Remember when all the Wilder fans were like "why do you care what AJ gets paid"

He didn't turn down the derisory offer(which he would have been well within his right to) , he accepted it and then Eddie Hearn kept changing the clauses and adding in new impediments in the contract so Wilder's camp were left with no choice but to walk away from the deal.

Those impediments were things as Wilder having to wait a year to fight Jenner, no rematch clause and no rights to profits from tickets and ppv sales. No champion in their right mind would/should be expected to accept such a deal.

These kind of low ball offers are made to be turned down. It's called ducking. Canelo tried the same nonsense with GGG when he threw an offer of 10 million flat fee to him. He held out for the purse split and recieved 30 million.

Marquez: Canelo's Flat Fee Offer is a Way To Avoid Golovkin!

They are really punishing Gennady Golovkin [by offering a flat fee] .... because it's just a way to avoid to Golovkin, it's a way of saying we do not want the fight. We are not going to pay you that much, would you like to accept it?" Go ahead. Logically they can generate $200 or 300 million [from the pay-per-view event], which is just an estimate," Marquez told Golpe a Golpe.

So why don't you tell us a time in a unification bout where the champion accepted a flat fee?

I have no problem with Wilder turning down the flat fee offer, ive always said he should demand a percentage split. But he has turned down the percentage split and shut the door on Hearn and Joshua. Wilder is the one who said he would not fight Joshua next year not the other way round.

Hearns offer to Wilder - not great but are willing to negotiate further.

Wilders offer to Joshua - Never existed on paper. Its no good Frank Warren or somobodies Lawyer saying they saw it, Joshua and Hearn needed to see it. And now the doors been shut on them.
