Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder-Fury Does 1 Million+ Buys, I'll Give Wilder 50-50

[Laligalaliga]

The number of paper titles a fighter has,has nothing to do with what split they deserve. ONLY how much sales they bring as well as how much respect the A-side wants to earn by beating them. So If that bum Parker got 35%+ then Wilder definitely deserves 40-45%(yes AJ should get 55-60% imho), esp. if Wilder beats Fury, considering Parker was a paper champ who had to rob a CW nobody to win his title.

So why has your champ not been on ppvyafter 40 fights? At least Parker had ppv records prior to AJ's fight?

"My champ"?? Damn you tea sippers sure are salty. Reread what I wrote & then realize that nowhere did I say anything that would lead to your response.

So winning the lineal championship belt plus having the WBC only makes Wilder 2% a better offer than a short timer?

The new PPV buys thing is just another roadblock. Sick of his lies and his dumb ass trolls eating it up and spewing it back out.

You expect Hearn to negotiate the deal by himself. Wilders not done anything but offer the 50 mil and say 50% or nothing but takes no blame for not making the fight happen.

There's no lineal BELT but whether Fury has the title it or not is a matter of opinion only favoured by Wilder and Furys team to sell the fight as more than what it is. Since Fury retired and got a back dated ban for PEDs many say he isn't the lineal champ. Also I read if Lennox comeback and fought AJ it wouldn't be considered a unification so why is Fury?

Pretty sure Joshua sold nearly 1,5 million against Parker

You're right, and I don't think AJ's figures have dropped below 1 million buys since turning PPV; the lowest being against a last minute replacement in Takam. Povetkin fight was around 1.3 million I think and Klitschko fight did over 1.7 million.

Swerve then and move on.

If titles mean nothing then AJ earnt around 20 mil for his last fight, I'll round Wilders earnings up to 3 mil. That's 15% of what AJ earns so give Wilder a 15% split right?

Obviously not because Wilders got a Title how much do you think Parker would have got paid if he didn't have the title? Don't be dumb and say titles don't mean anything just because Wilders only made the effort to get one and face weak opposition instead of unifying.

Lmao! Aj sells nowhere NEAR 1 mil ppv,not to mention the uk ppv are like 10-20$.

LMAO !!!!

AJ hasn't done less than a million UK ppvs in ages, Parker was about 1.3 in the UK. What the world wise ppvs were I'm not sure? I know the New Zealand the ppvs were more for instance and I don't know the numbers other territories not sure ? In the rest of the world they also do cable / free to air deals which bring in more revenue (some of the TV ratings from those territories are amazing).
The guy is a money making machine.

UK ppvs for Joshua are about 27$ (varies with exchange rate and HD). which looks really high now teh US has DAZN.

If Wilder-Fury does 1M buys, Wilder won't need Joshua.

Another AJ fanboi who lacks reading comprehension. I said it ALSO matters how much the a-side needs that opponent for his legacy & how much money said fighter brings to the fight; Wilder deserves more than Parker because if he beats Fury it would both greatly enhance AJ's legacy(his reps in tatters due to ducking 50 mil) & because most importantly it would be by far the biggest fight AJ can make as well as the fact that Wilder beating Fury would make this fight much bigger $$ wise,& it would instantly make AJ the HW cashcow for yrs to come,as well as an atg as being considered the best of his era.

Regardless of semantics,Parker was a fckin bum who lost to a CW ruiz,& he was given more than 35%,in what world would a victorious over Fury, Wilder be worth less than Parker?
