Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Won't Accept Flat Fee; Now It's 50-50 for Joshua Fight

[Sid-Knee]

But Joshua isn’t going to make what he can against Wilder against other opponents. Wilder deserves a good percentage of the money due to what he brings to the table for that particular fight. GGG doesn’t draw anywhere as much as Canelo in general & he’s getting 45% due to the fact that no other fight Canelo has is going to draw as much as against GGG. Mayweather only wanted to give Pacquiao a flat fee until Pacquiao stood firm with wanting a nice percentage of the money & he wound up with 40% which he deserved due to how much business the fight would draw. So I think Wilder should get a nice cut of the money but I agree it shouldn’t be 50/50.
60/40 sounds more than fair.

Golovkin only got 30% the first time round. It was only after the first fight did big numbers did Golovkin deserve more. Plus he's a more proven and much better fighter P4P than Wilder will ever dare to be. So no, Wilder does not deserve 40%.


Don't ever mention a big PPV star in Pac in the same sentence as that scrub Wilder again. To think the split should equal that only shows how detached from reality you really are.

I don't really agree with that

FACT: Joshua is obviously avoiding that fight..... for now

but.....

Joshua can make more than he will be paid for Wilder by fighting 2 homeless people..... which is why he is avoiding Wilder

but Wilder would have to fight 10x to make more money than the Joshua fight will bring him

also..... Joshua has no problem fighting anyone else, he proved that by signing Povetkin next..... is it Wilder he wants no part of lol

if Wilder gets offered 35%, he should jump on it..... but, they are not offering him anywhere near that

























ooops, nearly forgot.....

long live KING FURY !!

Joshua is fighting Povetkin next because he's a mandatory. Do you even know what's going on? It doesn't seem like it to me.

AJ made all kinds of demands all which were met by wilder. Like you all say , AJ is the A side and if the A side wanted the fight it would have happened just like Canelo who was the A side made the GGG fight happen.

Joshua wanting to fight at home isn't a demand. He's the A side so it's a given. It happens with all A side fighters. But you want to try and make something of it. Haha.

This is what is so refreshing about Wilder. He is a throw back to the time fighters fought to prove they were the best. He is what a true heavyweight champion ought to be. Wilder is not all about money, he has plenty and a few million dollars more will support him very comfortably for the rest of his life. Now, for him, it is all about honor and not ducking anybody. All of you who continue to mock him and his genuineness are as phony as your protected so called champion Anthony Joshua. AJ's big money fights will have to happen in the UK because we here in America won't support him. In the end it will be Wilder who wins what really counts, the respect of decent people.

Either this is an ironic joke, or you truly are American to your core. And I don't mean in a good way.

You're a nutter, plain and simple.

hearn should put a 24hr deadline on his contract, tick tock tick tock

this contract will self destruct in 24 hours, que mission impossible music

[Sid-Knee]

You just don't get it do you? Insult a man enough and he tends to want revenge. This is where Wilder is now. AJ better pray he never fights Wilder because I really do believe Wilder will do his best to ensure AJ is never again physically the same man. For some men honor trumps money.

It's not surprising seeing Americans justify this nonsense. No matter what that 2 bit nobody does you'll try and spin it and make out what he's saying is rational when it clearly isn't. Wilder is a punk, and so are you. You're there to laugh at, nothing more.

Look, it is really ****** to talk about either man needing the fight for financial reasons. They both are quite well off financially at this point. Sure AJ has more money than Wilder but Wilder already has enough to live the type lifestyle he enjoys for the remainder of his life. How much money is enough? For some, no matter how wealthy they become it is not enough. What can Joshua do with $100 million that he can't do with $50 million? Have five homes instead of two, ten cars instead of five? Obviously Wilder is the more grounded of the two.

Haha, and yet Wilder won't fight unless he gets half. It's all about the money. Wilder refuses to get knocked out by Joshua unless he gets a retirement cheque. The guy is a coward. And you're a nutter.

[Sid-Knee]

His next fight will be against Brezeale adn he will win by KO much quicker and decisively than did Joshua.

Wilder always struggles against bums and goes late with them. This will be no different. Not even a shot Arreola got blown away. So this just shows how detached you are from facts and patterns.

[Sid-Knee]

This is all VERY STRANGE, causing one to wonder about the sanity of both the principals and their management: this fight will be, by far, nothing short of historic in boxing, the BIGGEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP in decades, this fight is about MEGABUCKS, WILL BEAT THE HIGHEST GROSSING FIGHT ever, Mayweather-Pacquiao which was $410 mil.with the live gate being $72 million on 5/2/15, WILL UNITE ALL THE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLES so somebody can call themselves "UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION", THERE WILL BE A RE-MATCH to make MORE MEGABUCKS, Joshua-Wilder II set more "highest grossing" fights. THERE COULD BE A 2d RE-MATCH to make more MEGABUCKS. What is it about these fools (including their management). How does one (Joshua) turn down $50 million? How does Wilder twist his mouth to say he hopes Povetkin beats Joshua, when to do so will mean uncertainty and delay for Joshua-Wilder Mega fight? Go figger.

This fight will be the highest grossing fight in history?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha and Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Americans are the worlds idiot. Totally breath taking how extreme you loons are.

[Sid-Knee]

It's only half different. AJ has the belts but he also need to get the yellow stain removed from his name.

Joshua doesn't have a yellow stain on his name you complete idiot.
