    One of them will lose, guaranteed.

    Then they will bill it as the usual.

    These two should have fought each other blah blah blah, but they couldn't come to terms etc etc etc.

    Now the fight is even bigger because we know he has been knocked out and he still wants the fight, they have to fight it is inevitable that they do.
    It is a great fight, please please please pretty please keep on paying for them, even the loser he deserves another massive payday because it is that good of a fight...

    It will happen one day and it will be under these circumstances, because the fans deserve it...

    Nope.
    A side doesn't give up the home court advantage. It's not how it works in the boxing business

    Yeah, but that's not really relevant here. Let's say Color McGregor could get 3m to fight whomever in UFC

    If Floyd offered him 15m, should he take it? No way

    He got close to 100m from that fight alone.

    It's about potential earnings , you don't just compare it with past earnings. That's real business

    But this fight isnt Floyd Conor. 15 million guarantee to Wilder is like 30 percent of the pot, plus upside.
    Conor and Floyd were both MEGA SUPER STARS. Wilder has never fought a PPV and AJ never in the US. poor comparison bro

    Wilder`s smart move in not signing the contract he has in his possession has guaranteed him $0. Man you have to admire his business acumen!

    I mean who wants $15M when you can not sign and have $0. Man that Wilder is a smart guy.

    It's the principle, no one said this fight was exactly like that one, I'm using it as an example that past/present earnings does not dictate what you should/shouldn't accept for a potentially mega deal.

    The fact that Wilder's people offered Joshua 50 m tells us that this fight will be huge and they believe this fight will do some great numbers.

    15 million dollars in an 80+ million dollar fight potentially isn't 30%, sorry.

    This is certainly no way of doing business, if I made a deal like this for the company I'm at- I would be fired on the spot.

    Doesn't work that way pal, this fight is marinating, both guys will easily make more than 30+ m when it's all said and done. Not 15

    It’s Deontay sir, his name is Deontay. Show some civil kinship to a man that can make your nose bleed with just the wind produced by his windmills

    If you really want the fight, I mean really want it and you genuinely believe you'll win 9 times out of 10 it will get made because you'll be willing to take a deal that you might not want but will accept just to get the fight.

    For example, if AJ really wanted it and really thought he'd win he would accept the 50 million offer, go to the states and punch Wilder to pieces in front of the US fans and go home laughing with all the belts and fulfill his dream.

    Easy money right?

    And the same for Wilder, he'd take his % or flat $15 million whatever, come over here knock AJ spark out, go home with all the belts, fulfill his dream also knowing he is now BIG TIME and if AJ wants the rematch then he'll have to pay LARGE.

    Easy money right?


    So in my opinion they both don't really want it and both don't have full confidence in themselves.
