good for joshua "making fantastic money already"

let him keep making that money fighting povetkins and millers and see what the press says about him

DAZN pay flat fees, there is no split. Joshua isn't even signed to DAZN. So how they going to pressure him for a 50/50 split?

Without being offensive, I think you should really take a few minutes away from this forum to go out and read up a bit on how this DAZN/Matchroom arrangement works. Matchroom is spending a billion dollars of DAZN's money. DAZN is running this show and their investment is not primarily focused on making Eddie and his fighters wealthy. AJ is going to get paid his best purse ever to fight AJ and Fury, and those fights are going to be among the handful of fights that keep DAZN in business in the early going, so no way is DAZN going to sit back and let those fights go to hell over minor percentage squabbles between the fighters' camps. DAZN cannot tell Wilder what to do, but they sure as hell can tell Eddie and AJ what they're going to do.

So deflect the question of why they lowering the prices gotcha.... hbo brass came out and said it wasn’t ppv worthy but because of purses they had no choice but to put it on ppv.... back to your ticket sells bs you on he fighting miller who from nyc and they fight is struggling to sells tickets which is why they dropping prices 3months out from fight happening

So Wilder-Fury wouldn't be PPV worthy either, it sold the same as Canelo-Smith.

Miller can't sell tickets, it's all Joshua. Where does it say tickets prices are being dropped?

They're 3x the price of Wilders. Joshua drawing a bigger gate than Wilder is going to be very embarrassing, i'll be sure to make a thread about it.

Joshua is making fantastic money already. You act like he's in Wilders position. If Wilder wants to turn down massive money then **** him, Joshua shouldn't bend to a crazy guy.

I don’t really care what either of them make to be honest with you homie. Just giving you an example that being the bigger draw doesn’t always entitle you to 75%+ of the purse. As long as AJ has people like yourself that are willing to shell out dough to watch him fight cans. He probably should shun Wilder. But in my two decades-plus experience as a fight fan. He can only depend on your kind for so long. Eventually even the diehards are gonna want more. You’re not a diehard, you’re a fanatic, so he’ll always have you. But the diehards often outnumber the fanatics.

What are they going to say? They know Wilder is ducking. Not Joshua's fault.

It’s to determine who is the best heavyweight of they era have to give a little to go down in history books 55/45 in aj favor is fair and that split can only happen if dazn not involved since they only offer flat fees unless they going guarantee each guy in range of 60-80 mil apiece

Wilder has had 40+ fights and his fans aren't wanting more, they're defending his ridiculous demands.

AJ is lineal heavy weight champion, with more belts and much much bigger fanbase then wilder. how are you expecting 50/50 split while fighting AJ leftovers?!!!!!!!!

Eddie is firm but fair.
Alabama fraud is soft and ******.
