Wilder smiles: "50/50 or no AJ fight, belts not important"

[Ray*]

Desperation ray and anything to try and save face in regards to wilder ducking and turning his back on a life changing 3 fight package.....120 million life changing

I don't know how anyone can sit there and criticise Joshua for that fake 50M BT sport offer, then turn around and try and defend or deflect Wilder turning down 120m for those fights mentioned.

The fact that he was offered 20m for Breazeale and he turned it down to make what? 5M maximum! Shows he really doesn't want those two AJ fights. No one should try and put a spin on it.

There was nothing fake about the 50 million offer and the BT excuse is nonsense. Warren never said the fight would be on BT. Showtime released a portion of the contract which stated the fight would be on Sky. Hearn at the time said the offer was legit and all of his questions had been answered. It was only months later that Hearn came up with this lame BT excuse. Dig deeper man. The BT excuse is bogus. You're an intelligent guy. You can't just take Hearn's excuses at face value.

Warren said on camera that the offer was based on BT Sports having the rights to the fight and that in Hearn's position he wouldn't have accepted. (Boxing Social YouTube). Di Bella would later corroborate this.
Frank Warren is not inclined to make excuses for Hearn

I think the fact that Hearn didn't even know about BT sport involvement shows how clueless he was, If not for Warren that came out months later and made those comments to Boxing social, we would never had known about BT sport involvements.

Hearn actually thought Haymon was the source of the money, but not able to get a meeting and sit down to discuss the offer, with Team Wilder just shows how fake the offer from Wilder email was.

[LacedUp]

It was a low ball offer, but he accepted anyway, to call Hearn's bluff. Hearn refused to honor his word about the fight being in 2018 and instead tried to bait and switch Wilder into a fight 10 months away.

So no, that's not running away. That's agreeing to one thing and the other party not holding up their end of the deal.

Once Hearn ****ed over Wilder that bad, you can't blame Wilder for not wanting to deal with him anymore unless it's 50/50.

Hearn sent him a contract instantly.

Wilder lost his pen and his balls

[W1LL]

Deontay Wilder is an embarrassment. Trying to cash out by riding the coattails of the two top fighters in the division. Let him go back to fighting palookas for $1m a pop.

[LacedUp]

Wilder just generated more PPV revenue than Joshua because Wilder's fight was PPV in both the US and UK, with US PPV being priced 3x higher than UK PPV. So the gap between what Joshua generates and what Wilder generates is starting to close. Remember, 330,000 buys at $75 is the equivalent of 1 million UK PPV buys, and that's not even counting the actual UK PPV buys for Wilder's last fight.

Yes, Joshua has three belts to Wilder's one, but Wilder has the most important belt.

I agree Wilder doesn't deserve 50/50. Yet. But he may get there before long. However, Hearn wants Wilder to come to Joshua's platform. A platform that generates less than PPV. So you can't cry duck when Hearn is insisting that Joshua not only get the lion's share, but that Wilder has to ditch his partner to fight on Joshua's platform. If Hearn wants that, it's gonna cost him 50/50.

the fight did about 75k buys in the UK

[hugh grant]

Deontay getting on my nerves. He just lost to fury, was given gift decision yet still wants 50?
Why not 60-40? Beat Josh then in rematch you get 60.
I don't like Josh being frugal also, I want him to pay opponents decent wage and 40% is fair

[Tom Cruise]

At this point in time, the fight is 50/50. This fight will take place in America and Wilder is the star here.

It definitely isn’t 50/50.

Joshua is the second biggest star in the sport. He made more revenue fighting a relative no name in Joseph Parker than Wilder did in his biggest fight vs Fury.

50/50 American money split? Maybe. Not total revenue. Joshua is the star

Please link to Warren saying this. Thanks.
