Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Would've Accepted $50M Offer If Not For Hearn

[peplz]

The guy is telling you what he is up to. He says that Anthony Joshua is losing fans while he is gaining them. And the only way that could possibly be happeneing is because of failed negotiations that are blamed on Anthony Joshua by the public. Which is what he is hoping for. I’m telling you that Deontay Wilder never intended on fighting Anthony Joshua next. He just wanted to use the idea of the fight and Anthony Joshua’s popularity to promote himself. And he doesn’t have to risk anything to gain what he is hoping to gain. We will find out if it is working in his next fight. I hope Wilder gets the money he feels he deserves. I just wish that he didn’t have to go about it this way.

That means if the fight made $150 million in total revenue, Joshua makes $75 million, not $50 million! He could not make anything less than $50 million, but he could make more! Wilder does not deserve 50%, and he was willing to take 40%! He just wanted to make a bigger split than Joseph Parker did, and he does deserve that! Unfortunately, no one knows what Parker got! Hearn denied that Parker got 30%, but he never said what Parker actually got!

You are not understanding.

If Joshua gets $75m then Wilder gets $75m.

Joshua barely clears 3x his highest purse.

Wilder clears 25x his highest purse.

Joshua has 3 belts. Wilder has 1.

How the hell is that fair?

[Removed Now]

A guy like Joshua who can make that or more in two fights? Against anybody.

Wait a sec. I need proof of this. You telling me Joshua is already making $25-35 mil average per fight? I need a career break of purses for him. Just like how we can fact check Floyd. I could be late to the date but if that's really the case then they can easily give Deontay $20Mil for the fight.

[uppercut510]

of course he would have, anyone would have... notice aj hasn't been able to speak since he made that 50mil comment?????? aj isn't scared of wilder but hearn along with all these people telling aj not to fight wilder next put doubt in ajs mind and it looks terrible.

[MC Hammer]

That just means it's a 50% split.

Even Wilder die hard fans know that Wilder ain't worth 50% just because the fight sells well.

No it means whichever is higher

[EnglishOxide]

No it means whichever is higher

Yes. It means if it goes higher it becomes an outrageously ****** offer to take.

[Jimmy gold]

Quack quack quack is that a duck i here no it’s Deontay Wilder BUUUUUUUUMMMMM squuuuuaaaad

[j.razor]

Wilder you've ducked the big fights again and again with excuse after excuse why should we believe you this time ?

Its not impossible you aren't to blame this time but the other side say you are and they have a record of taking their challenges.

You lying like hearn so why should we believe you this time?

[bluemax]

Joshua is all smoking mirrors

This Deontay clown still don't get it.
Even when facts are facing him squarely on his face.
He's been making an average of $1.3 mil per fight,
while Joshua has been making more than 10x over.
And this clown has the nerve to blame Hearn.
Why don't you look at your own backyard first?
Why aren't you making the same amount as AJ?

SO English fans are willing to pay to watch Joshua fight tomato cans doesn't make Joshua a better fighter than Wilder. Fact is Joshua's big claim to fame is getting off the floor to stop a gassed 41 year old EX-CHAMPION who hadn't fought in almost two years after LOSING his championship. I won't even get into how his management avoids any real fights by controlling the press. Heck now their beating their chests for decisioning a small heavyweight named Parker while avoiding Ortiz and Wilder. Joshua is really just another protected british heavyweight champion not allowed to leave the country for a fight because his team can't control the outcome. Have they pulled his passport yet? Wilder should be considered the REAL heavyweight champion

[AdonisCreed]

I think AJ would have taken that money if it wasn't for Hearn, I believe it because he actually said it in a interview lol... But I doubt this fight happens anyways, I understand it's a huge fight to be made but the politics of boxing and promoters ruin it for fight fans. This type of situation you can't believe it's gonna happen until you actually see both guys in the ring trading punches!! So until I'll be looking forward to fights that are legit possibilities unlike the hoax this one is turning out to be lol
