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

[Bad Bart]

$57m over 3 fights ($19m a fight) vs at least $50m for 1 fight? lol, and that's assuming the rosiest of projections.

Keep dancing if you want, lol

$50 million GUARANTEED! Plus back end! And according to Richard Schaefer, the rematch was $30 million guaranteed plus back end. So Eddie cost AJ conservatively $80 million guaranteed!!! But the 'AJ fans' (who roots against their favorite fighter's best interests?) are fine with it, he'll be able to make that up in only 5 fights! Hahaha! Gonna be sad if he gets chinned by Povetkin. I certainly hope that doesn't happen, I want the Wilder - AJ fight worse than anything, and I'm pissed that rat Hearn might have cost us that bout.

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.

So being ****** for not taking the biggest purse of your career only applies to Wilder?

[Ray*]

Against who? He’s not making 25 per.

Moving forward? He definitely makes that against Fury and Whyte rematch. The potential is there for someone that has only 20 fights and making £15m each fight.

Hahaha! Exactly! These Betty Hearn fans' logic runs only in one direction.

'Definitely makes that'. There you go, it's settled. Who can argue with that?

Not sure how Schaefer would know the details of a deal worked out by Haymon/Finkell/DiBella, but whatevs.

you aj fanatics are on another level, he was doing tons of interviews before he said 50mil after that he was shut up by papa hearn. its just true man but if this floats your boat then okay sir.

You fanatics in general are on the lowest level of common sense. And I haven't counted the man's interviews like your obsessed azz but I know that he doesn't talk anywhere near as much in the media or on social media as Wilder does. He seems calculated about the responses he gives and far more laid back than Wilder does. Wilder seems like he's about to have an emotional meltdown when he talks sometimes. The notion that Eddie Hearn tells Anthony Joshua when he can speak or not is a weirdo conspiracy theory. Maybe it's hard for a blowhard like yourself to understand the possibility that just maybe not everyone likes to spend their time or energy running their mouth on social media. Maybe some people don't have to beg for attention to get attention. Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua have different personalities and this is just a fact but if your conspiracy theories float your boat then okay sir, dude, whatever man...

It applies more to Wilder than Joshua.

It's not hard to understand.

Wilder turned down 6x his highest payday twice. Plus 3x his highest payday twice vs Whyte.

Joshua turned down 2.5x his highest payday once.

There's only one man here dodging fights.

[Bronx2245]

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?

It's fair if Wilder's Team is leading the promotion. Basically MatchRoom doesn't believe they can sell that fight in the U.S., and they don't believe the fight does $100 million in the UK! Now Team Wilder believes they will do at least $100 million in the U.S.! They'll take all the risks, but since they're taking the risks, they're keeping 50% What is most unfair, is for the fight to be in the UK, the fight does $100 million, and Wilder walks away with only $15 million!

I really don't understand the UK market, because there is not one sporting event in the U.S., where they sell 80-90K in tickets, then add 500K in PPVs, and the event makes under $100 million dollars! Any professional sport in the U.S. sells that many tickets, and takes in PPV money will make $100 million EASY!

The "Be Your Own Boss" stuff doesn't work for everybody. Some people need guidance and are lost without it so AJ is Loyal to Eddie I understand it. They have a GREAT THING going so it is no need to leave Eddie RIGHT NOW as long as he is delivery everything you ask for and more.
