Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager: We Don't Need 50-50 Split to Make Joshua Fight

[Stinger1]

You're using a fight featuring the biggest PPV star in the history of the sport in Las vegas as a comparable for a fight with a no name HW in Brooklyn/MSG on a Saturday night premium cable? That's how people lose money lol

Again, your comparables are off.

No you clearly need to re-read what was written. That is UK PPV numbers and this was back when Floyd had only just beaten De La Hoya. No one had ever seen him fight in the UK. Ricky Hatton was the reason people bought the fight. AJ is 10x the start Ricky Hatton ever was.

18Million! Damn that's good money! So who's making more than that now a days with out ppv in America?

[Removed Now]

AJ could sell out any arena in the US. Ricky Hatton took 10,000-20,000 fans for his fights against Castillo, Mayweather and Pacquiao. AJ is 10x the star Hatton was. He would have no problem selling out any 20,000 arena in the US.

But Ricky Hatton was fighting mayweather and Pacquiao a lot of ppl over there are big fans of mayweather. If you think English ppl by themselves are selling out in America u are crazy. He would need an decent name. Ie Wilder.

Mayweather was just a name back then people knew but never saw fight. Hatton was his first fight after De La Hoya. The PPV sold because of Ricky Hatton's name. And 20,000 Brits came to Vegas to support Ricky Hatton.

I'm sure Hearn will insist on some additional roadblocks....Wilder has to go through Whyte first, right? Meanwhile Joshua has 3 or 4 fights lined up. This fight can't possibly happen until 2020.

Not if Hearns gets his way . . .

Joshua can always exwercise his right as the employer though, and tell his promoter to make Wilder next. If he wants the fight.

Btw who is Joshua's manager?

If the fight is made in Vegas than Wilder should get compensated as much as AJ. AJ is proven ticket seller in the UK, but that's the UK and not Vegas. Why would Wilder give up money when it will be because of Wilder that AJ will be getting that US PPV revenue. Both AJ and Wilder aren't proven ticket sellers in Vegas but AJ deserves more than 50%? Parker and Wilder are totally different fighters when it comes to money. No way Wilder takes the same deal as Parker. Parker doesn't bring nothing to the table as Wilder does financially.

Why would Wilder give up money? What ****ing money? He makes peanuts compared to AJ. What are you on about?

If Vegas wanted Wilder in their casinos they would have had him for all his fights. But no, because he's a nobody who can't even sell all the tickets.

Joshua would be getting PPV because of Wilder?? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahah and Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wilder has never done a PPV because it would flop.

Joshua makes 20 Mill against pretty much anyone. Wilder makes no where near to that. The only big pay day Wilder gets is against AJ. It will all be AJ's doing, not Wilder's.

So if Mayweather was to come to the UK against someone like Khan, you believe Mayweather should give him half the money because he only makes that at home and that Khan would be the one selling PPV's??

Delusion doesn't even come in to it when discussing Americans. You're all freaks. Creepy ****ing weirdo's. Your country is the biggest mental asylum in the world. Complete nutters.

AJ would only be selling PPV's because of Wilder.... Hahaha. Wow.

Hes his own manager

You miss the point. The purpose of the Jarrell Miller fight is to fight in the US, raising AJ's profile in the process and totally reduce Wilder's bargaining power. If AJ sells out an arena and does better numbers on Showtime than Wilder, then Wilder has no choice but to take a lower % because it would be proven AJ is a bigger draw in the US.

Anthony Joshua is a prizefighter who, at this point, gets $15m per fight minimum.

Anthony Joshua vs Jarrell Miller is not going to sell out a big building in New York; he may be able to come in and sell out the Theater at MSG at full ticket prices (3000 seats, I think), but that might be it.

Is Anthony Joshua going to take 70% of what he'd be guaranteed in the UK, all in the name of maybe knocking off some points on the Wilder fight, a bout that could be a blockbuster?

I don't think so.

Yea you're bugging he beat Oscar de la Hoya then retire then fought ricky. That fight with Oscar made him an star in the USA and put him on the P4P list. If u think Ricky filled that place with out floyd you're nuts! Who made the higher cut? Floyd! He was the A side. Joshua is not filling an us place with out wilder nobody out side of boxing fans know joshua. Sht they still don't know Ricky in the USA.

Wilder can't do US PPV without Joshua, but Joshua can't do US PPV without Wilder.

As for Wilder's purses, you have no idea what he actually make, only what is listed. Do you believe Cotto was really only paid 750k for his retirement fight?

If Parker is getting 33.3%, with a smaller name, a smaller belt, and from a smaller country, Wilder will definitely get more than 35%.

Joshua can't do PPV in the US without Wilder? I'm sure he's crying. Well, he'll just clean up at home making paydays that Wilder hasn't made in the entirety of his whole career combined.

AJ will get over it though, don't worry. Hahaha
