Anthony Joshua Offers Deontay Wilder $28 Million To Fight!! Wilder Still Scared

[DJrabit]

Who cares what Wilder/Haymon has offered. A.J is the A side. Did Mayweather decide to fight PAC on PAC terms or his terns ? AJ making 20-25 million a fight.

hearn and AJ have 0 credibility when it comes to wilder

everyone can see through their BS...more damage control by team AJ

"nobody ever told me about the lineal championship when i was coming up...never heard of it...check out my awesome ibo belt though isnt it great? it means alot...very prestigious"

[Larry the boss]

So joshua is making offers now?? how is this more believable then Wilder offering him 50 million?

[Rayzah]

poor AJ and Eddie have painted them selves in a corner...they will have to wait on 2 more fights....the tyson victory and then the rematch....the Ball was in AJ's court for a hot second, but the tyson fury's comeback and great performance change the leverage for sure. it's not about money for the top 2 heavies its about legacy... put eddies money back and wait ur turn

AJ has said wants the Wilder fight so bad that he's willing to give him a guaranteed minimum plus PPV revenue and more than double what he got against Fury in the so called biggest fight of the year "according to Wilder".

AJ asked what more can he do? Career high payday, 4 belts, that's everything Wilder has said he wants but Wilder still ducking. Reports indicate Wilder earnt between 12 and 14 million while Fury made 8 million.. AJ makes more than both of them combined and has been making between 20 and 25 million for his last few fights.
Wilder needs to realise he's B side.

If you honestly think that Anthony Joshua/Hearn offered Wilder $28m for this fight, when Joshua and Klitschko split less than $45m on their fight (they basically got $22m apiece, plus whatever personal sponsors), you're kidding yourself.

Wouldn't shock me to find out if that was the total value of the fight and a rematch if exercised by Joshua, lol

as soon as someone mentions aj having "4 belts" the rest of their post becomes a joke.

[Prince Madison]

Why? It's factually accurate even if you don't rate them all. Oh yeah, I forgot you don't get on with facts...

Floyd is a prizefighter who has been in control of his own career since the Baldomir fight in 2006. Manny Pacquiao has put on literally one fight on his own, and even then Top Rank took the US TV rights from him (This Pacquiao-Broner card is quite literally the first time that Pacquiao is fully his own boss on an event). Any offer that Pacquiao could've ever made would've been with Top Rank's money and likely for far less than Floyd was getting on his own anyway.

Anthony Joshua runs his own affairs (Sky Sports deal aside, Joshua/Hearn agree on a budget for the event, Hearn puts on the shows, costs are recouped, and any proceeds beyond that are split 80/20 Joshua) and, to a lesser extent for now, Deontay Wilder runs his own show too (the splits are likely different but DiBella stages the events, cost are recouped, and then the proceeds are split accordingly).

Wilder's camp offered Anthony Joshua the first $50m of the fight proceeds, with 50% of any of the proceeds beyond the first $100m to fight in Las Vegas. Joshua's camp acknowledged that it was a legit offer, but said no for want to stay at home.

Wilder has no qualms with traveling to the UK to fight for his price, and Wilder's ask was basically 40% of the take (budget for the event is agreed to, Hearn stages the event at Wembley, costs are recouped, and any proceeds are split with Wilder's camp getting 40% and Joshua getting 60%, of which Hearn and Joshua split 80/20 Joshua). As a flat fee with no stake in the event, $15m was significantly below what Wilder believed was fair value, but he likely makes the trip for $18m.

If Joshua is content to stay fighting for $20m-$25m per fight, so be it; hard way to get to being a billion dollar fighter, though.

Fight Wilder on PPV for $50m (potentially much more, tbh), win the fight, and Anthony Joshua is the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis.

Wilder rematch (logic says go where the most money can be made, but if Joshua is bent on the UK, so be it; CBS likely airs the fight live), settle the IBF mandatory in Europe (fight Pulev in the UK or Bulgaria; Showtime International will obviously carry the fight), settle the WBC mandatory in the US (Breazeale isn't the greatest B-side, but it likely still forces PPV), and then have the Fury clash in the UK (CBS likely picks up the rights in the US, but from after the Wilder rematch on, it'll likely come down to whom Joshua wants to do business with).

From then on, Joshua is likely a travelling champion for however long his run with the undisputed title runs; UK and US for the major fights and events elsewhere (ie WBO make one of the Asian heavyweights in BoxRec's top 50 as mandatory opens up trips to Tokyo Dome in Japan or Bird's Nest in Beijing)

I think AJ and hearn are over paying for the green belt.
It's only a matter of time someone else will bring for even less money.
