Thing is he was offered 40% before the Fury rematch and his response was he didn't care what Hearn offered, not even 50% was going to get him to fight anyone else but Fury.

As for what Joshua was getting, Hearn said in a recent interview Wilder was basically getting 50% of the US pot for that DAZN deal. Now of course Joshua would likely make $20-30 mill plus from UK and overseas rights on top of that. So you're looking at a 60/40 to 70/30 kind of split.

Also what is Wilder doing to make the fight right now? Answer, nothing, no counter offer, no real negotiations, not willing to budge from 50/50 in US, on a Showtime/PBC card. Joshua has now seemingly agreed the first fight happens in the US, he's made numerous offers, each one better than the last, Hearn has tried setting up meetings only for Finkel not the show up. When one side is doing all the work and the other is doing nothing but talk, then it's pretty clear only one side wants the fight.
