Deontay W deserves at least 40%

If Wilder knows business he would have already signed the damn contract.

 

4 belts (WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF) = 100% undisputed
Joshua has 3 so thats 75%
Wilder has 1 so thats 25%

Had Wilder beat Tyson Fury, then I would totally understand the Bomb Squads request of 40%. Joshua has more belts and has no losses or draws. 25-30% is fair for Wilder IMO

 

He obviously fancies his shot at Fury over AJ but even against Fury, all he has is that right hand, it's going to be even more difficult to hit a increasingly mobile (maybe even this time 100%) Tyson Fury. It's a very big "IF"
And if he loses that strap, then AJ will never likely offer 40% again, It's a huge offer IMO.

I'd like to think there will be a scenario where all the top names face each other eventually, here's hoping!

 

If hWilderKOs Fury he should get 50%. If he loses to Fury he should not fight Joshua at all. Instead there should be Fury vs Joshua and it should be 50% for each.

 

Why would Joshua agree to giving them the same money when he brings 3 belts and the big money to the fight. Be honest if you was in Joshua’s positions would you give them $10m of your own money?

 

I agree with this also considering Joshua brings in 75% of the money to the table. However Wilder is in a good negotiating position and can therefore attract a higher offer. Which at 40% is an amazing offer. If he doesn’t take it he’s ducking Joshua. No excuses. Only other thing is if Haymon is selling him a dream of being a PPV star in the long term. But the guys 33 years old needs to beat the best to be the best.

 

I think Wilder being a US PPV star kinda imploded with the one-sided schooling he received by Fury on Showtime PPV. Also they barely sold 300k PPVs -- and that's with Fury, a very good talker. If they rematched Louis Ortiz they'd make 80k PPV. Wilder is simply not a draw.

 

Wilder knows what he deserves and 40% is being more than generous. Finkel and Warren had their attempt at proving they were just as much big sellers than Joshua in their fight and they failed, it did good numbers for Wilders 1st PPV but it didnt do even close enough for the Joshua split argument.

But to be honest i think Wilder and Finkel and the rest of his managers know this and the hefty demands and loss of pen and refusal to respond to Hearn or refusal to have anything to do with that fight is all part of the duck plan, they just dont want it. I have no problem with Wilder taking on Fury rematch rather than fight Joshua but they are doing the same thing they did last year when both fighters were free to negotiate, they went silent and refused to deal with Eddie Hearn or Joshua and just ignored phone calls and emails until it was too late. Deal with the Fury fight but atleast respond to Hearn, get a ball rolling for a summer fight maybe? Who knows? What i do know is if you refuse to talk, email or anything then that is a fight that is never going to get made.

It was all messy for a bit, they pushed a good narrative and played the game but eventually reality and truth gets through the narratives and tall tales and it is as clear as day this is nothing more than a long running duck from team Wilder. Sit back and look at it, look at it piece by piece, look at the time lines of who tried what, who said what, who refused what and why and this is nothing more than a big messy duck.

 

Fury is scared of getting KO'd by Wilder. A rematch will never happen.

 

Why would he be? Wilder couldnt do it last time and unlike Fury Wilder wont be coming in to any rematch a better Boxer than he was before it. Fury will be lighter, fitter and sharper than he was. Also with Fury being very smart he will of learnt plenty from the 1st fight where as Wilder blames magic and racism for not winning last time and just thinks "i will get him next time" which is a terrible way to think when you just got schooled and were very lucky to escape with a robbery draw.

If Wilder had ever shown in his 41 fight that he can take stuff from a fight and learn and develop and change and have a plan B then id take your Fury scared comment a bit more seriously but Wilder will be just as **** in the rematch and will be hoping to land a lucky punch like he has done in his last 10 fights.
