This Is Why You Turn Down A 15M Flat Fee

[koolkc107]

Guaranteed purses and split are two entirely different things.

This is true.

But there is more to it.

The analogy is like realtors working on developing properties.

Say you are a realtor that makes about 100K a year.

You know another guy that makes about 500K a year.

There's a project that means a possible 1.7 million in net.

It takes both of you to do it.

He says to you, if we do this you get 300K, it's 3 times your best salary.

But, that means he gets 1.4 million, which is almost 3 times his as well.

Would any of you accept such a split, knowing you are needed just as much to make the 1.7 million? Knowing he cannot possibly pull of that deal without you?

I wouldn't.

Especially when there is another guy in the office just like me who can also eventually get me a deal like that.

Yeah, we may do a smaller deal at first, but the second one me and the other guy will do might be every bit as big as the deal the first guy offered.

And I get treated better with the second guy.

That's the situation Hearn created.

His lowballing has been a blessing in disguise tho.

We are getting good fights in division.

And we may still get the mega showdown everyone wants to see.

He turned down 15 mil to make 7 and lost the damn fight. It was a ******ed decision, if not for the robbery it would have been one of the biggest fails in boxing history.

Now it is you mixing currency.

Hearn offered 15M dollars.

Wilder made 12M dollars at least if the 57/43 ratio holds up.

He has a shot at much more in the rematch...with AJ still out there if he gets past Fury.

And, you can bet a fall fight with AJ will be for much more than a flat 15M or even 60/40, depending on how impressive he is in the rematch.

So, maybe not such a bad decision after all.

We will see.

The guarantees have nothing to do with the split. Warren said the split was 50/50, not 57/43. Stop making **** up.

Wilder should have a L. It was a dumb decision.

You're reaching and trying to defend this because you know it was a dumb decision.

No, actually a draw or a decision either way would have been fine.

Fury could easily have lost that fight on the cards.

We will see how much of a reach it is when the fight is finally made, if Hearn wants to make a decent offer now.

My guess is that after the Miller fight, he will.

Found this little gem today, dated for 3 days ago.

We know Wilder made a little more than Fury.

The guarantees were 4M for Wilder and 3M for Fury.

Well, if those proportions were consistent in the pay-out, then Wilder made 17.3M to Fury's 13M.

But, even at 50/50, it's clear both men made a lot more than just 7M.

The thing is it all depends on how much negotiating juice you got. You may be in a position to hold out till the fight blows up and is 10 times bigger, but it gos the other way too your clock could be ticking and the more fights you keep taking your just exposing all your weaknesses inside the ring. Like Fury exposed a lot in Wilder and this gives Joshua more stuff to work on
