Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Let's Get Back To Making Biggest Fights For Wilder

[j0zef]

Get back to biggest fights? Uh.. He only had one, a good victory over Ortiz. Fury was a cherry pick gone wrong. He was hoping for an easy victory so he can claim lineal after knocking out a fat slob. Instead he got outboxed for 11 rounds then got a gift draw decision due to a couple of good punches.

Let's not act like wilder had big fights, because he hasn't.

no...they are scared it will do at least 1 million buys in the US and there will be no US ppv money if they fight on an app that has a tiny subscription base in the US....plain and simple

no they are scared the US based champ, a British guy placed on his first ppv and still had to help him sell the fight will do 2mil buys and hez back fighting on a regular TV leaving all the money on DAZN table for far less money for the same fight.

The simple fact is still with 200mil for only Breazeale fight, wilder will never fight outside showtime. Hez a free agent doe.

Yeah, that's why AJ gets paid tens of millions while Wilder gets paid a pittance.

Without Fury and AJ being in the opposite corner Wilder doesn't make much of anything. That is not the case for AJ. Could you imagine how much money AJ/Fury would generate? More than what AJ is getting now. And he's making over 30 mill for the Miller fight which is more than Wilder has earned in his whole career. Funny that isn't it?

Yeah, 50/50 isn't far fetched. If you come from the land of OZ and smoke rocks daily it isn't. In the real world however, it's a lot more than being far fetched. It's straight crazy.

So you completely ignored my post to respond with lame jokes, and show your affection for Joshua's bank account. I addressed everything in your post before you said it. Being the 3rd or 4th highest paid guy in the sport is a "pittance" only to fans, unless you can show me all the other guys cashing their 8 figure "nothing" checks.

If you have a source for Eddie Hearn saying that Joshua's offer on a potential Joshua-Wilder fight on DAZN was for $60m, please share it, lol.

Because if that's the case, there's a place for a discussion to be had; Wilder and his camp believed that Wilder's share on the fight was set to be $50m (50% of $100m), so that becomes the working number.

$60m to Joshua, $50m to Wilder, and you'd seem to have a fight. Wilder knocks out Anthony Joshua, and his fee on the rematch goes up again. Straightforward.

I think you're full of **** here, though.

14:40 "in line with the talked about splits" which was 60/40 at the worst for AJ and Hearns gonna be down playing it as much as possible to make the Wilder offer look fair so don't start stating Hearn would be hyping it because that would clearly be detrimental to his intentions here.


Wilders original offer would have had Wilder getting 25% at 100 mil because it was 50 mil to AJ and 50% split on the rest, further showing how unrealistic it was, as why would they take such a poor cut for no reason? Only explanation is they had no intention of making the offer make it past the line.

Yea, if the opponent gets one ...

Well the opponent does want one so Wilder will want one therefore it will be 2 nights, how hard was that?

Also Wilder got a rematch clause incase he lost to Fury so it's not like he's opposed to them either, you guys really have no point to make by saying this.

[DaNeutral.]

Get back to it? Had over 40 fights and only made 1 big one which he should of lost and wasn't half as big as predicted by team wilder and those fruitloops on YouTube.

It could of been more than 1 but team wilder never wanted to face wlad, Joshua or whyte and a few others

Wilder believed that the Joshua fight was worth $100m at least last year, and he wanted half. That's $50m (what I personally perceived as the value of the fight doesn't matter).

Even if Hearn isn't bull****ting here, if Wilder's camp already has $50m as Wilder's number (and the alleged offer on both sides of the fight makes it now clear that Hearn now believes Wilder's camp's number is legit), why would he now take less than that on the fight, to go behind Eddie's paywall for however many fights, while again being shorted on the rematch?

Hearn tried to make an example, and it was a silly one had Davies been around; yes, for as good a reporter as Davies is, his management would be ****** to see him get £5m, and then not worry as two other lesser reporters get better money than he did because they held out.

No, they don't. They were on the outside looking in. No belts. No big fight on the horizon. The guy making the voluntary defense deserves more credit than the guy being gifted a title shot.

the fight still needed to be negotiated and eventually the fighters had to enter the ring. look at the situation now. fury is basically in the same position and there's even more reason to make the fight, and it's not happening. I have no doubt if fury didn't sign with arum, we'd be seeing the rematch...so give fish eyes his credit.

[Joshy55213]

Fury took wilder to school. Smh

Fury got knocked the f out, anybody who says diff. Just have trouble counting.

[Sid-Knee]

Showtime made the best one fight offer.

They're paying Wilder more than 20 Mill for the Brezeale fight?
