    Joshua had 2 belts vs Parker's 1 belt and Wilder's 1 belt.

    Now Joshua has 3 of the 4 (75%).

    Joshua had 66% split vs Parker (brought 2 of the 3 belts to the table for fight), but now he has another belt. Wilder only has a 25% portion of the heavyweight titles, that's his split. Joshua's value has increased by adding Parker's belt.

    Let’s be honest boxing is business .. belts are just some made up things. What matters is the numbers £

    Also, Parker is a PPV fighter in his own country and Wilder is not.

    Wilder deserves a lot less than Parker.

    Joshua
    Olympic gold medalist.
    4 world titles.
    Beat 5 top ten fighters.
    Beat a all time great.

    Wilder
    Lost at the olympics.
    1 minor title.
    Beat 1 top ten heavyweight that was over the hill.

    Because Wilder vs Joshua is a much bigger fight than Parker. And it crowns the winner the first undisputed champ since Lewis. . Wilder brings in more revenue than Parker therefore he gets a higher split. Its as simple as that.

    I cant really disagree with the 25% split. Wilder may bring in more revenue. I dont know if he does or doesnt as so many posters on here tell me boxing is dead in America and that all their best athletes go into baseball etc and that there is no interest. Is that proven.
    Joshua does have more to risk and Wilder wont be risking anymore than any of his other title fights
    3 belts to 1 is 75% to 25% and Joshua is the money man in a big way

    More than $0 which is the amount Wilder brings in terms of PPV buys because he's not a PPV fighter - get it?

    Whyte is top 10, Breazeale is top 10, Takam is top 10, Martin was top 10, Klitschko was back at 2 after the Joshua loss, Parker is top 10.
    Very impressive for so few fights

    How do you know Parker was making more for those fights than Wilder was? How much did PPVs against Kaganu and Tatum earn him?

    Exactly, and Wilder fought a average looking fighter that was off his PED’s for his first fight in years.

    I see Wilder fans lack basic logic.

    The point not what either fighter was making, but how much they were bringing in by PPV buys.

    Wilder brings in $0 PPV buys because he's not a PPV fighter.
