Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Backs Split, Not Flat Fee, For Joshua-Wilder Fight

[KingKrypton]

If Joseph Parker can receive 33% there is no reason why Wilder can't receive at least 40%.

[thack]

I have been saying for MONTHS that 35% is the OBVIOUS number to get that fight made

1) Parker got paid 32.5%
2) it was debatable whether Wilder was worth 40%
3) it was obvious that Wilder would accept 35%.....

..... so, why didn't they offer Wilder 35%.....?

then recently, even Fast Eddie slipped up and admitted that fact.....

wtf ???

they could have EASILY made that fight by now

now Wilder will want 40%, because now he is probably worth 40%

Joshua will fight Dillian Whyte lol

As most times, your post is spot on.......but try getting the muppets to see straight!

Yeah LL is right, offer Wilder 30%, he's just about worth that.

What makes you think Parker got 33%? 1 quote will do.

You guys are ****** what perecentage of the pot do you think 28 million is? Probably about 35-40 percent of the pot right? Dependant on how many buy the fight. Where do you guys think the £28 mill is coming from? ****** ****s if this fight makes £80 mill which is probably an over estimation what percentage is a guaranteed £28 mill? That’s right dummies do the math it’s 35% ****os not sure why people just quote the numbers without using common sense

Why are you dummy’s ignoring this? Gospel? Is it beyond your limited comprehension

Wilder is not a scrub you can offer peanuts to fight.

He is an undefeated champion and should garner a fair percentage split, just as the champ Lennox Lewis is stating.

Not that I need to state the obvious, a fight with AJ is far greater economically than fighting Fury.

So, you're saying in the biggest fight of his life being a pro for 10 years and multiple world title defences he got paid peanuts? I think he needs a new promoter in that case.

Start at 30%, but if needed split the difference and offer Wilder 35% to fight at Wembley in April. 1 UK judge, 1 US judge, 1 neutral. Ref's nationality shouldn't be an issue as long as he's one of the best available and not some random clown like that Italian from the Joshua-Parker fight. Make it a 2 fight deal if required to get signatures, with the winner of 1st fight getting lions share of the rematch fund - with NY a possible location for it.

You mention Wilder and AJ starts rambling.. Reporter: How are you AJ? AJ: Im good mate, Reporter: big baby miller wants a showdown with you in brooklyn, AJ: oh yeah, tell em to bring it. I will beat him in his backyard, Reporter: whyte wants some of that action also.. AJ: He's earned his rematch, we can do it again, no problem, Reporter: And of course we have Deontay Wilder, AJ: ya see, there are facts and business, and inside of all of that, I understand what needs to be done for the heavyweight division.. keep in mind, that when I beat klitschko, we did huge numbers and the follers in twitter and youtube went viral. So what im about, is unification.. and Wilder needs to understand that I'm the ASide and we have mandatories first of all.. i will fight him on my terms, i have four belts, wilder has only one... AJ's manfans: yea, Wilders a bum. Ignore him, we don't need tbe wbc green belt, its fake anyways.. Reporter: ...wtf.

Wilder made 4 million against Fury. So 4 million is acceptable to face Fury but 27-30 million to face Joshua is ludacris... What planet is this man living on?

Seriously, Wilder/Fury did 350K PPVs which means neither one of them are PPV draws. Wilder doesn’t want the fight or he doesn’t think he can win. It’s that simple. Pride and Entitlement are motherfu%ers.

Wilder won’t be getting 40% of anything because he’s going to LOSE AGAIN to Fury and become irrelevant.
