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

[Boxing Goat]

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

^ This and it's obvious

Lmfao!!! That fight was a 12 round hug and snorefest are you kidding me? That win was against an over the hill well past his prime fighter that should have retired years ago. That fight as you mention Fury didn’t even land 100 punches. HE DIDNT LAND 100 punches IN A 12 ROUND BOUT.

Get lost with your bull****e

Doesn't matter if it was boring or not, he still clearly beat the long time champ. Nothing Wilder has done comes even close. His resume has a long sorry list of bums on there.

There was no hugging going on. You should go and get an eye test. Seriously.

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.

That's arguably true, but the pompous Brits also have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and a false sense of superiority. As neither an American nor Brit, it's easy to see that they are both similarly arrogant. I anticipate that my assessment will upset some uptight Brits and Americans, so feel free to reply (retaliate) with your favorite insults about Canada. We're usually down-to-earth enough to brush-off insults from the mentally ill.

Joshua is the A-side, Wilder is the B-side,
but that's a cliche way of looking at the situation, and it's counter-productive for negotiating the fight. The A-side B-side reference comes from the antiquated record industry, and right now both sides are sounding like a broken record.

Who gives a **** what people think the split should be.

Wilder PUBLICALLY ACCEPTED a flat fee of $15m. You don't accept a purse if you are not happy with it.

Did he change his mind when the contract came through the post or what?

Publically accepted don't mean **** it's just hot air, signing the contract is what matters and when it came down to it Deontay lost his pen.

Your country can't have a lose grip on reality because your economy is at it's strongest in decades? Money doesn't even come into how attached you are to reality.

We just saved the world from nuclear disaster in which you would be directly in range, wtf else do you consider success exactly? lol

Wow......when you look at the sky is it blue? The whole fight was a utter disaster but don’t take my word for it

“Fury landed only 86 of 371 punches for a connect percentage of 23%, according to CompuBox. Klitschko was just as awful in connecting on only 52 of 231 punches for a connect percentage of 23 percent. In Wladimir’s prime of his career, he was capable of landing over 50 punches per round. To see him only landing 52 punches in a 12 round fight last night showed you pretty clearly how much the soon to be 40-year-old Wladimir has aged in the last two years.”

Klitschko would have lost to a bum that night....oh wait he did an overweight slob

Joshua sold 1.5 million PPV buys for the Wlad fight and sells nearly a million when he fights anyone else. So he's not far off Floyd in PPV buys. And does so in a much smaller country.

Here is a fun fact, did you know that the Hopkins/Calzaghe live gate generated more revenue than the Joshua/Klitschko live gate with only 14,000 people in attendance as compared to the Joshua/Klitschko live gate which had over 90,000 people in attendance? Also, did you know that California's GDP is greater than England's?

And that was his biggest payday? What were the purses for his other fights?

If this is true, then he gets paid pretty much the same as Wilder. So Wilder isn't a much bigger star. Plus, Parker didn't get 15 million for the Joshua fight it was about 6 million.

Parkers pay was 13 million UK, you do the US dollar math

[5000boxing]

Who cares? That doesn't make Wilder worth that kind of money.

And are most of these fighters American by any chance?

Lennox is from the u.k.. so is bellow.. parker from Australia.. fury.. almost every fighter that's interviewed is picking wilder to win by KO.. including breazeale, ortiz, miller, molina, dubois, joyce, haye.. etc... lol. I Exposed yo ****** ass.. now be silent and repent hoe!

Oh wait but but Hearn and Joshua said they would take guaranteed 50 mil long before flat fee fiasco. Suffering from amnesia are we now?
