Comments Thread For: Hearn is Firm: Wilder Doesn't Deserve 50-50 For Joshua Fight!

[Robbie Barrett]

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

Why does it have to be Joshua to give? Because Wilder says so. Almost everyone agrees Wilder doesn't deserve it. Up to him if he wants it.

the same thing they did to canelo

Canelo got such a hard time because he literally dropped his belt to avoid fighting ggg. The general public will focus on the fact Wilder turned down 100 mil to fight Aj. I wilder fans have various methods to spin that but essentially that’s the bottom line the majority of people will focus on. If you don’t believe me just check his insta comments.

How many times do we have to explain this?

A fighter gets (roughly) what he brings to the fight.l if one fighter has a track record of bringing in 4 times as much revenue then he will get roughly 4 times the deal. It really is (basically) that simple.

Historically AJ has brought in massively more revenue so deserves much the bigger split but this fight may bring in so much money that Hearn and AJ can afford to give away money to get the deal done. We will have a better idea after the next two fights.

Wildrr's ridiculous posing about 50 50 isn't taken seriously by anyone in the business including his own manager.

The only people who swallow this nonsense are financially naive fans (plenty of them) and trolls.

If Wilder really does stuck at 50 50 which I very much doubt then he doesn't want the fight.

Problem is that although he hits like a mule he could lose to any top hw who can punch. And his manager know it. So he's playing a risky game.

Wilder fans = Joshua needs to give, the pressure is on him.


You can't make this shit up. They're deluded.

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.

Wilder/fury was ppv worthy yes at 74.99 is another argument, canelo/Smith was not ppv worthy but because of canelo guarantee was forced on ppv and canelo already has a fan base being as though that wasn’t his first ppv fight so using canelo as example is wrong in itself... you shouldn’t be lowering ticket prices 3months out from fight if it’s selling so good just go on site to see prices has dropped some secondary ticket sellers already offering 75% off with 3 months left

There are 10x as many people in this forum concerned with fighters' purse splits than fans interested in actual fights.

They both have to give which is why I said 55/45 in Joshua favor they need each other and everyone knows Joshua is bigger draw in u.k but to become the global star Hearn and them want him to be and not go down in history as the joe calzaghe of heavyweights they need wilder in USA if they both win

[Fabes88]

Doesn’t aj get additional money from sponsorships? Let me guess, a lot of you think wilder should get 50% of that too lol

Cheapest Joshua-Miller tickets = $238
Cheapest Wilder-Breazeale tickets = $67

The fact they won’t even acknowledge this is insane. Even when aj rejected the 50 mil I understood why but equally I could understand why many people would think that’s a duck but they can’t even admit that. Even the “objective” posters
