No he does not, but there is a chance he ends up getting just that. His team is obviously banking on that. But to answer the question, no, no he does not deserve 50/50. 60/40 Joshua is fair and 58/42 or 57/43 would be damn good for Wilder.Comment

Wilder doesn't even deserve 40%. If they didn't rob Fury he wouldn't be in this position. He shouldn't have that belt, he's a paper champ.Comment

Absolutely not
Wilders highest pay day 7m
Joshua’s 30m
Wilder is being paid 4m
For his next fight by his masters
Joshua getting 25m in the USA and probably 5-7m from the uk easy
Wilder is a coward who needs to be strippedComment

Based on what each man brings to the table 40% is an overpayment, Joshua brings three times the belts, he's the bigger draw, brings global recognition, has a better resume, is a better ambassador for the sport and although younger and less experienced has consistently challenged himself and rapidly raised the level of his opposition in half the number of fights. At least it gets the fight made though.
50% however would be bad for boxing, because other fighters would look at the years of padding on Wilder's resume and think that was the path to follow to riches. The split should reflect the level of risk taken in each fighters career and on that criteria Wilder doesn't deserve anything like 50.Comment
