Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Sick of Situation, Joshua Contract is One-Sided!

[pedro1098]

lets not mess around, DW could not sell out wembley 90k & do the ppv figures AJ IS DOING,

as stated 3 straps v 1 is a simple as it is

DW just about got through his last fight -fact

AJ has passed every test put in front of him, higher stock fighter -fact

the contract is going to be signed by AJ i guess on tv & sent over,

i hope whyte forces a mando on DW, i think whyte would give DW a right fight, AJ will freeze DW

Deontay Wilder is the real heavyweight champion of the world.

Anthony Joshua is a protected Eurobum who can sell out stadiums.

It's a 2 horse race, really?

The Whyte/Parker winner and Tyson Fury have better resumes than Wilder.

Come on buddy.

Do you honestly believe that any of the three beat Wilder or Joshua in a fight, seeing what we see now?

[Jab jab boom]

Nobody gets 50/50 splits with Joshua or Canelo. Not because they're anything super special, but because they have delusionally patriotic fan bases who ignore ducking and are willing to pay to see them vs inferior competition.

[Raggamuffin]

Now they have to either negotiate with Wilder in good faith or let Joshua’s dead personality, stoic, stiff ass rot in the U.K. with zero respect.

eddie talks the truth

[N/A]

Didn’t realise the gate was over 12,000

Thanks for correcting me . What about the other points made chief ?

We don't know what they really make per fight. It's in Hearn's best interest to exaggerate AJ's figures publicly. It's in Haymon's best interest to file bogus numbers with the commission. So you can't compare an inflated number with a deflated number and come to a logical conclusion.

AJ does likely make 4-5x what Wilder makes. He's the clear A-side. But a flat fee is still unheard of in a fight of this magnitude. GGG's filed purse was 1 million for his last fight, but he's still getting 45% against Canelo.

GGG vs. anybody other than Canelo would flop on PPV. Canelo vs. anybody other than GGG would sell a few hundred thousand on PPV. But together, they'll likely sell 1.5 million. That's just how boxing works sometimes. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Parker was given 33% even though he brings far less to the table than Deontay. 38% for Deontay to come to the UK would be very reasonable.

By Hearn's publicly claimed calculations, his 15 million offer is 37.5% for Wilder. If he actually offered Wilder 37.5% instead of 15 million, Wilder might actually take the fight.

But Hearn knows he is lying about what the fight is worth and that 15 million would turn out to be far less than 37.5%. If Hearn was telling the truth about what the fight was worth, he would just give the percentage instead of the flat fee.

Eddie Hearn is so terrified of his cash cow getting KO'd that he's willing to tarnish his reputation

Yes he is. He's only interested in getting tons & tons of that easy cash, so he sees his "rep" as only based on gettin' more. And once he can successfully avoid getting that robot into a legitimate scrap....he's good!....his reputation (in his eyes) is intact....

So going back to your 50/50 Demand is really supposed to get the fight done?
