......and yet Brits still have a false sense of reality and turn their backs on their greatest champion

The irony of this post is hilarious.

Just saying.

Parker got over 30%

And wilder way bigger star

Parker was paid more per fight than Wilder was.

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

[N/A]

Hearn says the contract did reflect that.

Please show us where Hearn says he sent a contract guaranteeing the fight would be next. Thanks.

he routinely fills barclays center more than anybody else. how many tickets did hearn sell there?

Haha Wilder has never sold out wherever he's fought.

Who cares if he sells more than any other American fighter. That's like a group of people being covered in faeces but one boasting they smell the least like **** compared to the others. Nothing to boast about at all.

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

How so, please elaborate.

why are you so emotionally attatched to this? if parker got a percentage wilder deserves a higher one, he could have got 35% I don't give a dam but the man deserves to negotiate a percentage, they both bring eachother the highest pay so to say wilder bings nothing is crazy. why do u think its ok to call another grown man a name over money your azz will never see? if it was the other way around I would say aj deserves 40% as well. as a boxing fan why are you crying that an opponent gets a percentage? its just something to hold on to so that you can argue why its okay for hearn to duck

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.

Oh don't worry mate. Once Povetkin KOs the bum he'll be getting his 50 percent along with the $50 Mil guarantee as well; Not to mention the four extra trinkets too.

Joshua isn't a bum like Wilder is.

Povetkin won't KO Joshua. Joshua will add another top name to his resume the way he likes to do. On the other hand, you have Wilder facing bum number 41 to look forward to. Enjoy.

Of course Team Joshua would, but I still think they have helped Wilder name. It has propelled him up to the point where I think his next fight can be on PPV.

Oh I agree this has all helped Wilder get his name out there more, but not to the point where he should get ridiculous money for the fight.

What? You think Deontay is going to be on PPV outside of the Joshua fight? It will flop hard if they try that. Very hard.

[Sid-Knee]

Lmao! Seriously dude.. not a single pro fighter agrees with you!

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

And are most of these fighters American by any chance?
