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

[OldTerry]

If honour trumps money then Wilder would have accept the 12.5m flat fee like he said he would. If he felt insulted by that offer he would have been the undisputed HW champ in September 2018. You can’t tell me you don’t care about money, they claim he felt insulted. His revenge should be taking AJ out in the ring, money shouldn’t even come into it. Get those four belts, forget money... that’s certainly one thing you don’t get.

Wilder did accept the money amount offered, so stay out of the pub so you can think straight. What Wilder turned down was a contract without a fight date or venue specified. I'm sure Wilder wants to be paid as much as possible but he did not refuse the contract based on the amount offered.

so fkn what ?

Joshua (unlike Hypekin) actually is a superstar

he could have done whatever the fk he wants, and avoided his mando..... like Hypekin did lol

the only guy Joshua is avoiding is Wilder

Erm no, you can't just ignore your mandatory. The WBA actually enforced this or they were going to strip Joshua.

So it's actually true then, you don't know what's going on.

So who is it next for Wilder? Which other terrible heavyweights does Haymon control that he can feed to Wilder that he has not yet faced? Breazeale?

'kid, why are you always riding the short bus ?

on all of these boxingscene " issues "..... you ALWAYS seem to firmly side with the muppets

casual-fans are like hyena's..... they roam in packs

You've shown in the last two posts that it is actually you who rides the short bus. You're oblivious to what's going on. So take a seat and be quiet.

No, I'm very serious. I believe a man of character has far more value than a man without it. I believe God expects it of us.

Yeah, you're creepy. Or a troll.

You would be right if you were talking about you and me, however, you must know that a fairly large percentage of pro athletes go broke (bad investments, supporting huge amounts of people, flashy lifestyle etc). It isn't crazy to think that a pro fighter with limited time to make big money, is thinking about banking as much as possible before it all ends. Peace.

I would agree many pro athletes don't think much beyond the present but some have and some still do. I say a lot of trash about AJ (it's fun) but think he is already planning for his financial future. Wilder is too, but being a rural southern Alabama man he seems to enjoy many simple pleasurers like boating, etc. Wilders financial future is bright as long as he doesn't start thinking that nice paydays will never stop. Peace to you as well.

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.

lol yeah just give Joshua the vast majority of the money so Wilder can look like an idiot with taking a horrible deal. As I said it takes two to make a fight & that fight would draw a lot more than any other fight Joshua can make. You’re an idiot to think otherwise.

OK, then let Wilder fight his bums that he likes to fight for 1.5 million. It's no skin off my nose.

And what makes you think the Wilder fight makes the most money? Where are you getting this information from? Your head? Why don't you break it down for me?

Canelo would've fought on September 15th regardless

So what would've happened had Canelo v GGG was announced after agreeing to terms? Wilder v AJ Fight cancelled and postponed to later date?

Nothing would have happened. The fight would have been announced and presumably a broadcaster would have paid big money to show the fight.

If Canelo/GGG gets announced after that for September 15th too or the 22nd then they are shooting themselves in the foot by not securing as big money as they could. I doubt the GGG fight even gets made in that scenario as the money becomes significantly less and Canelo fights someone cheaper.

If Wilder/Joshua is announced after Canelo/GGG for the same week or week after, do you think broadcasters are going to offer big money, knowing that they would get significantly less buys? Hell no. It doesn't make financial sense.

It’s the most most popular heavyweight fight to be made right now. They’re the ones with all the belts so why wouldn’t it make the most money when it’s going to unify the division? It would do the most business. And Wilder shouldn’t take a garbage deal for this fight. He’d regret taking a flat fee when he should get a percentage split of the money. Joshua is the A side so he should get more but Wilder should get his fair share instead of just taking any offer. You just clearly don’t like Wilder obviously so you expect him to just take any deal & be happy with it.
