Comments Thread For: Hearn Cautions The WBO: Fury-Joshua is Bigger Than The Belts

If both are paying £1.5M which is 3%. Then both will be guaranteed about £50M. But AJ fans lie and claim he was paid $85M for Ruiz II. A$$ Juice also refused $50M for wilder or undisputed could've happened 3 years ago.

Preach brother.
Just look at forbes list.
Fury earned 57mill Aj 47 mill & Wilder 46.5 as Aj fight's so rarely.

I've also heard from bob 75 mill each & each belt gets a percentage upto 300k max. Bob's probably been on the pipe again though.

It's all just estimates. But for the record, and since you cite Forbes, here's an article of theirs talking about what Joshua earned for his second fight against Ruiz and they mention US$60m+ (link to the article)

Though that is based on a tweet from a UK journalist who claimed in excess of 46m quid.

An alternative source estimated it as GBP 60m (around USD 81m at current exchange rates). Link to the Guardian article that claimed it.

In June 2020, another Forbes article estimated $57m for Fury, $47m for Joshua and $6.5m for Wilder. Here's the link

But really, who cares all that much? It's their money, not mine. I'm not getting paid it, nor are you. Everyone can agree: it's an awful lot of money no matter how much exactly.

Fury vs Joshua is huge, with or without belts. That's just a fact. It needs to happen.

What a mug! So anyone who is a fan of either pac or AJ knows nothing about boxing?

Generalisation if I ever heard it!

This was proven to be wrong, Wilder admitted he turned it down!!

Obviously you are a bigger liar than Wilder. Wilder has admitted on video, after lying to the boxing world for years, that he ducked AJ by refusing a100 million dollar offer to fight AJ. Instead he took between 10 and 20 million to fight Fury because he thought that the Fury fight was a much easier fight.

The WBO??

A$$ Juice turned down the $50M first than proceeded to play games during the first negotiations only to fight Povetkin instead. What wilder did doesn't omit AJ ducking $50M he asked for just to get paid around the same to fight fury
