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

Proof that Miller can't sell tickets? Google is a very useful tool.

you made the claim its up to you to prove it

Mayweather sold on his own, he sold more than Wilder against a top fighter.

but again that's not what you were talking about.....


you said top 10 sells ppv's etc

Not true. If you're a genuine draw you can sell PPV against any top 10 rated fighter. Canelo, Mayweather, Pacquiao, DLH, Tyson all did it.

stop flip flopping.

That dazn deal was bs 40mil for first fight and getting the same for a rematch even if you win can only go off details they leaked out is a terrible deal nothing was leaked to show if he won would get more, hopefully after both guys win fights coming up they get together like May/pac did and get it done before people start losing interest need strike while irons hot and people paying attention to heavyweight division again which helps the sport overall when have casuals interested again

If he lost he also wouldn't get less.

[Noelanthony]

you had Wilder on the hook for 15m, but then you lost your pen

if/when AJ finally decides that he is ready, will you be using a pencil?

I thought the 15 million Team AJ were waiting for Wilder’s ink not the other way round? How many offers do they have to make over the 35% that you deemed as fair before you to take them seriously . Now Wilder is suggesting 50/50 and somehow you question team Joshua

but pac and may were both million dollar ppv stars at that time. how do people lose interest if there is no interest in these guys yet? first you have to build interest and wilder certainly has not done that as his ppv and live gate numbers show. joshua obviously has the interest in the uk but not in the us yet. this deal was great for wilder because it paid him as if he was a huge star when hes not. he could have skipped the years of building your name and winning fights and gone straight to hte money. now he just has to hope he becomes a huge star and one cannot always control that. some guys do, most guys dont.

How is that flip flopping? Mayweather was a genuine draw he could sell against any top 10 fighter. Wilder can't that's why the Breazeale fight isn't PPV. I don't understand how you're getting confused are you slow?

[Scipio2009]

Nice to finally see that Hearn is realizing that the flat fee noise no longer flies. Now a deal just might get done.

Sky Sports carries the fight in the UK (expected value is held as the marker), Showtime PPV carries the fight in the US (with DAZN's number held as the marker), MGM Resorts will host the fight in Las Vegas, and both will show $20m payday guarantees for the fight, with the formal split of everything really being 55/45 Joshua.

Pick one of the early December Saturdays to stage the fight (after NCAAF conference championship games but before the big bowl games around New Year's Day).

[SN!PER]

Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Pull your head out of your ass and hand over the 50%.

[bigjavi973]

Joshua and Fury aready draw in the UK which makes them bigger draws. All those fighters you mentioned were PPV stars, Wilder isn't.

Mayweather was B side for Oscar and took a 30% split
Manny was B side for Oscar and took a lesser split
Canelo was B side for Mayweather and took a lesser split

See what happened? They took less against the A side to gain more. Why isn't Wilder willing to? The duck knows he can't win, that's why.

how many ppv's AJ sold again in the US market?

Will determine interest in wilder of what his next ppv does, at the moment he is most talked about boxer gotta see if that translate to more people wanting to pay for his next ppv

Who would be interested in seeing a rematch especially if it’s by blowout or fight wasn’t a back and forth tug of war
