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

Why? Every fan should be rooting for every PPV to flop so PPV goes away.




The fight is already signed. The official announcement of the date is coming imminently. It's a done deal.

Let's hope so.

[N/A]

Let's hope so.

Why do you have to hope so? Wilder, Fury, Wilder's manager and Fury's promoter have all publicly said the fight is official and they'll announce all the details in the coming week. You think they're lying?

[Scipio2009]

Doesn't really end at that though does it? Not if after the Fury fight Wilder ends up fighting Breazeale in New York for $5m. The fighter that consistently brings in money is still going to have the power over a fighter that can bring in money in the right circumstances.

It's without question that if Wilder wins Hearn is going to have to pay more, but we would still be talking that Wilder needs Joshua to earn the kind of money we're talking here (save potentially a rematch with Fury) and thus he's still going to get the shorter end of the stick.

Of course it could soon enough be that fans get tired of watching Joshua win all the time and put their money where their mouths are to limit his earnings until he faces off against Wilder.

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.

What does that have to do with finances?

That's what he's doing right now. You can't be that dense.
This isn't like the flipping burger jobs you've had. The entertainment biz, and specifically boxing, is about synergy. It's the same reason May and Pac could generate FAR FAR more together than with anyone else. If you need further education you just let me know. K?

I keep hearing this May and pac argument but you guys seem to either be forgetting or completely ignoring the fact that BOTH may and pac were proven ppv sellers before the fight. Both may and pac were generating healthy paydays for themselves without big name opponents. Only one of wilder and Joshua are doing that. When wilder can make $15 million dollars against a takam level opponent then we can start talking 50/50 splits and a flat fee rate quadruple the amount of your highest payday being “disrespectful”

[Scipio2009]

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

4.4m homes tuned in to watch Mayweather-McGregor, to watch the spectacle but also because all of the **** talk captured the imagination with the paying public.

Tyson Fury has the gift of gab, Wilder has the gift of gab, and they'll talk more folks into paying for the event than folks think.

You're going to see the rise/fall/rebirth of the Gypsy King, you're going to hear about the Traveller lifestyle, you're going to see talk of the winner of the fight having a claim to the lineal title, you're going to get profiles of Fury's family and Wilder's family, you're going to see Wilder knocking folks dead, and you may see one clip of Fury slipping punches and looking slick.

The actual fight won't really matter, but you're kidding yourself if don't think that Brits won't stay up to see one of their own, set off to try and be great again. It's likely not going to be the 1.6m homes that tuned in for Joshua-Klitschko, but it should draw well if they push the stories

[Shadoww702]

Alot of guys have an agenda...And already know that...especially after Manny made x10 the amount Floyd offered with that flat fee BS.

The biggest fight in boxing why the fvk would he accept a flat fee...Disrespectful asf.

He wouldnt. No way does a guy from New Zealand get one and Wilder doesnt.

Jacobs got a % from GGG. GGG got a HUGE % from Oscar. This is how ppv fights go. They split it everyone knows this.

[Scipio2009]

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

Deontay Wilder won the WBC title January 2015.

Klitschko instead chose to fight Bryant Jennings, before getting beat by Tyson Fury.

Further, the Jennings fight was already agreed to before Wilder even won his title.

You might be right . I personally don’t think it’s gonna sell big numbers over here . If they do one of them hbo type documentarys on both guys lives it may get going in the states I don’t know .

I will pay for it no doubt but the average fan isn’t gonna stay up late to watch fury stink out the place no matter how much sheet he spouts in the build up

[Jsmooth9876]

I'll show them, I'll go fight for 5 million instead.
