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

[Fabes88]

he wanted klits rematch in vegas and he wanted miller in NY so wilder will use that to his advantage or as a defense when aj says it must be in the UK for the fans.

Different situations. The klitchko fight was already seen in London and the Miller fight wouldn’t be a full unification.

Ajs argument was that U.K. fans have supported him from the start so would want to have his biggest fight in front of them.

"fast eddie" is a known liar

£15M Klitchko
£10M Takam (according to Hearn )
£13M Parker (again Hearn which is probably inflated )


Now I'm no mathematician but don't think that's £60M

I've just looked at a couple of newspaper articles stating Joshua's purses.

£15m for Klitchsko.
£10m - £11m for Takam estimate
£16m - £18m for Parker estimate

This doesn't include sponsorships and endorsements but taking the highest estimates brings it to £44m. $57m according to Google converter right now.

So it's splitting hairs really, either way it's a significant amount of earnings for 3 fights.

How would losing a HW unification fight to an undefeated, 40-0 champion, derail Joshua's "money train"?

That isn't a good question, but I'll answer it anyway. AJ loses and there goes his paper titles, his Frankenstein persona, his unbeatable aura. He'll be fighting for thousands, not millions.

50 million ain't what it used to be for Hearn and Josh

Who would be dumb enough to put up 50 Million for Wilder to fight Josh?? Wilder cannot sell out a taco bell.

Hearn is a younger version of the leech Bob Arum.

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.

I doubt Team Joshua would be doing Team Wilder any favours. What Joshua earns is public knowledge.

[Ray*]

What two fights did AJ make that 50M in? His career payday was Klitchko £15m


Where did this bs about AJ getting $25M a fight come from?

“Can” make....... not has made.

That isn't a good question, but I'll answer it anyway. AJ loses and there goes his paper titles, his Frankenstein persona, his unbeatable aura. He'll be fighting for thousands, not millions.

That's just silly. First, they'd likely have a rematch, which would command perhaps even more millions than the first fight. Second, how many prime, unified world champions have been relegated to making next to nothing after a single loss? You may not like Joshua, but be realistic.

Joshua would be fighting deontayduckus wilderquackus next if it weren't for deontayduckus wilderquackus losing his pen........War Povetkin!!!!!

You mean Povetkin dropped dirty and tested positive after Wilder made it to Russia plus Wilder has never ducked anyone and his last fight was much more of a tough fight for him than Joshua's last 4 fights and if Joshua was smart he would of fought him at the MGM
