    Wtf are you on about?
    The AJ-Wlad revenue in total was expected to be at 40mil pounds. Thats not the purse.
    Joshuas expected purse vs Takam was at 10mil pounds which is roughly 14mil USD. (May have made more depending on the PPV sales)

    Yes, Joshua makes tons more but lets not get carried away.
    Btw, Joshua makes more in 1 fight than Wilder has made in his entire title run... :lol:

    This. Those numbers were complete BS. AJ brings big numbers in the UK, but isn't a proven draw outside of the UK.

    All i know is Wilder is too chickenchit to travel and fight Whyte for a career high payday.
    That's strike one that he's not interested to build interest and fight AJ in the UK where it should be.

    Well, atm it doesnt matter if Joshua is proven outside of the UK.

    But he is huge in the UK market.

    This isn't a Manny vs Floyd comparison in terms of drawing power where both were paperview fighters.

    This is more of a mayweather vs berto comparision

    Your information is misleading.

    Joshua is a PPV superstar , Wilder isn't.. Boxing is doing very well in UK and all the top fighters are PPV attractions. Interest in boxing has dipped in the US since Mayweather retired.

    Top P4P Errol Spence just made $1.2 million against Petterson. Does that mean he didn't deserve even a 90-10 split against Brook?

    Your numbers are wayyyyy off.

    AJ is hearning around £5m/$8m per fight.

    His PPVs may be doing 500,000-1,000,000 buys domestically but they are only $20.

    You have to pay fighters on the undercard, venue fees, insurance, security, etc etc etc

    AJ doesn't just walk away with all of the money in the pot.

    Get real guys.

    Regardless of the purses, in the big league Wilder ain't worth a toss.


    It's embarrassing he has been on less than 2 million a fight considering he holds the WBC Heavyweight Title.

    Thats good money to be earning on regular TV fighting against Bums.

    Its the same Golovkin was making defending TWO belts before he struck gold with Canelo

    Wilder is one of the WORST draws in HW belt holder history, especially considering he's a black American fighter wearing flashy Gucci jackets with dozens of tattoos.
