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

[OldTerry]

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

Not in America. in the UK for sure

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.

DAZN pay flat fees, there is no split. Joshua isn't even signed to DAZN. So how they going to pressure him for a 50/50 split?

[Curt Henning]

He ain't wrong but I would demand it if I were AJ. He offers Wilder a 50/50 split and Wilder still balks we know what's up.

they wont call that "bluff" trust me...because they know its not a bluff and wilder will actually sign that tomorrow

[NachoMan]

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.

Really? That's not at all what I've been reading. DAZN tells Matchroom what to do and Matchroom tells AJ what's up.

You're a fake twat that pretends you're all fair and neutral while being a biased cunt. Everyone can see through the act you clown, not hard when in every thread you defend Wilder.

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.

GGG is a lesser draw than Canelo, yet still got pretty close to 50/50 for their rematch. It’s not always about who’s the bigger draw. It’s about who can the bigger draw fight that grosses equal to or more than the guy he’s negotiating with. AJ-Wilder is bigger than any other fight AJ can do, by a long shot. That strengthens Wilder’s negotiating power. Does he deserve 50/50? Probably not. But where else does AJ go for an event the magnitude a Wilder fight would bring?

Joshua is making fantastic money already. You act like he's in Wilders position. If Wilder wants to turn down massive money then **** him, Joshua shouldn't bend to a crazy guy.

[bigjavi973]

Holy ****!!

40% is a great offer for wilder, wtf is wrong with him wow

40% to fight on your own backyard?

quite funny
