Comments Thread For: Joshua: My Side is Signed, I Need To Get Wilder To Sign

[rickJen]

I agree, but Hearn has to be Hearn. He has to convince people that turning down 50 million dollars was a good business move.

Problem with that statement is AJ is not demanding more.
He's in fact willing to take less in favor of having the fight in the UK.
In contrast, Wilder wants more than he deserve.
See how ****** that comparison is?
It's greed on the Wilder side.
F#k the 4 titles that are on the line.
He wants 50/50.

Of course Joshua would sign a boyish contract in his own favor. Then dare Wilder to sign it.

You English dudes are delusional. Clearly Wilder wants the fight, and I believe Joshua wants it too, but not too sure Joshua's team are as confident. $15mil flat fee for a fight that will generate over $100mil, 85-15 split is bs. Wilder deserves much more

‘Deserves’? Why? Wilder has about 20% of the fan base, ie paying customers. Go check Instagram Joshua has millions more followers ....literally

Add to this, he hasn’t done anything to fight credible opponents...oh here we go again...yeah I know he fought an old man that also had zero pedigree (oh but he was feared...total BS) and an out of shape ex-champ about as good as Charles Martin...that’s it, that’s his resume Fact.

He deserves what he’s been offered...three times his best ever pay day. Problem is he talks better than he fights and believes he’s famous, but even his hometown don’t give a shizel.

In his favour? What because it’s in the UK? As it should be he’s got majority of the belts, effectively making Wilder the challenger.

Onde now has Joshua bought a pen? Do your business with Povetkin and than look for another fight
On a side note, I don't think showtime will let Wilder fight on Dazn

You know what I've criticised both sides but this surprises me.

Does the American public even think for itself? It's seriously depressing how manipulated you are by your media. Honestly guys. Get out in the open world. For real.

80% good contract. Could be better. 80% more than Deontay will ever earn again.

He holds all the belts and is clear top dog. Wilders promoters ducked. Hearn was awkward at worst. You have to be less led by the media guys, it's embarassing. You didn't even like Wilder 2 years ago.

Wilder wants 50 million dollars, AJ is driving the price down and acting siddity, like Wilder is beneath him. This is,hen house philosophy 101. Ghicken chit.

Real boxing fans can see this is a blatant duck!

That’s because he’s MANNY PACQUIAO. Wilder is not.

Pacquiao was a B side only in the most technical of terms. He was and is a massive star.

In what world is this a 100 million dollar fight? Like...has wilder been making 50 million dollar fights alone that I’m unaware of?

Aj and Wladimir was a HUUUGE event and was not 100 mil or even close. I’d say Wilder and Aj is about a 60 mil fight and thats being optimistic.

15 mil is a little low but because Wilder commands so little...it’s an astronomical raise percentage wise compared to his regular fights.

I do think it’s low but...if that’s what it takes to become the king of your division, it’s worth it every time and history shows that first you take the deal and then you forcefully take the status from the opponent. Wilder needs to go in with a winner’s mentality and not like this is going to be his last fight and is trying to cash out.

Dude, in the USA ALONE this fight does close to 1mil ppv buys. 1milx$60= $60mil. That's US ALONE. now include gate, sponsors and TV rights for every other country around the world, this fight EASILY surpasses $100mil.

Plus. He was already willing to take a pay cut and bend over to meet all demands, yet Hearn still found a way to not make the fight. If you were lead to believe that the fight would happen if you accepts certain terms, but the fight does not take place, are you going back to the negotiating table willing to accept the same terms?? Prices just went up because you're wasting my time

I know you're in the UK, so I'll spare you. Forget Instagram or the press, check the TV ratings. Wilder's fights are one of the highest rated fights here in the US everytime he fights. Stop listening to diek riders and do your homework. Yes, Joshua is the A side and deserves the biggest share of the pie, but 75-15?? That's a lil extreme. 65-25 or 70-30 is more like it.
