Eddie Hearn confirms Wilder did ask for "50/50" split.

What should Wilder have asked for , a 75/25 split? Hearns would have countered at
90/10.

I see some of you guys never learned negotiating skills. Apparently neither has Wilders' team because I would have asked for 75 for my guy, then work my way downwards.

 

No dude...even better, ask for +105/-5 split then work your way down to 100/0 in Wilder's favor.
That's how @MVC! Would have done it if he was Wilder's promoter.

 

Wilder should have asked from 110- minus 10 split in his favour and demand Wembley be relocated brick by brick to Tuscaloosa to have the fight there.

Then negotiate down from there, that would put him in a strong position

 

I've never heard of you, but Gee Thanks!

 

Oh come on...now you're just being silly!

Even I know you can't got over 100 percent. Unless you're an athlete who says he's giving 110%.

 

I would have gotten it!! They would have had to pay me extra to take the fight!

 

You're wrong. I'm not driven by emotion at all.
I'm simply talking business.
Don't assume I'm a fan of Joshua and Hearn because I'm definitely not. I think Hearn is an arrogant ***** and I'd laugh if (when) Joshua gets beat by someone unexpectedly.

I'm talking business.
It should be fairly simple to understand.

Yes, and you're looking at it backwards.
It's Wilder who should be trying to fight the best. Actually making practical moves in that direction. Not just shouting about it.
Joshua already has a very good record for a 20-0 fighter AND he draws huge money. There's no desperation on Joshua's part.
Wilder is the older man, been a pro 4 or 5 years longer, and has had almost twice as many fights .... and still draws peanuts.

Therefore, IN THE REAL WORLD, Wilder should be making the financial effort.
Wilder should either be prepared to take a realistic short end OR he needs to get himself a promoter/broadcasters who can and will back him in REAL TERMS, ie. promote the event and GUARANTEE Joshua a huge payday equal or beyond what Hearn thinks he can deliver if left in charge of his schedule.

Instead, Wilder and his camp are just saying "gimme the fight and gimme 50% split" ....

Think about it.
Joshua is being offered 50% of a Deontay Wilder fight.
A fight that Joshua's promoter wasn't even planning to have right now.

Of course, from Wilder's side, he's asking for 50% of an AJ fight. Which is a lot of money whoever AJ fights.

 

Let me try that through his twitter account lol

 

Well said but I suspect the "I WANT IT NOW!!!!" crowd don't understand that these guys are in it to make money and I'd imagine Eddie Hearn knows far more about promoting than any one on this forum..

Honestly why would AJ take a fight for no more money than he could earn against any bum to face "the most feared heavyweight on the planet (tmfhwotp)"???

Seems pretty stupid for me... Now if "tmfhwotp" was willing to make it worth while then I'm sure the fight would go ahead..

Tmfhwotp is the one desperate for the fight now so I'd imagine he would be the one making concessions...

 

They should rename Wembley stadium to Wilder stadium! Come on, we all know who the REAL champ is

 

You ignored the question because there has never been an example in recent history where delaying a fight was a good thing.
If I wanted to see Spence fight Thurman next , would you say - hold up , let either Spence or Keith go and beat Horn first , that way they'll make the fight bigger and pocket more money in the process.

I doubt you would , but that's exactly what you and all the rest of the clowns sound like when you argue why this fight should be delayed.
I understand Hearns perspective fully but it still doesn't mean im going to defend it. If all his casual followers back him up then it puts no pressure on him to make the fight. Wilder has fought enough bum fights , its time this guy finally puts himself to the test and no better time than now - as in anytime next year.

At the end of the day you are a Wilder hater and are a Hearn bumboy. You have assumed allegiance to one side and you will defend that side no matter what , even if it means arguing why a big fight should be delayed. That is utterly pathetic in my eyes.

 

Lmao what nonsense. I gave you an example as requested which you conveniently ignored it.

I've said before I have no problem with Wilder being next in other threads. Look at the Joshua/Miller thread I clearly say it's not the fight I would of liked to see. I want to see Joshua unify next as much as anyone, but I don't care whether it's Wilder or Parker both are equally deserving in my opinion. But I guess you'll conveniently ignore this too.

Just because I don't agree with your opinion that makes me a bumboy as you put it right? Wow that's a leap. I don't think your a Wilder bumsquadboy just because you believe Wilder needs to be next or Joshua is ducking. That's your view and that's fine, I don't agree with it, just like you don't agree with my view. But the difference is i'll refrain from the assumptions and insults to attempt to prove my point.

You can't pick apart my argument so you try and attack me to make my opinion less valid. That's sad, like Trump screaming fake news lol. Can't argue against the facts so tries and discredits the messenger, smh.

 

I have no problem with the negotiation starting at a 50/50 split.

The question is what was the counter Hearns gave in response to the 50/50?

 

Yeah me neither, 60/40 and the fight gets made in my opinion. This 80/20 is taking the **** and Wilder should never accept that on sheer principle.

 

This is Wilders way of getting out of the fight, but hoping to get credit as if he actually wanted to fight

Windmill is a slow witted Clown.


But the sad part is some people actually believe he really does want the AJ fight
