Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Wilder Deserves 60-40 Split for Joshua Fight

It won't generate 100 mill in the UK. 50-60 tops.

You deranged Wilder fans think he's going to come over here and every one is going to want to buy the PPV. Deontay is a no mark in both countries. The PPV won't surpass the Wladimir fight. So stop deluding yourselves thinking Wilder is a someone over here. He isn't.

I’m not a wilder fan. It’s just common sense that they are low balling him on purpose because they don’t want the fight

But it would be very peculiar to insist he has no following when he has the largest following of any active American fighter.

And in the big picture that means less than nothing. He still brings no money to the table. If he did, he would be paid a lot more than he is.

[Sid-Knee]

How so, please elaborate.

Because it's the Americans who have a false sense of reality. You're whole society from the top to the bottom is a ****ing mess. You have that idiot Trump as your president for crying out loud.

Parker was paid more per fight than Wilder was.

How is Wilder a MUCH bigger star? How do you justify this?

Ha ha ha ha! You're delusional! Parkers best payday before Joshua was 1.1 million.

WTF is your problem? Do you just disagree for the sake of doing it or what?

15 million for the fight isn't low balling anyone. He makes 1.5 mill a fight usually.

Name a weak B side who doesn't sell tickets that made 15 million or more?

I've seen it being more than that on average. Show me where his biggest payday was only 1.1 mill?

Ggg you want some more????

Hearn had to overpay for fights before, he doesn't need to keep doing it. If fighters are legit they would go and take on the champ with the chance to win the titles and make by far their biggest payday. But no, they want a retirement cheque and have to be given silly terms just to get them in the ring. It's ridiculous.

Besides, Joshua has 3 titles now so he shouldn't be giving out terms that are way beyond generous.

lmaoooooooo man you so called boxing fans are the biggest jokes ever. gee wiz. u got it man im done, there is no use

Ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Says someone who knows jack sh@t about life here!

We are doing better here than we have in fkn decades! Decades!

Business is ridiculous! Our economy is even better then imagined and we even denuclearized a world wide threat in less than half of a single term! Everything is better aside from butt hurt abusers of our welfare system and illegal immigrants! You literally couldn't be more wrong.

You should not trust the media who is controlled by ******* twats who hate Trump.

Trump is the single most accomplished president ever if judged on time in office relative to overall turn around.

people tend to arbitrarily decide what the right thing is based on who the fighter is. Wonder if all of these people who agree that wilder should just accept a flat fee were also in agreement with it when mayweather offered one to Pacquiao or when canelo offered one to ggg. Btw, both guys went on to make millions and millions more than the flat fee offer once the fights happened.

I get what you’re saying, but in regards to Pacquiao he was a certified PPV fighter without Mayweather, so he could demand more and rightly so, he had brought in huge numbers on ppv so he had every right to demand more than a flat fee.

Wilder however doesn’t have that luxury, he has yet to have a single ppv, so he doesn’t really have a leg to stand on declining offers 6/7 times more than he’s ever earnt, but I do get what you were trying say.
