No way would I take 12.5 million. This fight could make well over 100 million. They should at lease get 35 million each. Bowe made 15 million for the Holyfield 2. that was 25 years ago.
I understand but I guess it depends on whether he thinks that AJ will ever fight him. That’s why I would force a rematch clause and to get the bigger cut if he wins the first fight. Either way he will get a nice pay day.

I have been saying that AJ and his team has been ducking Wilder. I’m just not sure if Hearn will allow AJ to risk a loss without making a huge amount of money. That’s why he wants AJ to get such a big cut.
