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

[AdonisCreed]

I think Wilder will accept a little less than 50% for a AJ fight he's just talking. He'll be negotiating with ESPN and DAZN after the Brezeale fight. I think all he's doing is trying to persuade ESPN and DAZN to pay him more money when they start back with negotiations. People take a comment and run with it.

So the latest excuse for wilder ducking, is that his fragile feelings are hurt? looool

[AdonisCreed]

However if this statement isn't about negotiating with ESPN and DAZN then the top 3 HW's are full of it. If Fury doesn't want to rematch Wilder and Wilder wants 50% from AJ and AJ keeps sending low ball offers then the best fans can hope for is that the belts change hands with a few upsets lol haha Sort of like pressing the reset button on the Heavyweight Division and starting over. It seems like all three guys are now in a good spot financially and don't have to take risky fights anymore which is bad for boxing fans smh

Wilder has talked about wanting to kill a man in the ring and looking a young boy in the eye as he cripples his father. He has jumped a man who is out with his family too.

He is scum.

Wilder is a genuine good guy. All that stuff that comes out of his mouth is forced, cringey, pantomime BS. Every real interview he has ever done shows a really genuine, likeable man. He wants to come across like a monster but nobody buys it.

he doesn't want anything, what he wants is to get to 49 - 0 and fight Pacquaio on PPV

I thought he was already offered 40m? But he seems to be more interested in what Joshua is making.

I didn't know about that clause with DAZN, but I guess it makes sense as they'd want to fight Brezeale in a unification bout rather than Wilder with nothing to offer. To be honest, barring some disaster I don't think anyone is realistically thinking Wilder will lose, I'd say the money is in the bag.

I mean rather than making demands like 50/50, he could try to be clever in his negotiations and make an offer of 40-60 no strings attached or 50/50 if the want strings attached, that will make him seem more flexible to the public, but will give Hearn a difficult choice. He needs to learn to play the game to get what he wants.

He doesnt want anything, what he really wants is to get to 49 - 0 and fight pacquiao on showtime PPV

Wilder should change his self proclaimed status from "baddest man on the planet" to "passive-est, aggresive-est man on the planet" Instead of directly kicking over the AJ applecart for Hearn and denying him future paydays, he's letting the carry on without him but earning a bit less. Way to stick it too them Wilder.

This guy aint fooling anyone they ain't ready yet and never was. That's why they offered a secretive 50 mil which was unacceptapble and never managed to actually accept the deal they said they did.

This is my view also.

I really don't think Wilder wants this fight in the near future.

He don't come across as monster or scary. Only his punches are scary.
He's coming across as a diva with his demands. The only way he can convince people he wants fight is to accept 40%

Although a great fight with Tyson it's clear he lost.So in some ways his stock diminished but Joshua and Hearn don't help by fighting no hope Miller so ..........may be there's some sense here.
