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

this is turning worst then May Pac... how many years has it been?

Actually only about 9 months. It just seems longer.

...but he will get it because Pressure from Sky as well as DAZN who all have INVESTED INTERESTED in the biggest fight in boxing and rightfully so. With Wilder...ZERO Pressure on his side because he stayed loyal to Showtime he will be allowed to do WTF he wants. Wilder can fight Breazeale, Dillian Whyte, Kownacki, Ortiz II, Fury II, Joe Joyce...

While on AJ side they're talking about fighting...Pulev Mandatory? Usyk? That is not going to Fill Up Wimbley back at home nor does those fights do anything for DAZN in the US

So yeah I agree with Eddie for once, Wilder is NOT worthy of 50/50 BUT they will likely have to give up 50/50 to make the biggest fight currently in boxing or else they ALL Miss Out on a lot of damn Money even if they do split things 50/50

Name another heavyweight that will get more views than Wilder.

Views? Really bro? Why don’t you go “like” some of his pics fanboy

Wilder is talking about money sharing while Hearn is also talking about anticipated date for the fight and money sharing.
I see this fight not happening this year.

Wilder offer AJ 50 million or 50% whichever is greater. AJ turns it down. AJ then offers wilder a flat fee of 12.5 million, later upped to 15 million. Wilder states at that point, He was moving on to a fight with Fury and that he would not accept anything less than 50-50. This has now become an ego thing. Especially since ESPN reported Wilder to be far more popular. AJ’s name doesn’t carry much weight in the US. Also if the fight is on PPV is the US it generates 1.5 million buys at $100.00, plus’s a live gate of 30 million. Nearly. 200 million dollar fight. AJ should take the Floyd-Pacquiao route in negotiating.

thats not how ppv revenue is distributed. the fighters only get about 50 percent so by your own calculations they would have to sell 3 million ppvs...does that seem likely seeing as wilder only sold 300k and his live gate was only 3.5 but now hes jumping up to 30 million simply by adding joshua? the money is not there for a super wilder-joshua fight at the moment. they would both have to drastically up their star power to get anywhere close to 100 million for each. hearn was willing to overpay wilder to secure the fight but wilder is chasing some fantasy

Problem is wilder won’t make it through all those fights

Joshua/Fury would do more numbers than Joshua/Wilder.

Not in America it won’t and that’s where most of money can be made

Joshua makes Sky a lot of money, Joshua makes a lot of money, the fans now know Wilder is the one that ducked. There's no pressure on Joshua. Pressure is on Wilder. The fans are ****ting on him and how long do you think Showtime are going to pay big money to a fighter that can't sell PPV?

I Agree! Look lets be honest here this is the heavyweight division...they're all going to lose all it takes is one punch at the right time and it is Lennox Lewis vs Oliver McCall, Mikey Tyson vs Buster Douglass, Wladimir Klitschko vs Corrie Sanders all over again

In the Heavyweight Division it is INEVITABLE! In the Heavyweight Division "Marination of Fights" is extremely risky. Maybe Big Baby and Breazeale pulling off upsets is needed to humble both fighters as well as their fans

who says the fight has to happen in the US? Aj makes 3 times more money than wilder against opponents who arent even as popular as fury so of couse it would do much more. even in the US it could do better than wilder but we will wait and see on that. how much would wilder vs breazele do in the UK?

Please, Wilder vs Price, or any other English scrub, would sell out a stadium in the UK. Thanks to Hearn, Wilder is a house hold name.
