Comments Thread For: Bellew Shreds Wilder: Nobody Knows Him, No Country Backing!

Don't believe those kind of net worth websites, they're garbage.

one of them stated a fairly well known musician friend of mine is worth about $9m and he laughs and said he hasn't even seen $1m, not even close.

Whatever you read about famous peoples earnings is wildly inaccurate anyway, their accountants aren't going to leak all their net worth numbers for tax reasons.

pick a site and id wager dw earns more.

bellwho has some nerve talking about someone not being known.

So wilder is a bum according to bellew. But aj still don't wan't to go near him for $50 million??? Come on...

Sausage **** bellew making as much sense as Eddie hearn.

He didn’t want to go near him on unfavourable terms for $50m. That was a business decision and probably a smart one.

There’s nothing about AJ’s record that suggest he ducks a challenge even his mando isn’t a soft touch. The other guy though, different story entirely.

So when I look at how this is all playing out, I’m inclined to believe the guy that’s been on a steady upward trajectory since his 13th fight, not someone with corpses for 39 of his 41 outings (Stiverne might as well have been carried in sleeping for the second fight).

What you talking about?

Bellew earned £2.5m guarantee from both fights with Haye, which is probably around $3.5m in US money, and that was before PPV cuts, both fights sold just under 800k PPV's, so you're looking at over 1.5m PPV buys. He probably walked away with close to $5m from the second fight and a bit less from the first.

Wilder's highest purse is $2.1M...and he's never had PPV coming in on top of that.

So Bellew has been earning double what Wilder earns.

Sorry but a guy who campaigns as a hw but was knocked out at 175 doesn't have much place to talk about a hw champion. Especially when his biggest wins are vs the hw version of a crippled Sergio martinez in David haye and he barely squeaked by a hype job in Adonis creed.

What does that even mean? *******s.com

I'm dealing with facts, my friend....

Show me where Wilder has earned more money than Bellew did in his last 2 fights with Haye..

His highest purse is $2.1m, which doesn't come close.

if thats where you want to get your info from, go for it (b/u)

the 2 separate sites i got my info from gave the numbers. if those sites had bellwho earning more, youd be happy.

So now I am hearing the excuse that know one knows Wilder, and his country doesn't back him?

Someone tell me how or why this matters, even if it is true? (Which it isn't) If you are a boxing fan in the U.S., you know Wilder. Same goes for the UK and other places.

Look, if someone backs you in the tune of $50 million plus 1/2 of PPV revenue, that is the only people you need to believe in you, and back you. Pretty much Floyd's entire career not many people liked him, but many knew of him.

Turning down that kind of money will haunt both Hearn and AJ for a long time. That ship has sailed. Now that the duck is done, I hope Povetkin KO's AJ. I will laugh for days.

Why would i be happy?

I'm not a Bellew fan and also would love to see Wilder smash AJ.

I'm just stating facts that Bellew has earned more in his last couple of fights than Wilder has ever earned in his. It's not an opinion, it is fact.

If you wan't a site.

Now show me where Wilder has earned a bigger guarantee than that, and that's not even with the PPV sales included..
