Think he's talking about the tax in the UK. The rich get hit with a fifty percent supertax. If you make that money in the UK....say he gets 15 million for the fight. They take fifty percent off the top. That 15 millions...only really 7.5 million after tax anyway. No too sure how the tax works in america. But if your earning big money in the UK you,ll find yourself in the super tax bracket. Don't think it as easy to hide a lump sum of money like that...cause they take it off the top.
The fight does not do 1 million PPV buys in the US that is the problem. Wilder has done 1 PPV and it sounds like it sold 300k with a very good salesman in Fury. Why would Wilder vs AJ do 3x that?
Olympic gold medalist, great promotion, media darling and the vast majority of Brits get behind our athletes and sports teams even if they know very litttle about the sport. Anthony Joshua is basically a national icon right now. He’d fill Wembley against an unknown fighter at this point
First , someone had to explain to Wilder that a salary cap isn't a baseball hat. Second, he doesn't generate significant money , he could fight at a car wash and if he made over 2.1 million he should be happy so he has no business discussing Joshuas ceiling for revenue which is over 20 million fighting anyone he wants.
No-one rich actually pays the top rate of income tax. Anthony Joshua purses go through Sparta Promotions Ltd. Tyson Fury's purses go through Tyson Fury Ltd. Limited Company's pay a tax rate of 19% on profits. Not close to 50%.
Wilder needs to release those official PPV figures before he mentions Joshua and salary caps. Spence makes more money then Wilder - he needs to relax with any sort of money talk.
You underestimate how bad we want to see that fight over here..even the wilder/fury rematch will at minimum do 600k.. the buzz after that fight has been great.. Americans enjoy a good Heavyweight fight and most know that AJ fight would mean absolute HW supremacy for the winner..
Wilder is not that bright, this is something Finkel told him to parot every time he gets a chance. Also he's not a draw and doesnt need to worry about hitting any caps.
Kind of like a lad who has never drank before worrying that the bar will run out of beer before his drunk.
When I think of a British cap its something like this: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/...37f8/484f7e7d-a2a0-4ea6-b8d1-e5629cc77813.jpg Maybe that's what Wilder means? He likes British caps?
Wilder's not the sharpest knife the drawer, even by Alabaman standards. Analysing what he says is as pointless as analysing a Trump tweet.
Hearns is the one that needs head exam because he says wilder vs fury ppv buy rate of 325k is horrible in which he brag about whyte vs Parker PPV buy rate was way better. Well somebody explain to that idiot that whyte vs Parker in the UK ppv was around I think 20 UK bucks to order the fight while wilder vs fury ppv order is 75 bucks? LMFAO You UK fans are something else forgetting to mention real facts lol.
Didn't actually know that tazz. Always thought it was a stumbling block to getting american fighters to travel. Typical from the rich...make a supertax but then leave loopholes open to let them avoid paying it. In that case I,ve no idea what wilders on about talking of a wage cap.
Why are US ppv's 75 bucks for a Wilder fight and why brag about it? its horrible. Is it coz hordcore's are locked into the sport so will buy it regardless and that they know not so many US "casuals" would even be interested at a reasonable rate so they don't even both trying to market to them? blows my mind, no wonder dedicated boxing subscription services see a potential niche. Hearn's buy rate means more market exposure for the boxer meaning more commercial/ sponsors knocking on the door. But i could have that wrong. Is Wilder earning more outside boxing than AJ (salary cap in effect)?? Worth pointing out Hearn raised the uk PPV to £20 (and took the flack for it) and BT (competitor) have just jumped in at that price.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. You still have to pay tax on what you take as income (salary or dividends) from the company.
