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

[Overunder]

I don't know if people are just slow or hard at hearing. The original agreement was only to secure the time frame that AJ is currently using for Povetikin. Why is it that so many people can't get that through their heads????? The deal does not remain in place at the convenience of Hearn and Joshua. By not agreeing to the requested date, that deal BECAME NULL AND VOID. Wilder is about to fight for 40+ million next so that 15 mil flat fee is off the table permanently!

Cornball Joshua has a promoter that has worked wonders for developing his commercial appeal!! The thing is, thats all it is: "commercial appeal." When a promoter is scared to death of programming his robot to get in the ring with a stick? He has created a facade....

A SHOOK ROIDED Joshua cant have his way forever. Doing photo shoots, selling T-shirts, posters, tooth paste and planning a museum can only get you so far in the "ring" when a bonafide threat wants to have a go at your skill set for your PROTECTED titles....Joshua is more than ready for more lights & cameras while Wilder wants that real legacy "action".....Hearn wants more steady money, or should I say, he wants to go steady with money

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.

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.

Not many people in the U.K. are gonna stay up till 4.30 to watch a out of shape fury avoid wilders windmills

Let alone pay £20. I Wonder what they will put on the card. Probably Yarde and Dubois

You didn't need to write a text book to make no sense.
You can do better than that.

Thanks for the compliment! Your fan-girl response is Joshy-licious!! Golly gee, I hope you get there early for his autograph signing!!

People giving AJ abuse, won't realise that Wilder will probably make 5-8m against Fury.

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.

Ok Einstein so tell us how much can Wilder generate for a specific event? Let’s breakdown what you saying .

Wilder vs Ortiz in my opinion a fantastic match up ,two undefeated supossed boogeymen of the division unquestionably Wilder’s most competitive match . How much did both of them generate for that specific event? Unfortunately in business you are not paid according to how dangerous or how hard you can punch. Without question Wilder is charismatic, dangerous etc etc but as far as what he generates for a specific event his figures are moderate. Yes nearly 1 million people watch him on showtime for free but as far as PPV goes he is a unknown quantity.

Now as far as the flat fee goes because I have no financial alliance to either fighter it is wrong .Do I blame them as the A side for trying ..... No, Mayweather tried that same stunt. The mistake Hearn and Joshua made was making him a flat fee offer. Even if the percentage offer worked out to be 15 million or thereabouts so be it. However, Mr Foxx tell me based on your extensive Business acumen how did Wilder warrant 40% based on what he generates for a specific fight? I’m not saying you are wrong but justify what you are spewing.

[Andre_parker1]

how much you earn in your last fight.. 2million?..that's almost 8x the amount u earned against Ortiz

[Noelanthony]

Thanks for the compliment! Your fan-girl response is Joshy-licious!! Golly gee, I hope you get there early for his autograph signing!!

Autograph signing when and where??? Not that I would go but it’s good to know incase I’m within 50 miles of the location and I can pop by

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 !
