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

[Gandalf]

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.

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.

AJ is the draw and becoming very well known to the American audience from what I see. For a guy who's had his last 2,3 ? 'mega fights' fall apart and is now lined up to face guys AJ knocked out a year + ago Wilder should be offering whatever it takes to force AJ into a showdown, not setting up fake loopholes to fight another stool warmer. Not saying he should take a suckers cut but for as confident as he is with his Tyson like *spit take* one hit bricks he can consider it an investment.

Wilder knows this could be his last big fight at the top and wants to get properly compensated for the loss. It is not an investment but a pension.

[Alpha]

With Ortiz and Povtekin back in the mix Wilders time may be running out. He wants that money before they catch up with him.

[palmerq]

Wladimir gave 50/50 splits to hate and ibragimov to make sure the unification fights happened, not completely relevant but wotever......

[Ron Swanson]

AJ definitely deserves more and a fair share more but I don’t understand those saying he is getting a following in the USA. He could get a following if he made the big fights, but he doesn’t currently have one, his numbers have been terrible.

Parker’s team says they offered 65 to AJ and a rematch clause for him and they wouldn’t take that either. Which, good, nobody cares about Parker, but it shows Wilder isn’t the only one struggling to come to terms with AJs people.

50/50 doesn’t work, what is the counter offer? If you don’t hear the counter offer someone is being sneaky. I’m genuinely asking, what is the counter offer? I haven’t heard one
