    I would say Wilder should get a slice of the PPV.

    If that's true, that is a blatant duck move. I don't know why the ***** AJ is so scared.

    Its not a great offer but it is step 1. Im sure at step 1 Wilder and his managers will be looking at 50-50 and the fight to be in America, also not great. But until team Wilder come back to Hearn nothing is going to happen. Not engaging in negotiations is more of a duck move than trying to engage in negotiations.

    Im trying to figure out why Wilder is worth more than 15 million? Based on past earnings he is worth less than 15, based on how his tickets sold in his last fight nobody cares about him in America, based on his last PPV numbers the fact it was a decent opponant and he has been making alot of noise on Youtube peoples interest in him is increasing but its still not good.

    Wilder and other people have been pointing out how little interest people have in Anthony Joshua in America but putting Wilders numbers in the same graphs there is little between them. So nobody cares in America about either of them and nobody cares about Wilder in the UK. And Joshua is breaking world records, filling huge stadiums and is making a shed load of money. He would do massive numbers against Wilder, Whyte rematch, hell he would do them numbers with a Molina rematch.

    Why is Deontay Wilder worth more than 15 million?

    Exactly. To me if Wilder can make $15-$20 mil from the this he should take it.

    Well at least we now know which of Wilders 76 leach like managers is dealing with all this. They will eventually settle on a percentage and Wilder will get a higher split. American PPV will have to be split between them too, Hearn cant keep hold of that.

    I don't think Joshua is scared, but rather Eddie Hearn doesn't want the fight.

    So if Wilder earns 10 x his usual purse that's a duck? Please.

    The gate revenue is all generated by AJ. The tickets don't sell because of Wilder.

    I would say Wilder is entitled to a slice of the UK PPV revenue but that's about it.

    That's unfortunately beyond argument, but still, there's a reason "British referee" became a term, and you don't need a UK passport to pull shady stoppages and bad calls. Judging is usually better, but was a disgrace in the Parker fight, like everything on the BBBoC side. No way Joshua (a clear winner) has such an easy day if Parker is allowed to fight inside, and no way the scores reflects a highly competitive fight. Those are the same signs that has most of us saying if Canelo sees the final bell, GGG is getting robbed, and along came Adelaide Byrd.

    See Hearn, like big promoters has too much power and influence over his territory's bodies and officiating shenanigans. Which is why at the very least, the undisputed HW championship should be decided with an independent body handling officiating and zero promoter influence on selection. As a matter of fact, sign me up for randomly deciding who's the ref and the three judges before the fight, there's money to ship 5 respected refs and 20 judges.

    When a deal was finally struck, the split is understand to have been agreed at around 67:33 in favour of Joshua, in recognition of his higher status and bigger draw.

    The total purse for the fight is, if Joshua vs Parker pay-per-view sales hit expected targets, around £24m, meaning Joshua will pocket £16m while Parker takes home a career-high of £8m.


    Total purse for an AJ vs Wilder fight would be what? £30 mil max.
