[Raggamuffin]

I had to block that guy he will argue for no reason hes too much. he may be paid by hearn to comment here

He was on ignore a long time ago. Many of the other Joshua D blowers, I don't even respond to even when I'm quoted lmao.

Is the author ***ing ******ed?

The headline and the entire story are exact opposites.

Nobody at boxingscene checks the headlines?

We all know what BigPop meant. 60-40 Joshua. ******

[The D3vil]

LMAO, Lennox is a top 10 All-Time heavyweight, why would he be jealous of Anthony Joshua?

Like, there's like ZERO chance that Joshua will ever have the resume of Lennox.

You Brits just can't wait to throw your own countryman under the bus for telling the truth that the whole world has been saying including Tyson Fury and Frank Warren, that Hearn and Joshua don't want it with "The Bronze Bomber".

Wow i must have read this wrong ?

If Lewis meant 60 % for Wilder ,he clearly is lying .

Unless hes Wilders best friend so he could have dementia from getting hit bc those two are the only options !

He has hung out with wilder before. Its on you tube

[vitali1999]

If you would have read the article, Lewis said 60/40 split in Joshua’s favor

Now that's better

You won't find many people who agree with you. Fury clearly won the fight and deserved the titles.

Fury represents a low-point in recent heavyweight title history. Thats how he will be remembered by generations to come. A mentally ill flash-in-the-pan who had a cup of tea with the title. A more athletic version of Primo Carnera, with a fraction of the power, half the intelligence, and twice the mouth. Dont mistake his obnoxious (and sometimes unpleasant) behaviour for charisma.

Wilder may be more popular in the states than Joshua is, but it still doesn't get people buying tickets to his fights. So it's neither here nor there.

You don't know what Wilder is paid either, so stop trying to make out what you're saying has any value because it doesn't.

GGG made half of What Wilder did because HBO didn't put much money up for a late replacement. And Wilder only doubled that in one fight, against Ortiz. Wilder usually doesn't get paid that much.

Hundreds and thousands of American are going to buy the PPV? You've got nothing to back this up with. It's only a hope that it does. But as trends have gone when fighting on Showtime or HBO then being on PPV the numbers have dropped quite significantly. Look at Ward, Golovkin and Crawford for examples.

If you really believe Wilder deserves to make about 30 mill in one fight, you're crazy. He hasn't earned that kind of money. Why should Wilder get so many times his biggest payday but Joshua only gets to make 2x his biggest payday? That isn't fair in any way.

30% max is all Wilder is worth. Any more than that and he's taking the piss. If he wants more, Joshua should just ignore him and let him fight his bums for short money.

Lmao! Seriously??.Did you say if Wilder demands more money they should just ignore him? I don’t care if Wilder gets 10% or 90% I just want to see the fight! I DON'T GET A *****ING DIME From the split EITHER WAY..

Secondly, you say Wilder should fight bums.. in your opinion, which current heavyweights do you think are not bums?

Third, to say what another man deserves or not deserve isnt very g,.. because AJ isnt shadow boxing.. I.think 50/50 is fair when its two men fighting.. this is for undisputed.. both champions, undefeated KO artists. Wilder is bringing the American market.. AJ is bringing the u.k market.. its a big fight.. I just want to see it!

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

Check and Mate! Excellent point sir

[MELLOMAN007]

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

Exactly man!

[MELLOMAN007]

he's a similar kind of b side to Joshua that ggg was to Canelo. He deserves a portion of the ppv cut plain and simple because he's the highest grossing fight available to Joshua. You clearly love Joshua as you seem to have posted 158 times today alone just to defend him but the fact is, Hearn doesn't want this fight for Joshua just yet. That's all there is to it.

That is the honest truth
