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

[SchoolTheseCats]

but floyd already had a fan base and was selling millions of ppvs before all the ducking talk. do you think wilder ducking before he becomes popular will work?

Wilder popularity sky rocketed after the fury fight no matter how people scored the fight if people say otherwise we all know they just fan boys of certain fighters, Floyd first ppv did around same amount of buys but made less money

So why is he on regular Showtime? Skyrocketed.

Why is his fight struggling to sell tickets when they're 3x cheaper than Joshua's?

Wilder is worth 50/50 but his next fight isn’t even on PPV...Showtime wouldn’t even give him 50/50.

Because the fight is not ppv worthy dip**** just because you become more known doesn’t mean people will pay for anything you u.k fan boys should take note, Joshua/miller is not sold out last I checked with prices just dropping

really? so wilder vs price is going to do a 10 million live gate like joshua does when wilder can only do 3 million in his own country? great fan fiction going on there. you would think he would relocate to the UK and make a lot more money doing that.

Seeing how I'm not caring about Wilder that hard. I think Fury won. That being said, all the noise and uptick in Wilder's popularity is due to Hearn and his prissy ways. Yeah, I think Wilder sells in the UK now, thanks to Hearn.

I think 50/50 is fair. Yes, AJ has more belts but Wilder does have the coveted wbc belt, although the wbc have had dodgy dealings themselves. But never mind belts and their worth or lack of it, just fight each other. Fury also has to fight Wilder again, and Joshua. If they don't want to and have different networks, promoters and deal disagreements keep them apart, then so be it, and the fans will stop watching.

It seems to me that the specific belt distribution is less important than the relative drawing power of each guy. Up until this point AJ has drawn better, but Wilder (because of his charisma, nationality and KOs) is quickly becoming the face of the HW division. Both guys are world champions and among the consensus top 3 fighters in the division; however, the biggest, most profitable market for boxing is the U.S. (always will be, so please don't argue that fact because all of the top UK promoters accept that). Therefore, as long as Wilder keeps winning (particularly if he continues to do so with impressive KOs), there is no way in the world that he would or should accept less than 50%. This is sport, but its entertainment before that. Aj is Klitschko 3.0. He's boring as hell inside and out of the ring.

It's not PPV worthy because he's not popular enough.

True draws can sell a PPV against any top 10 fighter.

Stop the pretending to be neutral act. You've constantly defended Wilder at every turn. Saying all the pressure is on Joshua and non is on Wilder is absurd. Joshua is a draw, he's making money and so are Sky. Showtime isn't because Wilder can't sell PPV it's all loss for them.

Check my history on this forum... I am not ACT like YOU!

The difference between Me and You is that I'M A BOXING FANS...you're a BOXER FAN and it is a huge difference

As for Pressure, naturally it is more on AJ because he holds most of the Belts and it is more people invested IN HIM compared to Wilder. He also have to make DAZN happy, DAZN clearly wants AJ vs Wilder and rightfully so. That is why they made the massive offer to him and if Wilder keep winning the Offer will only get BIGGER because they know it is a lot of money in that fight for everybody that will be involved in it

So yeah take that "Oh You're A Wilder Fan!" BS somewhere else that won't work here. Again check the history if my post before making an ASS out of yourself by ASSuming I'm just some Wilder fans

Are you on crack? Or just like to sound dumb asf? You need a dance partner to sell ppv or someone that’s well known that can help sell a ppv Breazeale is neither of those after the Mayweather/pac ppv casuals aren’t as dumb to buy in on every ppv anymore

You've sided with Wilder on EVERYTHING. You're a biased Wilder fan. I don't see any pressure on Joshua. How can DAZN pressure Joshua, he didn't make the offer they did. They know Wilder doesn't want it.

How long is Showtime going to pay big purses to a fighter that can't sell PPV?
