Comments Thread For: Wilder: I'll Repeat, Only Way Joshua Fight Happens is 50-50 Split!

[5000boxing]

He was chasing the fight last year. There's no doubt about that. Offering 50 when it meant possibly making very little. Accepting 15 flat to go to the UK. He did everything possible. Clearly he's butt hurt about Hearn trying to swerve him. So yes, he's no longer chasing the fight. He chased and chased and chased and it didn't work. At some point he had to stop being a punk and move on with his life. Now they're chasing him.

Only issue is that they want both fights on DAZN. That's gonna cost them 50/50.

I'm sure he'd take 60/40 on Showtime PPV though.

Exactly! People don't understand how hearn *** da man over and wasted his time.. now they gotta pay 50/50 if they want to make the man fight on Dazn twice! Eddie is suck a piece of Shyte.. an all the AJ manfans know that Wilder is dangerous and fears him. So they act like they are getting a cut. And argue for Eddie.. but if they had honor.. they would understand AJ vs Wilder should be a 50/50 fight, it takes 2 to tango.. both men are taking risks.. but if they want location, platform and a shot at the wbc belt for undisputed, 50/50 is reasonable.. and they both would make career high paydays together!

Lmao! Seriously dude.. Wilder knows AJ will not fight him twice... so he wants everything up front!

More like Wilder don't wanna fight AJ at all ,hence the Ducking overpricing himself and losing his pen. He knows AJ won't accept 50/50. DO you actually think Wilder would accept 50/50 if the roles with AJ were reversed' would he ****. If Wilder says he would then he would be lying and then it would be a case of "Its easy saying that now that the roles aren't reversed but if you were then you wouldn't "

Delusional, embarrassing basically pricing himself out. Let's see Joshua has more belts, is more popular, jas more fans and bring more money to the table. Joshua making 30M fighting Miller. Wilder career high was about 7M and he needed Fury just to get that, before that his career high payday was just 1.9M Without either Fury or Joshua he ain't even seeing 10M paydays. Those guys with guaranteed contracts making huge money without him. He was offered 20M for the opponent he has to fight anyway and then guaranteed Joshua next for 40M and guaranteed a rematch clause to get another Joshua fight if he loses for another 40M payday. Now he is making less then 20M and talking 50/50 nonsense.

Asking for 50/50 when you don't bring half the money to the table and Joshua has all the belts he's the A side and I'm looking at Ring and ESPN rankings and Wilder is behind Joshua in all of them. Joshua/Miller is already tracking to produce a bigger live gate and higher attendance then Wilder/Breazele and Wilder is the one from the US not Joshua. And I'm not even bringing up the fact that most fans feel Fury beat him. It's one thing to say well you are the more popular but I got all the belts and I'm higher ranked. It's another to say screw belts I draw more fans and already make more money then you I am the A side regardless of belts. But it's just cringe worthy to hear him talk like this when every tangible thing says Joshua bring more to the table. GGG had 3 belts, number 1 ranked in division, P4P and still the best GGG could get for the first fight with Canelo was 30% lol

I like your analysis. Well done! Wilder forgot that it is possible to stay loyal and still take 120M from Dazn .You are not firing your management and Sho(involve them in the promotion), just cut them a cheque.Everybody wins, my bro Wilder lacks sometimes imagination.

**** you dumbass, I couldn't care less about what you think of me as a person. Stevenson got what he deserved as an ex pimp and drug dealer. He was the worst. And he ended up just like he should have.

Hey, these guys put themselves on the line. Blessings to him and his family. Adonis will always be the real SUPERMAN in my book!

All you just said doesn't make sense if wilder isn't scared also he should sign and get the 120m$ so acting dumb

Exactly! People don't understand how hearn *** da man over and wasted his time.. now they gotta pay 50/50 if they want to make the man fight on Dazn twice!

I dgaf how butt hurt I am. If someone wants to pay me 100 m's I'll take it. Wilder is soft af mentally outside of the ring.

exactly...this is an angle that AJ fanbois choose to ignore....eddie jerked around wilder and his people..and insulted them

it was similar to what arum did with pac in the early years of the floyd/pac feud....after some time floyd said "fugg it..im not chasing them anymore...they can come to me when they ready to get serious".....but pac fans tried to run with it and call it "ducking"...it wasnt...it was refusing to negotiate, or enter pretend negotiations, with a boob like arum....hearn isnt much different in what hes done so far from the way bob acted....

obviously floyd was an a-side and wilder really isnt....but it still very similar...you can only play with the other side so much before they say "fugg it...come find me when youre serious"

[Jax teller]

Per Wilder's comments, this is what happens when you humiliate someone trying to simply and honestly make a fight. Wilder & Co. were totally disrespected and clowned during the INITIAL negotiations ... and TOLD what they were worth. Well, they have a different opinion, and are playing hardball now. I hope hearn is happy. I know fans aren't.

I believe the fight will be made once everyone steps back and remembers what it's worth to them and the sport. Or when someone loses and some of the "0" luster is off the fight.

If I were a champ I'd want 50/50 too. Whether that ends up being the end game .... we'll see.

LoL @ Wilder playing hardball tough! He isn't tryna cash out his self-respect like Parker did.

And while you fan-girls throw your hissy fits, ask AJ if he will take less than 50/50? I know, right? Well if you believe in yourself, and others try to throw you the shaft, this is what you get ...

You can't take the high horse and act like you got so disrespected you can't do a deal even though just before starting negotiations Wilder stated "he just another white man milking a brother" and calling him names like slavemaster during with a whole bunch of other stuff.

Goes around, comes around you cucks forget that and get upset when Hearn told Wilder his real value and Wilder hasn't proved him wrong yet.

Thats right kid, you've had twice as many fights, you deserve the HALF! This will be Posh's biggest challenge to date, let him earn this one in the ring! The Hearn devised Ken & Barbie popularity photo shoot crap is already in place! Now its down to the ski!!z AND 50/50 !!
