Comments Thread For: Hearn: I'll Pay Wilder $5M to Fight Anyone He Wants Next in N.Y.

[Scipio2009]

Showtime have also invested millions into Joshua and they have lost out. I find it hilarious how Harvard/Ivy League's suits at Showtime have been outmanoeuvred by a Car Salesman from London.

Eddie Hearn walked out on the handshake; nothing more and nothing less.

After all that talk about global stardom, the car salesman from London saw what he had and will instead choose to develop Joe Calzaghe 2.0.

Afternoon fight on DAZN against Povetkin, afternoon fight on DAZN against Pulev, and then hope against hope that Fury comes onto form enough for his own afternoon fight on DAZN, with the American public generally not giving a **** because he's shown himself to be chicken.

Have fun with that

He has all this money to give away but can't even win a purse bid for his own fighters?

[Ray*]

I heard him saying this, why is he compensating Wilder? Because of DAZN?

[eco1]

I have some info that will post when the time is right.
Wilder did not sign the contract and was only waiting for the right time to go to the media and cry when in reality he did not want the fight.

This is inside info.


























from my kitchen.

F both guys!

Things move a lot faster when there is 1 manager involved. Once you start adding co-managers and advisors to the list, the money gets thinner so the purse demands are larger. Imagine if Wilder only had to share the 20milion with 1 manager? Itd likely look more enticing.

Its only low balling when youre worth is higher...

Wilder isnt gonna get any of that money without AJ and thus, Hearn.

What’s Wilder gonna do? Complain about being lowballed for 15 + 5 *, not take it, and laugh all the way to the bank with 2-3 mil? “I showed them! Hah!”

Doesnt matter who you’re a fan of but we dont live in a fair fantasy world.

As far as I know, Parker never got 30%. They WANTED a third, but (again, as far as I know and this IS coming from Hearn, so take that what you will.), Parker got less than half of the rumored 13mil. I think it was more like 20% that Parker got.

Keep building his own stardom.

Wilder-Ortiz drew 1.1m homes on Showtime competing against a card on HBO and a UFC PPV. To that, you can add that he put something like 14k into Barclays Center if memory serves me right.

He heads back to New York after his great performance against Luis Ortiz, and let's see how many folks come out to see him and tune in on TV. If the numbers hold up/grow, you're basically at the point where Wilder gets moved to PPV; 400k homes @$65/$75 gets $12.5m put into the PPV pot (plus the re-air on Showtime the following week).

And then you run with the Deontay Wilder show.

[Removed Now]

Wait is Deontay actually signed to showtime? Or is it a under the table deal.

Wilder vs Stiverne 3 coming up next!

Beat me to it!!

I would love it if he managed to get $5m for Sefer Seferi

[sicko]

Tempting but you know with Eddie it is a CATCH to this. Likely would be exclusively on DAZN or something

[SUBZER0ED]

"In addition to offering him a $15 million purse for facing Anthony Joshua on April 13 at Wembley Stadium in London, Hearn is willing to pay Wilder $5 million for his next fight."

Sometimes you can accept being treated like a b*tch! Canelo treated GGG like a b*tch, but GGG is getting a split!

June 13, 2018:

Two hours after the Golden Boy Promotions-imposed 12 p.m. PT deadline for Golovkin to accept an improved offer under which Alvarez would get the lion's share of a 57½-42½ revenue split came and went, and with Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya telling ESPN "there is no fight," the sides came up with a last-ditch idea that convinced GGG to accept the terms.

We know GGG is getting at least 42.5%! Even Parker got a 30% split! A 15 million dollar flat-fee is basically asking you to suck AJ's d!ck. If Wilder accepts the fight for a flat-fee, he might as well fight in pink lace boxing shorts! I'm sure Oscar has a couple of outfits for Wilder, if need be!

I thought the final deal was 55%-45%.
