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

[SchoolTheseCats]

Canelo-Smith was PPV "buddy". May, Pac sold PPV against lower top 10 fighters. Proving you wrong. Clown.


Why is Wilders fight struggling to sell tickets when they're 3x cheaper than Joshua's? Why are you ducking this question?

Was canelo/Kirkland on ppv? Canelo/Smith was ppv because of what they was paying canelo not because it was ppv worthy and how much is the reported ppv buys for that 300k lol stop it who is your source that wilder/Breazeale struggling to sell? Pretty sure will break attendance record that he owns already for a boxing match at Barclays now answer why is they dropping prices for Joshua/miller if it’s selling so good?

Robbie Barrett you do come off as someone who is mentally disordered and should be on medication. It’s a boxing forum, you post as if your livelihood depended on your and other peoples opinions. Life is tough, but what isn’t tough is hearing opinions that don’t match yours. If your blood pressure goes up because of that be prepared for a shortened existence.

Sooner or later DAZN is going to press Hearn to make this fight happen so all this BS Hearns saying "it's up to AJ" is a straight lie.

Exactly....

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

OK, well go see if Team Fury will bite on your BS.

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?

The DAZN brass are precisely the people who are going to force AJ/Eddie/Matchroom to do a 50/50 fight. DAZN has a subscription service business model. The company has invested a sh-it ton of money into building its subscriber base in Year 1. DAZN's customer value proposition seems great compared to the prevailing PPV model which mostly disappoints fans, BUT its not going to work (read: members will drop it quickly) if the service does not deliver a steady stream of PPV-quality fights. This means that DAZN's marquee stars like AJ and Canelo cannot be fighting a series of stay-busy mandatory fights, as Eddie Hearn has shamelessly said AJ could go on doing before the DAZN deal. DAZN needs AJ v Wilder to cement its status as the future of boxing. This fight will happen sooner than later and its going to be the DAZN brass that make it so; at a 50/50 split.

It sold the same as Wilder-Fury, so it wasn't PPV worthy but Wilder-Fury was?

Attendance record? No it has the 2nd and as we all know they give thousands of tickets away like they did for the Fury fight.

Joshua's tickets are 3x the price of Wilders. Wilders fight better have 3x the attendance or we can say he's a lesser draw than Joshua. Not drawing as much money = lesser draw, FACT.

Hearn wants to keep AJ away from wilder.


shame this should be a 50/50 type of fight for all the belts.

I never felt like Wilder deserved a 50/50 split, as long as the fight was in the UK. If they do it in America, it may be a different story. I was always under the assumption that AJ wasn’t coming over here to fight. But this Big Baby at MSG kinda changed the game a little bit.

[bigjavi973]

They should stop chasing Wilder. Forget about him, he's been outed as the one that doesn't want the fight. Never give him that pay day, he'll lose soon enough and then Joshua can unify.

But DAZN don't control Joshua and do not have him tied in to a fixed fight deal so simply cannot dictate who he fights and for how much.

If DAZN push to overpay Wilder in order to make the fight then it is DAZN that is going to have to compensate Joshua at the same time.
