Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager: Maybe This is Hearn's Way of Killing April Too?

[True That]

Sorry but if the knucklehead is demanding 50% this is how the game is played!

I'm hoping that's the case. That Hearn is lowering the price so that maybe perhaps Wilder will accept $15 million or so when Hearn raises it back up after lowering it as a negotiation tactic.

But if Hearn is serious and offers a lower purse. Then Hearn is just as bad as Wilder is for asking for 50%.

This fight needs to get made and both sides need to be reasonable. And I'm rooting for Joshua, I'm rooting for him, but I have to be real, keep it 100 and keep it real.

Going back to demanding 50/50 is maybe Wilder's way of killing the fight.

It's Wilder's way of saying it'll take 60/40 to get me to come to the UK now.

Damn .. if $15million is scrub money then Haymon should be in the dock on a charge of modern day slavery with what he's been paying Deontay.

You have no idea what he's been paying Deontay.

15 million is scrub money for a fight SHO is willing to put up 80 million in purses for.

That is definitely true. But AJ generates a lot more more money in the UK than Wilder does in the US. Wilder hasn't even sold one PPV yet.

Wilder could easily sell PPVs, but he fights on a network willing to put up enough money to keep fights off of PPV. Wilder vs. King Kong would have sold the same amount as GGG's non-Canelo PPVs, but Showtime has the budget to keep fights of that level off of PPV.

He was offered 50% in a rematch if he won.....

And Parker was offered 55% in a rematch if he won.

Every step of the way, Wilder has been offered an inferior deal because Hearn viewed Parker as an easy fight and viewed Wilder as a tough fight. So Parker was made legitimate offers and Wilder was made terrible offers.

So after unifying all but one title, you think it's fair that Joshua should get a lesser split from his next fight?

Wilder brings much more to the table than Parker did. Wilder has the most valuable belt. Parker had the least valuable belt. Wilder has a much bigger fan base than Parker. Wilder brings US PPV to the table while Parker only brought New Zealand to the table.

If Parker got 33%, Wilder is deserving of at least 38%, if not 40%.

For Wilder to get a smaller cut than Parker did is simply crazy. He accepted a flat fee because he didn't believe Hearn would really do the fight next. Now that Wilder has proven his point, there's really no reason to fight AJ anymore unless Hearn is willing to make a fair offer.

So you do believe Joshua should pay the price for unifying and taking the bigger risk fights and accept a smaller split.

Simply crazy.

Parker was not a bigger risk fight than King Kong. Parker was the safer fight.

Wilder is a bigger name than Parker who brings a lot more to the table than Parker. So of course AJ's cut shouldn't be as high as it was against Parker. Common sense.
