So Frank Warren wants 50-50 against the biggest star in boxing, 50-50 against a guy who makes more money than Fury and Wilder made combined in their fight, but they only get 40% against a Wilder who is not a star and or PPV attraction by himself.. hmm.

See Fury he got 8mil to fight Wilder in his home country and got robbed!! Even if AJ offers him 30% Fury will make 15 to 20mil at least!! But Frank calls that offer “derisory” and goes to fight Wilder for 40% and probs get 10mil.

"50-50 split for anyone that fights AJ doe!"

Edit: Yes I know no one has mentioned AJ before anyone says it.

60/40 split? But Frank Warren said yesterday that he and Fury wouldn’t accept anything other than 50/50 for a Joshua fight. Which would generate more money in the first place and give Fury more belts.

Anyway just get the Fury/Wilder rematch done.

Warren better get his red flag out and remind the WBC his guy only fights for 50% now.

Haha it is kind of funny that Fury's been demanding a 50-50 split.

I don't think it was 50-50 for the first match though.

Strange they've ordered a voluntary when Breazeale is mandatory.

But Frank can't accept less than 50% after all his AJ talk. That would be embarrassing.

Wilder was not the “massive favorite coming in.” He wasn’t even a 2-1 favorite.

In before Hearn declares that the fight is not happening like last time.

[Reverb]

Hang out for 50/50, get 60/40 minimum guaranteed. WBC did Warren a favour there.
