Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Rematch: Purse Bid Set For February 5, 60-40 Split

[Bonduu]

60-40??? Yet Warren yaps about 50-50 or no fight, if AJ says no, they run to the media shouting AJ ducked.

The fact is that all this fighters, Wilder, Fury, Whyte, Miller etc think they are entitled to a bigger slice of the pie while in reality they are shlt, imagine Wilder having his first PPV after 40 fights! Let that sink in and it was all due to him stepping up to fight Fury, else it is free tv while he earns 1.5m.

AJ is the biggest draw so he gets mentioned all the time, he offers much more money and 4belts, if I was Fury or Wilder and I am confident in my ability, I would receive what they ignorantly called a low ball offer and fight AJ! A chance at history baby! Bring it on! Wilder is a tool for rematching Fury, hope he loses so his value drops then He would be begging Hearn for left over fights like Chisora or Price!

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.

This is the wbc offer for a purse bid not Haymons offer. If Joshua were to fight Wilder just for the WBC title he’d receive the same thing smh. Are you new to boxing?

[Chrismart]

Warren should hold out for a 50/50, like he said was the lowest he'd take yesterday about Joshua.

I do think Fury deserves the immediate rematch though after those scorecards.

If Ortiz had of beaten Whyte for the talked up '2nd mandatory spot' after Breazeale, there's a good job he would of been in the old people's home by the time the mandatory shot came around.

[Robbie Barrett]

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.

If Whyte fought the eliminator he might have got a shot by 2030

For the Aj nuthuggers or those who struggle with reading comprehension:

The article clearly states they can have OPEN NEGOTIATIONS up until February 5th. Once that date hits, THEN it goes to a purse bid with the split being 60/40 in favor if Wilder.

If Fury still wants to fight Wilder than I'm sure they come closer to a 50/50 split than the 60/40 the Wbc will allow.

F------ morons....

[Bronx2245]

Get it done! I think Fury deserves at least 45%, but just make it happen!

[Robbie Barrett]

Fury will get 50/50 imo. Wilders team won't want it to go to purse bid which will allow BT sport or Sky the chance to snatch up the fight. You know they want those corrupt judges in America.

[Duckweather]

Warren will not like this.

[EnglishOxide]

Warren will not like this.

Maybe he will realise how dirty Shelly and Haymon are, but I doubt it. He seems to have turned a blind eye to them robbing Tyson first time round.

[Robbie Barrett]

Warren will not like this.

How does this hurt Warren or Fury? This gives them leverage. Wilder can't run away from negotiations saying they asking for too much now.
