting. we all understand wilder the b side. he offered aj his highest career pay day upfront in 50mil. wilder says he will fight in the uk for a decent percentage im not sure what you all are talking about. what is ajs offer after they turned down the 50mil? do you know?

aj didn't dominate parker or takaam, how do u see him dominating fury? I think fury is the only fighter who can beat both aj and wilder if hes focused that will be a hard fight for wilder or aj.

What people like you don’t realize is that once Wilder came with the $50M offer, all the A-side/B-side stuff became irrelevant. If you believe everything Hearn has said. The two sides are a long way apart on what kinda revenue they think the fight will generate. According to the Wilder side, the fight is gonna gross over $100M. And they’ve put their money where their mouths are by offering AJ a $50M guarantee. AJ changed his tune and said he was willing to make less money to fight in the U.K. Hearn claimed the fight was only gonna make around $40M-$50M. So for Wilder to take that, on his end he’s looking at making significantly less money going to the U.K. and letting Team AJ finance the event and take 30-40%, or whatever team AJ is offering. People like you keep saying Wilder needs to accept a career high payday and take AJ’s deal. But then turn around and excuse AJ turning down a career high payday and an unprecedented $50M guarantee. It’s an inconsistent stance and pretty much exposes you as a hypocrite.

It's not locatio because Wilder has said that he will fight in UK, but they probably need to make it worth his while considering that its an 100 million fight in the states and AJ's team are giving that up.

So if the pot is being shrunk on AJ's demand then Wilder should get a larger percent of this smaller pie than they initially offered.

Why should he? That pot doesn't exist without AJ.

AJ plans on making big money for 10 years. This is not a one off deal for him and he can afford to leverage for the best deal. It's Wilder who needs the exposure and the payday because his time is running out.
