WILDER OFFERS JOSHUA 50 MILLION

Disappointed that it's not going to be in the UK. I thought they could have had the first fight here and then the rematch in Vegas. But I should be happy for Joshua as he's in for a very big pay day and who knows if Wilders team can really pump up the fight Wilder could be in for a lot of money too.

If they fight again Id like to see them hit the UK.

Very serious potential for both of them to gain new fans/exposure. Im not sure how other country’s fans are, but the States are more than happy to cheer for another. Id assume its because of how many immigrants there are here, but its pretty cool. AJ could legit be a star here also.
 
Don't worry you UK fans, your boy seems like he is now going Back on what HE ASKED FOR.
Yesterday, says so at the 1 minute mark








Yeah but it's Wilder throwing curve balls at the deal being made. smh.

"The fight doesn't do $50m in the UK" I don't see how bringing the fight stateside makes more money. Neither guy has proven to draw on PPV in the US and that's the only benefit you get by doing it here vs. the UK, a bigger potential PPV audience. Joshua can draw in the UK, more than Wilder can in the US. I don't think money is a factor so much as judging and staying comfortable. I guess maybe what he's saying is that Wilder was going to overpay, so why not accept?

For now, I'd chalk this up to negotiations. Look at the latest from Canelo/GGG 2, Canelo's team was saying they won't start testing until they get the contract signed; then they started 365-day/year testing before the contract was signed. I'm hesitant to believe that anything happening during negotiations is anything other than a tactic until negotiations end.

I thought that was just the name of a place inside of the Planet Hollywood Casino. So they have sandwiches, and not only 1 - but multiple - sandwich Earls?

Flight booked.

It does not matter what you see, AJ's side already indicted the 50 Million purse is real. And have already conceded long ago it makes more money in the US.

Do you think I was saying it would make more money stateside? If so, re-read my post. You jumped the gun.

^ You questioned if it makes more money in the U.S. My response to you was your questioning does not matter. Because the people in play, already have concede that will make more money stateside..

That's what I don't agree with, you nincompoop. Who are these powerful people who "conceded" that the fight will make more stateside? Don't say "Niall O'Connor".

Estimates about how much money could be generated by the Joshua vs Wilder event vary wildly between £30m and £100m, but earlier this week Hearn stated that a conservative budget would be around £30m.

And he reiterated his caution over the exact numbers when the issue came up again on Twitter.

“At what point are you going to realise it’s nowhere near a 100m £ or $ fight?” Hearn wrote.

“But hey give us $50m which is 50-50 based on your numbers and we sign.”

And he also denied that Joshua would be earning more than twice his career-high payday, said to be the £15m he made from fighting Wladimir Klitschko.

“It won’t even be near double his highest,” Hearn said.

"Our offer was based on a UK fight"


It making more money is all based on Eddie Hearn big mouth from the start, he down played how much money it would generate and how much AJ would make in the UK. He even said AJ would not even make double his biggest purse (All based on it happening in the UK).

Then Boom Wilder's team offered guarantee money Hearn said was not possible.

Ahh gotcha, so the thing I also addressed in my original post? That there's more money to be made state-side if Wilder overpays, not because the market would cover it? I never disagreed with that - in fact, I explicitly called that out.

I'm not sure why you got all sideways with me originally, other than you read the first sentence I wrote and then glossed over the rest. Forgivable.

Just to be perfectly clear, I'm not stating this doesn't make AJ look like he's moving the goal posts. It does. But that's neither here-nor-there to a discussion about where would a fight between AJ and Wilder draw more money. They'll draw more money in the UK than in the US. If there was a way to test that theory, I'd bet on it.
 
Why we still arguing about money?

Fight is being made dammit.
 
He's scared shitless

My feelings are always whoever is offering the most money should get to dictate the location.

If the money is equal, the draw gets to pick the location.

If neither are a draw, the guy with the belts gets to pick.

Unless Hearn is going to offer more money its bullshit to not fight where they say imo.
