Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Wanted One-Way Rematch Clause, to Pick Officials

[Corelone]

A quick Google suggests Joshua has made around $60m in his last 3 fights. Thats just the fight purse, not even mentioning sponsorships and his other side business and who knows how many mills that all earns?

Stop lying son. Joshua is the don here and he don't need to sell his A side advantages for $50m.

Sell his A side advantages? He needs them that bad? It's called prize fighting, not smaller prize fighting. There's a 50 million pound gorilla in the room that won't be ignored. A side advantages are used to make money, AJ is the first I've seen use them to ask for less money. That is really backward logic.

The side B argument went out the window once Joshua rejected Wilder's fifty million dollar guarantee (as Joshua was not the fighter bringing the big money to the fight). And as Wilder is an undefeated champion the contract must have a rematch clause either way. For Wilder to sign the contract without a cause granting him an instant rematch if he lost would be tantamount to saying that he was not a champion - that he did not hold a title. Hearn wrote a contract that Wilder had to reject, so don't be surprised that he did.

I could be wrong but I thought the 50 million offer was a one fight deal with no rematch clause. If so how could Joshua accept using your same logic

Joshua is a scared yellow female dog.
Hearn is a damn liar and a crook.
They never wanted to fight Wilder.

Floyd would have fought Wilder for 50Million + 50/50 Upside ...... Laughing all the way to the bank. Boxing is becoming a theater of the completely absurd.

Bottom line:
Move on Wilder, and tell your Management Team to man-up and start generating some revenue\interest for your fights, or else.

BTW, WTF is Haymon doing with Wilder? He should be fighting in Vegas for every fight. He will never generate the big bucks fighting in Alabama\New York.

These Champs today didn't learn a thing from Floyd, on how to promote yourself and rake in the $$$$$.

Boxing is freakin bizarre.

Sorry you wanted your time writing so many paragraphs that said absolutely nothing. It’s simple, Joshua was guaranteed 50 mil (more than he has made in 5 fights) to fight Wilder. Joshua decided to dodge. It’s that simple

That 50 million offer was over 2 months ago. Since that offer team Wilder has accepted a new offer proposed by Team Joshua. You received the memo didn’t you? Wilder accepted a 15 million flat deal yet never put pen to paper. However bizarrely you talk about the 50 million which was over 2 months ago as to why they are not fighting.

Joshua offered 12.5 million wilder declined as he should
Wilder offered 50 million Joshua declined( he is crazy looking at it monetary but he did)
Joshua offered 15 million wilder openly accepted but didn’t sign

Wilder wanted the fight I’m not questioning him but this negotiations were more than simple and Team Joshua is not entirely at fault

A sides normally get the money AND keep the advantages.

It's a perfectly straight forward logic.

If Wilder wanted to buy A side advantages he should have offered Joshua a much bigger split than 50%, regardless of what Joshua said, if he believed the fight makes more than $100m.

True. Wilder in Alabama is like asking for minimum wage.

[HanzGruber]

No surprise they wanna pick the ref and judges. He won’t even leave the uk for 50 mil

[Stinger1]

It's standard B side terms. Same ones Parker agreed to and he was a champion too. There has never been a more delusional B side in the history of boxing.

[True That]

Wilder seriously has lost plot.....when fights are chosen to take place in vegas the officials are chosen NSAC who govern boxing ...same as New York and the BBBC are the governing body of UK boxing.
That's normal when the fight would of been taking place over here.
As for rematch they both should have the chance to revenge but it seems increasingly common that the A-side don't grant the B-side a rematch as canelo did with golovkin.
The big difference here is unlike canelo Joshua has 90% of the world titles.
Wilder seems like he is loosing his **** big time

Well put sir, #Facts
