Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder's PPV Does Bad, He Has Zero Bargaining Position!

[Boksfan]

How about do the fight as 50-50, and whoever wins gets 75-25 for the rematch. If that doesn't work, how about offer winner take all. See who really wants it.

Honestly, if Wilder beats Fury and adds the lineal champion title in addition to WBC, I think he is worth more than 35%. Parker got 33%. At least sweeten the deal to 60/40 in Joshua's favor. Flat fees are deal breakers for unification fights and everyone knows it. If Wilder vs Fury does 1 million plus buys, Hearn said they would consider 50/50. If they were smart, they would offer a $20 PPV price like they do in the UK. One million buys easy.

Grow up and stop talking crap.

You are the typical ameican dummy. Why do you think Floyd has never done 50/50 or winner takes all fights? Use your brain goddamnit.

I'll type slow so you can understand dip****.

I was responding to Noelanthony's question of what can Joshua do to convince people he really wants the fight. I offered suggestions, 50/50, which Hearn said he may do depending on the PPV sales. I suggested winner take all, which is out there, but would definitely show he is serious and wants it 100%. Notice I didn't even mention accepting a guaranteed $50 million. Joshua and Hearn have been doing damage control ever since ducking that offer.

I then said honestly, offer a fair % instead of a deal killing flat fee. Hearn basing PPV sales on the % he might offer is idiotic. Like I said, if it is a low enough PPV price it will sell BIG, and easily make 1 million buys. It won't make a $100 PPV price like Floyd vs Pac, but Hearn didn't mention the money it brings in. If he was smart, he wouldn't base it on PPV sales, he would base it on how much money the fight generated. Wilder and Fury should offer it to the public at 5 or 10$ PPV price, and get 3 million PPV buys. PPV buys are all different, and it is the money that is important, not the buys.

Every article is Hearn talking about Wilder.

How many PPV buys does Joshua average again?!

Oh yeah, Wilder is the one making $20-30 mil per fight. You're 100% right

It's so obvious he setting up ***** whyte vs AJ fight. Hearn will then blame wilder for AJ having to fight b grade Whyte again, when everyone complains about this garbage matchup

Hearn = Predictable .... For those with at least one eye open.

The winner takes all even for Wilder would be very risky. They are heavyweights and anything can happen. You will probably get a fight where nobody throws in case of getting countered.

AJ vs Wilder is a toss up I can reason with anyone that backs either fighter.

I agree with everything else you said

[Illmatic94]

If this miraculously does 1M PPV buys while priced $65+ Wilder deserves a bigger split than AJ.

We have ALL the bargaining power in the WORLD!

AJ's own fans voted WILDER on Twitter poll.

Deontay holds the prestigious WBC belt.

The lineal torch is about to be passed.

All roads lead to The Bronze Bomber.

How many PPV has Wilder sold? Whatever number it is, multiply it by 300 million and it won’t even beat a young amateur starting out
