Joshua Shamelessly Ducks Wilder. Refuses to give him 50%. Disgrace.

Some people try and blame Wilder by pointing out his biggest purse is 5% of Joshua's and has only one belt and is less famous. But that shit ain't the truth. If Joshua was true champion why ain't he fought in America yet? Scared. Just as Wilder says. True champion would give Wilder the money he demands. Fact.

Does it mean Wilder is now the BESTESTIST ?

It probably should be 50/50. I get that AJ can outsell Wilder, but Wilder has proven to be a legitimate fighter that has a real chance to beat AJ. I don’t really see either being the champion over the other. Them fighting each other is the only way to settle it.

Agreed. It should be 50:50. It's not Wilder's fault the Brits will watch any old fight and fill a stadium. It's Toryism to think 'I'm the man, I deserve lots of money!' The other fighter is a champ too and is risking his life. Be a gentleman and give him his share.

Disagree.

60-40..possibly 55-45?

Who has x2 belts?

Who sells out stadiums?

I have no idea who is the best out of these two fighters but when it comes down to business, it's pretty obvious that AJ is the bigger name.

[Primo Carnera]

unfortunately this is how it is. on one hand Wilder is saying "give me this , give me that." and yeah, it's a unification between the top 2 in the division , so fair enough.
on the other hand , Joshua could say to Wilder "ok , YOU GIVE ME 30 million!" because that's what he would probably earn over here.
and that's without even discussing Where the fight would be held.
I'm not saying it's right or fair, but the reality is either Joshua gets a bigger slice of the pie and home advantage or It just doesn't happen.

[brocktonblockbust]

To take less than 50% for either one of them is humiliating. It seems that 50/50 is the best way to go here. Of course Joshua can sell more tickets.

[Dannl99]

Give him the 50/50 split. Joshua will make way more money anyway from his sponsors and broadcasting deals.
