Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Wilder Does Over 1 Million PPV Buys in America

[kafkod]

Nice to hear from you, Eddie. Or is that Frank Smith?

The $50M was guaranteed. Eddie knows that and AJ knows that. It had nothing to do with BT Sport or Frank Warren. He had no part of the deal.

In fact, the contract that Wilder sent to AJ said the fight would be on SKY PPV in the UK - so everything you're spouting is just Hearn excuses and misinformation.

Frank Warren said himself that BT were funding the offer and they were funding it because they wanted to screen the fight themselves.

Why would he lie about that?

[KTFOKING]

By all accounts?

Mmmm .... no.

I'll just repeat what I said at the start of the convo .. I'm sure that whatever Haymon and ST would pay for an undisputed fight between AJ and Wilder, Matchroom and DAZN would pay more.

I don't think even Wilder would be dumb enough to turn down the kind of money he would be looking at here.

And I'm also sure that if Hearn is offering him 60/40 to fight AJ before rematching Fury - which he is - them beating Fury would get Wilder the 50/50 split he's been asking for.

Of course he will get an even split if he beats Fury, and same goes for Fury if he beats Wilder. Barry Hearn pretty much confirmed that already that the winner of the rematch probably deserves a 50/50 split against Joshua.

And yes, by all accounts. Just wait until the Forbes list comes out in August. I've already posted articles in other threads on the money both fighters made in the rematch.

We could revisit this after the Wilder/Fury rematch, if Wilder is to win. And then we shall see where the fight takes place at.

So why didn't DAZN match Showtime/Haymon's $50M offer????

DAZN have first refusal on Hearn's shows, not Haymon's.

Eddie trying to promote AJ on the back of Wilder and Fury name smh...

LOL, if you think it will be that easy I have some bad news for you.

Wilder's side isn't going to just agree to have the fight on DAZN. So should Wilder now sign an official deal with SHO so he could say the fight only happens on SHO because I'm obligated to fight on that network?

Canelo made over 40M in the first GGG fight, Joshua isn't getting that for Miller.

By all accounts, it seems like Canelo-GGG for the rematch were both paid over 40M, or close to it in regards to GGG and closer to 50M for Canelo, then Wilder-Joshua may be even more lucrative than that when you add in how much it will do in UK PPVs. If it happens in the US, I don't see it happening anywhere but SHO PPV.

you have not a clue what you are on about. wilder is NOWHERE equal to that of capability to generate Joshua money so why are you comparing 2 other fighters who are more equal ?

Wilder is about a fraction of net worth or generated worth to Joshua and that's being generous. Wilder HAs to accept anything that's thrown his way ,he makes 2 million a fight without the other top 2 guys. And do you really think Wilder and his team will cry about DAZN if they are guaranteed a certain amount instead of guessing like with the fury fight which did NOT do what they expected because both Fury and Wilder are huge legends in their own minds that are A sides???????????

At the end of the day they BOTH need Joshua ,no amount of crying on the forum changes that and in fact their careers will look watered down without him, win or lose , they have a shorter shelf life and Fury hasn't even defended a title yet,you guys need to lay off the crack.....

Who has Wilder beat to be included alongside Joshua and Fury? He already lost to one of them. People keep trying to push Wilder up to be in contention for the top spot and he simply isn't. He's alongside Whyte, Povetkin etc a step below. Wilder never attempted to make any unification fights stop lying. The only reason this nonsense is happening is because he's American, there'd be no hype around the joke if he wasn't.

He was calling out Parker when H. Fury withdrew from their fight,offered to step in. Instead Parker ended up fighting and going 12 rounds with a guy Ortiz KOd 2. Lets be real you say there's no hype around Wilder? Nobody cares about AJ here in the US. Hearn believes AJ is some global star but we all know he wouldn't attempt to put AJ on US PPV. Hearn would look like a fool especially after trying to down play Wilder/Fury PPV numbers. Hearn is going to put AJs fight within 30 days of Canelo's fight and ride his coat tails knowing its Canelo who will be bringing in the DAZN subscriptions. Most UK fighters grab a belt fighting domestic level fighters and once they step up to real competition they end up losing. Brook, Campbell, Crolla, Liam Smith, Liam Walsh, Degeale,Fla*****n,Hatton Quigg Groves, Burns etc. the list goes on. We'll see if AJ ends up like them?

It's bizarre how against AJ you are. Seems to consume a part of your life, at the very least.

Eddie trying to promote AJ on the back of Wilder and Fury name smh...

Yep taking a page off team Wilder finally, except they aren't doing it to overshadow the fighter ( that's automatically done ) they are doing it to inform the American public Joshua is here and if anything the Joshua fight will promote the Wilder one not vice versa ,because Wilder cant keep Joshuas name out of his mouth and has already started when miller is confirmed. lol


O.k carry on fool ii need some comedy today and you fit that bill.

I said Wilder is only getting hype because he's American.

You want to start insulting countries? The divisions of kings is HW. The HW #1 is the king of boxing. The US hasn't had a #1 for a VERY long time. The UK has had 3 since the US last had 1. 3 of the top 4 rated fighters right now are from the UK. This is why you're all in on Wilder even though you know Fury beat him, you're willing ignore it and carry on with your BS. Desperate to finally be back on top.
