This is the first time in his boxing career where he has made that kind of money according to Forbes from June 2018 to June 2019. He has apparently made $30 million from his fights with Fury and Brazeale. Forbes is a reliable source. Glad to see the Bronze Bomber get his dues without AJ for a change.
Yet you still get office workers and basement dwelling Matchroom weirdo virgins on this forum mocking Wilder for his multimillion pound purses acting like they benefit from Joshua’s earnings and vehemently arguing like gossiping queens why Wilder should get a certain percentage split in a fight with Joshua.
Apparently AJ made $55 million in the same year but $10 million was from sponsorships and endorsements, his boxing purses were $45 million. Wilders boxing purses were $30 million but his endorsements were $500k
For me his take home is what matters. From this purse, he is taxes to the federal, state govt and county, his promoter, his trainer, support staff etc
He made 10 mil from the Breazeale fight, which is bonkers. And the Fury fight generated about 24mil in PPV revenue. So how did he end up with 30? Not saying the numbers is off, I am just curious. Fury gate was decent, so there is that. And foreign rights.
It was reported he made $10 million vs Fury and $20 million against Brazeale. His purses are progressively going up with every bout. From $2.5 million vs Ortiz to $10 million against Fury to $20 million against Brazeale What will his next purse be? Wilder is finally making it
Purse for the Fury fight was said to be $14 million for Wilder and $10 million for Fury before they split the ppv revenue share, which would’ve been $12 mil between the two of them. $14 mil + $6 mil + $10 mil = $30 mil
To be honest that $100 million offer included two fights with AJ. Wilder had to take care of Brazzeale and AJ had to take care of Ruiz. We are all seeing how that turned out. No guarantee DAZN would have paid him that kind of money against non AJ opponents
