Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua is Brainwashed, Will Regret Not Taking $50 Million

Joshua will make that in his next two fights. How many fights will Wilder have to make after Fury to earn $15M?

Wilder's career arc is going change entirely next week when he trashes the supposed 3rd best HW in the world. He is going to make the most of this moment by calling out AJ and embarrassing him in front of the world. He will have all the leverage in the world and AJ will be forced to make a 50/50 deal or something very close to 50/50. If he doesn't, if Hearn continues with his b.s., the world, not just boxing fans, will laugh them both out of the room.

Still no, and here's why. AJ can put Wilder on ice indefinitely and still earn $20+M per fight while fighting mediocre competition. Wilder, might see a few $3 - 4M pay days fighting the same mediocre competition, unless he is willing to travel across the pond to fight Whyte for a bigger payday, which still won't be anywhere near an AJ purse.

So this becomes a situation where the A-side (AJ) remains the A-side and still commands the same 8-digit pay days in front of crowds of 80K or more. While Wilder goes back to venues of 12K with the help of a strong undercard and maybe $3M pay days.

So after Wilder/Fury, who would you rather be--AJ or Wilder? I'm talking in terms of leverage & earning potential. Don't forget, AJ has about 20 or so product endorsements he's making millions from, how many does Wilder have?

Joshua’s last offered wilder.

Two fight deal. First at wembley, second at Vegas.

Guaranteed higher of 35% or $20mil whichever is higher on first fight. Second fight higher/lower dependent on first fight outcome.

Will wilder regret it or is he ducking again, the same way he did with klitschko?

Milk cow Wildher serving his master Finkel very well. Haymon also milking poor Beyonce. It's all right, Beyonce Wildher is OK with everybody milking him beyond any mercy, war Beyonce!

[Lopez_Boxing]

Was that the reason why they didn't fight in Vegas? Seriously?

Haha no cone on man. That guy is speaking from emotion as a fan not from logic as a man

Wilder is brainwashed in believing that he is the best HW in the world by fighting 38 bums. Also Joshua unified titles twice already but Wilder claims Joshua doesn't want to unify.

I think he means he doesn't want to unify vs Wilder. Say what you want but Ortiz is no bum. Nor is Fury.

Both are better than Charles Martin and probably Joseph Parker.

Fury is clearly better than Wlad, because he beat him.

Joshua/ Wilder have very similar resumes. Period. I have no issue with someone giving Joshua the SLIGHT edge in fighting better opposition due to Povetkin, but the resumes are too close to say one is full of cans while praising the other. Plus, Wilder was scheduled to fight Povetkin but it was cancelled due to doping.

There's no way he can keep wilder on ice if he wants to continue to pull that kind of revenue. The public is going to demand he fight wilder or he will tarnish is rep and lose credibility and popularity. Because I can tell you one thing the GO doesn't care or know about revenue or percentage, they just care the fight get made. Aj needs to step up. Wilder isn't some contender, wilder a champion. And worse for aj wilder is an American. So it's going to go from AJ not making the fight happen to just plain avoiding it in the people's eyes. The British aren't going to ride for a guy that s not KOg the "yank". Thats a tougb prideful colture win or lose they will expect AJ to do his part to make the fight and prove he's the best HW

I disagree. Your logic is predicated on extrapolating the current situation for years on end, but that's not going to happen. Hearn can only protect AJ for so long (one more fight) before he has to step up. Also, the notion that Wilder is going to go back to being a $2M fighter is silly. He is going to be a boxing superstar in a week. His reputation and record will speak for themselves and, more importantly, he will be known as the guy who scares the **** out of the "other" HW champion.

Basically wilder is a f@ckin idiot....the boxer who earns 2.4 million a fight to the boxer who earns $20 million a fight.
You cannot make this up if you tried lol
Joshua earnt more with his fight against klitchcko than wilder did in all of his 7 defences .....not to mention 15 million a time when he faced off with parker and povetkin lol
Beam me up scotty
