    ??????? There's more fighters in QF stage, post the numbers or there's no point talking about QFs.

    SF: 4.8mill / 4 fighters= 1.2 mill average
    QF: 14.2mill/ 8 fighters= 1.775 mill average

    No you assumed something about 25$ mil and went with it. If that's the case then final 4 fighters will get paid even more than what I posted. You make more as you further in the tournament.

    Wilder couldn't enter this tournament because he is too big..

    He had a chance to make 4million fighting Whyte so now Big Daddy is going to do it for 300K....

    It has been widely reported the WBSS has $50mill total prize pool over the two tournaments?

    Unless you can confirm cruiserweight is getting less than 50% (25mill) of the pot?

    Yes the numbers appear too low for the final, especially considering Schaefer said the winners will make $10mill+

    We'll find out when we get to that point but until then we can only guess.

    Hang on, wait, gimme a minute..

    So the winner of this WBSS will have a bigger career payday than Wilder has ever had?

    Wilder has been WBC Champion for how long? How many defences?



    If that's the case then it's no surprise he is embarrassing and degrading himself begging for that AJ payday.

    Why is anyone surprised, the winner of the tourney will be a unified champ

    The HW equivalent there is Joshua and his purse dwarfs theirs

    Wilder is the true paper champion of the HWs

    He cannot even earn more than the top CW.

    Perhaps Deontay should try signing for a unification fight and proving himself? Or he could just continue fighting bums...

    Not sure which one from those 2 he chooses.

    I hear Dustin Nicholls is available.

    Let's hope, after all..... we are talking about having to win 3 matches against the elite of your division.

    I'm pretty sure Wilder would bag around 10 Mill if he fought Parker, Joshua and Fury back to back to back as well.

    He'd bag far more than that. Parker is reportedly getting over $10M for the Joshua fight alone.

    Lol Dino ain't so bad, he used to be one of the worst poster on here but we've now got quite a few members that make him look like a fricken genius or who are so bad tempered and insulting I actually think Dino is pretty average now in regards to the standard of post being put out on this forum. My god that's a depressing realisation.

    Yeah I know, but I was trying to avoid the wrath of AJ fanboys and start some lame brained argument over Wilder's worth.
