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

[gntsfan84]

How many weak B sides negotiated a percentage against a big A side?

See Jacobs vs GGG. Say what you will about GGGs PPV buying power but he was a much bigger star at the time than Jacobs.

He really wasn't. GGG had already flopped on PPV. And they were only splitting about 5 mill. Joshua on the other hand makes truck loads so shouldn't feel the need to give Wilder 20 mill or more. Wilder makes nothing, so shouldn't expect to get paid a ridiculous amount.

HEARN IS A ****ING LIAR YOU ****ING IDIOT.

"Hearn said" isn't proof of anything and should automatically disqualify you from being allowed to post on this site.

Every promoter involved in the negotiation, including Hearn, Arum and Higgins said it was a percentage. Only later did Hearn change his story to try to justify giving Wilder a flat fee and UK ******s like you actually bought it.

Hearn told Sky Sports News: "We are single digits, percentages away right now"

ESPN reported Thursday that Eddie Hearn, who promotes Joshua, and Duco Events, which handles Parker, finally agreed to the financial split. Duco Events’ David Higgins told ESPN that Parker will earn between 30-35 percent to Joshua’s 65-70 percent of the pie.

Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has proposed a 70-30 split with Parker, whose team is countering for 65-35.

"It seems to me with a little tugging and so forth, they can do 2/3 and 1/3 and that's what I think is going to happen," Arum said.

The two sides, after weeks of negotiations, finally reached an agreement on the revenue split a few days ago.

At the moment, the revenue split has Parker receiving between 30 to 35%, and Joshua getting 65 to 70% of the financial pot.

"The fight has never been closer. We're a lot closer now to a deal because we've had a major breakthrough, which is that the two camps have formally agreed on the split," Higgins told ESPN in a phone interview from his home country of New Zealand. "The Joshua side made a small concession, and the Parker side has made a small concession."

Initially, Parker's side demanded 40 percent, with Hearn offering a fraction of that figure. Although Higgins declined to give the precise percentage split the sides agreed to, he said it was between roughly two thirds of the pie for the Joshua side and a third for the Parker side.

"It's between 30 and 35-ish percent for the Parker side," Higgins said. "I'll leave it at that for now, but it's somewhere close to the middle of that. Maybe after Eddie and I talk about it, we will make the figure public."

Just because Hearn said this leading up to the fight doesn't mean that's the deal that was made. Hearn could have offered a flat-fee in the end with Parker's side accepting. So how do you know?

I also see you didn't answer my other question. It's becoming a habit for you.

UK fans are so afraid of Wilder like they were going to get hit by one of his right hands. Simmer down and let the best fight the best.
