    If not then what is the point in anybody from team Joshua even talking about this fight? We are fans we dont care about the money but the reality is it is a massive sticking point.

    Wilder has been very vocal and drumming up this fight big time but facts are facts and they had to give tickets away to his last fight which was by far his biggest fight of his career. Facts were facts when Mayweather negotiated, facts were facts when Canelo fights so nothing changes just cuz its a British guy.

    Hearn is playing the same game with Wilder and Finkel and who ever else has a finger in the Wilder pie as he did with Parker and Higgins, they demanded a bit too much "OR NO FIGHT" and Hearn just turned the other way and said fine, who else is out there. They soon changed their minds. So were just waiting on Wilder and the fingers that are in him to stop being greedy and still make more money than they have ever earned.

    I want this fight, Joshua smashes that idiot.

    35-40% is more than fair for Wilder.

    hahaha he doesn't even deserve 20 percent

    Wilders biggest payday is 2 mill

    Joshuas lowest payday is 15 mill

    He already backed down. He said he’d take whatever split Hearn would give him but in a rematch he would receive the percentage Joshua received in the first fight. The caveat being Wilder would have to beat Joshua in the first fight to get that percentage. Hearn said he agrees to that but said Wilder has to call him instead of trying to use the media to negotiate. Hopefully Joshua beats Parker and Wilder listens to Hearns advice and actually calls him.

    Hearn was on video discussing this last week.

    Wilder Tweeted that he’d accept any split for the first fight just as long as he gets the same split in his favour for a rematch.

    To which Hearn said “DONE”

    Let’s get it signed

    No way. Joshua didn’t start making 8 figure paydays until he beat Klitchko. For Michael Sprott, AJ’s purse was $500k

    AJ is the top dog in the heavyweight title purse stakes, that is to date fact
    Even if Wilder were to only get 35% and AJ got 65%, Wilder would be getting a purse many multiples of what he has ever earned.
    Now Wilder says he is confident of beating AJ, so accept the 35%, beat AJ and then you will be king of the castle, king of the purses, surely it is a no brainer.
    Mr Wilder time to speculate to accumulate, if you really want the fight, if you really are confident.
