Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Deontay Wilder is Man of His Word - He'll Sign Contract!

[filup79]

GGG didn't settle for a bs flat fee, when he knew the fight was bigger because of Canelo AND himself. He didn't get 50-50, but he sure as hell got a lot more than 15,000,000.

He also doesn't have a track record of huge ppv's either. In fact, his ppv numbers would seem to work against him. He also just made 1M his last fight. He still stuck to his guns and got himself a +40% split, because clearly Golden Boy and Canelo also want the fight.

What's wrong with Wilder doing the same? NOBODY takes a flat fee for a megafight....there is no precedent. If this fight doesn't get made, it'll be because AJ and Mismatchroom don't want it, not because Wilder wouldn't accept a bs flat fee.

But continue to spin all you want.

Exactly, if the A side really wants the fight the fight will get made. The only thing Wilder wants is fair split. AJ will not make the money he could make with Wilder with anyone else. Yes he makes his 20 mil but he will end up making more with Wilder and grow his profile more in the states.

Canelo wanted the fight bad enough when GGG wouldn't accept their offer that he ended up giving up money to GGG to make the fight.

Canelo could have easily said GGG doesn't want the fight and pricing himself out and moved on to Jacobs. All we hear from Hearn and AJ is sign the flat fee contract or we'll fight Whyte again.

No spin wilder has had 0 ppv fights

It’s only a mega fight because Joshua is involved

AJ has no PPV fights either. People barely tune to watch him on regular showtime here in the states. UK PPV doesn't mean much when Hearn puts on every ****ty fight on PPV.

If anybody believes the fight is only big because it involves Johnson....don't waste your time.

Wilder obviously doesn’t see 15million as a big deal ... he thinks he’s being short changed

If he was as confident as he makes out he would take the fight and become the star

Wilder can’t expect 50/50 when he hasn’t even sold a ppv event and has 1 out of 4 belts and fights daftys

I’m sure he will come to his senses . Saying that wilder turned down 4 million to fight Dillian so I won’t hold my breath

Deontay Wilder vs Dillian Whyte at O2 Arena sells out the building; Dillian Whyte is now in the main event for the July supershow, and you'd be a fool to expect that fight to sell out.

Wilder has a value, and he's sticking to it. 50/50 is a negotiating posture, but it's clear that $15m isn't fair value on the fight.

Joshua is a flaming *****...!!!

ok I’m out

Ppl saying Wilder should take this deal are probably the same ppl saying Pac was smart not to take a flat fee. End of the day, give the guy his 40% and move on. It’s too big of a fight for anyone to accept a flat rate. Both will make career high paydays.

Man, there must be some kind of law written somewhere against comparing Wilder to Pacquiao in any sense.

When it's more than 7X his highest single purse, $15 million should be a big deal to him.

Not enough to retire on

Its crazy that some of these Americans really think Wilder is somebody even though all the numbers and hard facts tell you he is not. He is irrelevant in his own homecountry.

10 Million people in ****in GERMANY watched Joshua live on cable tv. In a country that has 80 million people, in America 1 Million watched Wilders biggest fight vs Ortiz, in a country with 325 million people.

Think about it, Wilder is a NOBODY.
