What he means is that both fighters could earn at least $50mil each. That's the purse split. The actual total purse itself is $100mil; Which is only $20mil off what DAZN was offering him a few months ago for two fights.

So here's my take on the money situation. I'm optimistic that Joshua vs Wilder COULD generate $100mill. What seems to be surprisingly missing from the thoughts of many people, is that if a fight generated $100mill, the networks, promoters, managers, undercard fighter purses, trainers, cornermen, entourage, sanctioning organization etc.. all take their cut from that generated revenue. There is no seperate "magical" fund that pays out to everyone else. Also, it WOULD HAVE TO BE presented as a PPV fight.
So now my skepticism as to the validity of Wilders claims to making more in one fight than DAZNs offer.
For Wilder to clear(put in his pocket) lets say $50mill which we'll assume a 50/50 split is agreed upon. I would roughly estimate the fight would need to generate in the ballpark of approximately $250-$300million. Those are hovering near MayPac figures(it was more than that). I personally can't see the fight generating that much no matter how much I may want it to.
Lastly, and the only scenario I can see Joshua willing to walk away from DAZN to have it on PPV is if he is given a LEGITIMATE guarantee of $50MILL+ with equal upside split.

Also, if Wilder is inferring that HE ALONE can earn $100mill for the fight and it not being the entire revenue. Really is a what I would call the "Mayweather pipedream".

First of all the market doesn’t call for him to make that much. Secondly, even if it did, then Joshua would have to earn at least twice that much. Just follow the money. Wilder is a Sucka MC.

Wilder has a point. His profile is rising. His latest comments about possibly killing Breazeale has galvanized casual fans who will tune in with the hope of seeing Deontay get KTFO.

Joshua vs Wilder won't even do close to 100m in revenue...they not crossover superstars like May or Pac.

This is not the u.k when Dillian shyte is a ppv star against the likes of Chisora and Parker fan boy

I never said it was. But thanks for clearing it up. Wilder isn't a PPV fighter. Cheers.

"Shyte" is the fighter Wilder refuses to fight because he's scared. "Shyte" is the fighter Wilder told on Twitter that he wouldn't fight for 2 years even if he became mandatory. "Shyte" is the fighter Wilder asked for 7 Mill to fight only to run like a scared b1tch when offered that 7 Mill.

What is it about "Shyte" that makes your punk go all jelly like? Why is he terrified of him?

It's not out of the question. Joshua vs Wlad did $90 million so who knows.
They are definitely building it up. It could do around there, and for sure better than Joshua- Parker which got $68 million.

No one is gonna get Pac-May money you are right. That is once in a generation money.

Can you break it down for me on how Wilder is growing in profile? Don't just give me a load of your opinions, I want cold hard solid facts.

Thanks.

So finkel just admitted that they've turned down four different offers because they're money hungry, it's not Joshua the one holding up the fight , it's Shelly finkel

Precisely. They are soo dumb they don’t even keep track of their own spin, I’ve had enough of this BS, I hope Breazeale or Whyte KO’s him and spoils his plans.

Go back and re-read my post. Your reading comprehension is not up to task. Like everything else isn't.

You said AJ's resume was weak. I pointed out that it was better than any Heavyweight in history after 22 fights. So how can it be weak you tw3t? He's well ahead of anyone else to have fought at the weight.

That's the equivalent of me saying you're the smartest weetard on this thread.

For the record, I believe Frazier and Ali both had better resumes at 22 fights than Joshua. Check your history. Bet you don't know who Floyd Patterson or Sonny Liston are.
