Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua, Hearn Degraded Me - $15 Mill & No Percentage!

[Oshio]

Joshua and Wilder need each other for a good PPV. No way Wilder fights anyone to generate a better PPV than Joshua. The fight real boxing fans want to see is not Fury-Wilder but Joshua-Wilder

[koolkc107]

All anyone has to do is look at what past champs and names were offered and compare it with what Wilder was offered.

It should then be clear that Hearn sent a lowball he never in a million years thought would be accepted.

Wilder did, on the condition he be the very next fight.

Hearn then found a way to weasel out of that.

All of boxing knows this.

The fact that AJ fanboys deny it reflects on them and nobody else.

Then you would lose on that too because I'm from Southern California, dumbass hahah. I bet you are a Trump fan though...

Lol ok, i could admit when in wrong. And I'm Dominican from Jersey; you know i hate trump lol

It may well in total revenue. But the fighters don't split the total revenue, they split what's left after Sky/Showtime, the undercard, the venue, the security etc are all paid. The 2 main event fighters aren't the only people who make money on a show so you can't just add up all the revenue and base a % on that.

You're wrong. After sky/showtime negotiate their fees, Main event fighters purses are the first thing negotiated. What's left over after that goes to the undercard, not the other way around.

the aj/hearn fan boys are easily becoming the worst fan base. Imagine if team wilder was doing all that hearn n aj are doing, they would call it out daily

Those are Finkels numbers !


No the fight would have generated between 50 /60 Million THIS year in the U.K .


In reality only a DUMB ASS thinks its would have generated over 100 Million in 2018 !

This fight would EASILY get 600-700k PPV buys here in the US. Probably more. 700k buys would generate $42mils, and thats not including gate, sponsorships, the UK and every other country TV rights fee to televise the fight. Again, this fight EASILY generates over $100 million is total revenue

Wilder, Fury, AJ, Ortiz, Parker need each other for paydays......

Only 5 HW even matter so even if AJ is the A side he needs these guys to get really paid. It's not like we're in the golden era of HW. So even if AJ gets lion share him and Hearn need to understand that they can't do it alone. These guys need to fight sooner than later to maximize return.

By that logic, the guy who is the bigger draw gets to screw over the "B-side" every time. It essentially says that your past purse is more important than your current value.

Thats not by THAT logic bc that IS logic .... that is how the fight business is done ,by what you are generating .


If it wasnt then no one would fight eachother and wait for just big fights ( most do anyway ) !

Well you must be smarter then Hearn and Finkel then !

Two fighters never been on PPV in the states and one at all generating a 100 Million fight ?

Once you launch the Deontay Wilder Show, it almost won't matter who he fights.

A good drawing PPV with Fury, another good drawing PPV for the Ortiz rematch, and then you hope against hope that Breazeale gets some heat behind him for the third PPV for Wilder.

Three KO wins, to follow up the massive KO win in the first fight, and you've got a PPV audience ready to watch an American heavyweight champion flatten someone.

That's all very speculative and a long way down the line if it were to happen how you see it.

You would hope Joshua v Wilder happens sooner rather than later. If it is sooner (say April next year or Autumn next year at worst) then there's no chance that Wilder would have built his brand up that much to be able to compete with Joshua's at the moment.
