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

[Toffee]

So you're all adamant that Joshua doesn't want the fight because he's offered a flat fee.

Surely this is how negotiations work? You make an offer below what you would take, and you see what the counter offer is. Then you start negotiating.

I haven't heard any news of a counter offer. Does Wilder want the fight?

[Fabes88]

nah, that is ridiculous excuse-making

in the adult world, this is whats up.....




let me prove it.....

bend over, so I can give you one..... for $200

come on man, that is more than you will make today

right..... ?

you guys need to stop with the silly excuses..... either that or bend over, either one

Lol what? Firstly no I made more money than that today secondly it’s not the same.

Finally I’m not against a % split and one has been offered so I don’t know why this old flat fee offer is being discussed I’m just annoyed by those who act like it was a disgusting amount even though it was more than his fight against fury which a lot of people called a success. The offer couldn’t be that bad can it.

Haha, fat Dan doesn't count. You need a quote from AJ or Parker's team not from some journo who has nothing to do with the fight.

plss off

it was WELL-documented

you clearly have no idea what you are talking about, so why comment?

you would think the "best of the division" would fight more than twice a year!?

ppvs take a long time to promote. you also last a lot longer taking 2 fights a year over three. bunch of reasons why people don't fight 3 x a year when they get to the very top of the sport. usually only see guys with management who realize that they have a short window, and who are on the fringe of ppv, like golovkin. also you see it with small guys, who are just too little for ppv. roman gonzalez made a lot of money for a little guy fighting on hbo every 4-5 months

Wilder don't deserve ****. He has talked **** and not fought anybody for years. And they are supposed to reward him for that? Hell no. He brings nothing but a belt that he devalued by fighting bums for years while they protected him.

Wrong.

Wilder just fought Luis Ortiz and Tyson Fury back to back. And headlined a US PPV show that got good numbers.

So whatever split Joseph Parker got...Wilder merits a much higher one.

The current offer wilder has is a split

He is still refusing

link..... ?

or is it only Wilder fans who need to supply links ?

it was a disgusting amount..... and you are using that disgusting amount as a lame excuse

Nobody has disclosed it

But if it was a bad offer team wilder would have made sure like last time when they kept crying on Twitter

They are quiet for a reason and claiming Joshua is begging to kill the fight by annoying him to the point he walks away

Imagine if a fighter told mayweather he was begging to fight, Floyd would have walked away

And yes Joshua vs wilder is like Floyd vs berto no matter how much you try to deny it

Wilder won’t fight Joshua, he wants to keep his gifts

[aboutfkntime]

Wow you have the Parker contract that was never released can we all see it ............ place a link here please ...

Its kinda weird only Wilder fans seems to have a copy of this contract.

... what was actually said was from Higgins who reckoned it equated to 30-35% of the revenue and was not a straight split and could have been a flat fee, there was no definition of what parts of the revenue either, its been suggested AJ took the UK ppv and Parker the NZ similar to how the Fury Wilder was suggested it worked ...

Warren/Wilder said the Fury / Wilder split was 50:50 but the purses are on public record now and not surprisingly he lied.

.. but as you obviously have the contract Parker/AJ post it here otherwise I'll say Parker got 10% .... see making up figures is easy.

plss off noddy

the purse was WELL-documented

you are clearly just an excuse-making casual-fan, because EVERYONE who was interested in that fight knows that it nearly fell over, and that the split was negotiated in the 11th hour

[aboutfkntime]

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

one of them just questioned Parkers split, as he ignored this admission from Hearn.....

" At the moment I think a split of 65-35 in AJ’s favor is fair "

I give up

no, wait..... I don't
