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

[chepboxingking]

Wilder must rely on a huge following of dumbed down fans ?


“When you gave a guy lower than me that has done nothing for the sport a percentage but you want to give the baddest man on the planet no percentage? It don’t get no clearer than that they don’t want the fight.”


They gave Parker a % based on a far smaller fight bc he generates PPV in his own country .

Parkers earnings were under 8 Million .

15 Million is 30 % of what the estimated amount of a 50 Million dollar U.K fight was based on .


Wilder AGREED to the 15 Million ,if he didnt like it he shouldnt have accepted it and then back track about a NO date or venue excuse bc its not a problem now is it ?

It also came with a rematch claus worth 50 Million to him assuming he wins which he HAS to think that ???????????



“How low can you think of a person to degrade a man of my stature and what I’ve done for this sport. "

The man has severe mental inferiority complex , hes literally a legend in his own mind and how a boxing fan from any country supports this idiot is beyond me ? lol

Hes literally avoided fighting top guys since 2008 to 2017 but everyone needs fans i guess !

Only a dumbass believes this fight will generate ONLY $50 MILLION. This fight EASILY surpasses $$100mil in total revenue. $15mil of that is only 15%. Seems pretty low to me.

15 million is degrading, but the 2 million to fight Ortiz is just right? Also, "degrade a man of my stature and what I’ve done for this sport". You mean, fight 38 bums and prance around like you are the greatest thing in the heavyweight division? You mean, not fight mandatories for 3 years while fighting more bums and not making the Povetkin, Klitschko, Whyte, Parker or anybody-with-a-pulse fights??? If I was Hearn, I would give Wilder even less because of all the **** he's been talking. Every single day, Fury and Wilder act like little *****es when it comes to AJ and Hearn. Shut up. Either take the money and make the fight or go away. But stop acting like little *****es about it

Bet any money you're from England..

Not even in Parker's mind

Its in Hearns & Joshuas minds.

60/40 was fair before this fight. If Deontay beats Fury, his value goes up and he's not taking 40%. That's ridiculous after a Fury win. He'll be way more valuable that 40%. It's 50/50 at that point.

N
Honestly I’m not convinced. Fury looks far from a top10 fighter at the moment, so although good to have on his resume it’s a gimme fight really

[Laligalaliga]

These dummies with the, "it's more than he ever made!"
Hearn puppets didn't realize that's not how you do business. Your worth is not based on how much you've made, it's how much you can generate for a specific event and these guys spent endless hours arguing just to be proven completely wrong.

So at the moment, how much can wilder, a man that has never been on ppv generate?
You wansta.

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

What is he making vs Fury 3 million? Wilder and Fury are not well known in the US and the fight is taking place in Vegas on American PPV? At this point Fury looks like he is out of shape, inactive and cashing out while he can. I would be surprised if they sell over 100k.

[Laligalaliga]

I'd say **** Joshua of he beats Fury. Joshua is a ****en coward and I hope Headvetkin kos his boring ass.

Lolx.... You can only hope as you have always done.

“When you gave a guy lower than me that has done nothing for the sport a percentage but you want to give the baddest man on the planet no percentage? It don’t get no clearer than that they don’t want the fight.”

this ^^

sooooo obvious

Warren even confirmed it.....

"Fights happen for two reasons and they don’t happen for two reasons,” Warren said. “One, the money’s gotta be right. And two, you either fancy the fight or you don’t. Wilder, Tyson, the money’s OK and they both want the fight. Joshua, somebody didn’t want the fight. Wilder wanted it. They made a huge offer. It’s been well-reported and I’ve seen the thing that they put together for it.”

“So for me, the money’s right. That’s huge money. I can’t see a boxer walking away from a guarantee of $80 million minimum. So the only answer, the real reason the fight didn’t happen is they don’t fancy it"

sooooo obvious

[Straightener]

All that ends if Wilder-Fury does anywhere near 500k PPV homes in the US (@$65/$75, 500k buys puts the US TV take at $16m-$18m; you figure that BT Sport PPV will draw money at 2am in the UK, and Las Vegas will bring out money too. Wilder and Fury could be ending up splitting at least $40m).

Anthony Joshua's biggest pot ever was the ~$43m that he split with Klitschko.

The only way this sell big in America is if no one has seen the state of fury in his last two ‘fights’

500k is unrealistic ... you have to remember that fury stinks the place out every fight . Not many people in the U.K. are gonna stay up till 4.30 to watch a out of shape fury avoid wilders windmills

[Laligalaliga]

The Klitschko brothers basically killed heavyweight boxing in the US (Wladimir's jab and grab style especially).

Diss the man if you want, but Deontay Wilder has helped make heavyweight boxing relevant in the US again.

He should have used his relevancy to fight the klitschiko brothers. Don't you think so?
