Comments Thread For: Nelson: If Wilder Turns Down Joshua Offer - It Doesn't Look Good

[rickJen]

The reluctance alone proves Wilder was never after the fight.
He was after the money. The guy is a huge joke.

[Straightener]

They both agreed on 60-40.

So now they are arguing as to what the total pot will be.

Wilders side have been offered 12.5 mill which if he's that confident he'd win he'd take cos it many times more than he's made before or could make in any other fight. Plus he'd get 60% of the pot in the rematch. Where's the issue? Has he accepted, no.

So then they say it's a 100 mill fight. Okay, if that's true Aj will take less than 60%, go 50/50.

Did they agree to that?

No, because they know they can't really get it to 100 mill and that was a fib to make the real offer look bad. When it was okay.

That’s how i see it

One side is making moves the other side is saying no

How about wilders ******ed team say what they want ..... Not that 50/50 BS wilder was spouting

[Truth316]

Why are you guys saying Wilder’s team hasn’t made an offer? They did, they asked for 40%! Thats pretty simple to me.

Team AJ should hom a split just like they offered Parker. Yes it more money than wilder has ever made but let’s say the fight generates 80 million, Wilder could stand to make 30 million and here is another reason why the flat fee is a joke , you have 2 undefeated HW champions, one from UK one from US both with over 90% KO ratio, think of how good they can market this fight and make it a global affair.

Fangirls like you making all the excuses for Wilder to duck. You don't want the fight, you only talk about the split, they pay you? lol

That's from Dan Rafeal who has his own boxing section at ESPN. Dougie Fish over at Ring Magazine said pretty much the same thing.

You don't want the fight you quack! Even the belts call out what percent each fighter should split. But that means you actually know what the fuk your talking about which is clearly something you know jack sht about boxing.

Go get your own boxing show and troll there. No one gonna give 2 shts what you say. Your like Khan Jr. Both want AJ's dic in you.

You people just don't get it as if it's rocket science.
Hearn is not the only player in the game.
There's no rule in the book where it says only one side makes the offer.
Wilder is advised by powerful Haymon backed by Showtime/CBS.
CBS is one of the prime networks in the US. It is not a joke.
If Wilder's people feel it is worth more than what Hearn projects,
then make the fight in the US and offer AJ his flat fee, which he is willing to accept.

For the money Wilder wants to demand, he would need to fight Whyte in the UK and AJ fight Miller over in the states, that way both fighters would be able to sell their fight (In winning) on PPV on both sides of the Atlantic and hope they make the money required.

Exactly which is what Hearn wanted to do in the first place but the wilder fan girls were crying about that too.

[Fabes88]

I would turn it down too if everything is in Joshua's favor too. I bet Joshua made an offer knowing it wasn't worth Deontay's time.

I’m sorry but no. Offering someone 10 million more than they’ve ever made is definitely worth their time. Especially when you’ve said time and time again it’s not about money.

NO, it will only be PPV on both sides if the fight is held in America at PRIME TIME.Why do you idiots have such a hard time understanding that ?

CBS/Showtime have to remain neutral.They have a solid relationship with Joshua and Match room.If they back Wilder and Joshua wins, that will look very embrassing
