The Wilder Excuses Begin

[Memphis]

Ignore what Wilder has earned because it serves no purpose, it's no yardstick. What AJ has earned is though.

Where are you getting this $100m number from?

Maybe it's accurate, maybe it isn't. Good reason to negotiate percentages instead of dollar figures.

I don't have a problem with that, that's Wilder's decision to make.

What I'm struggling with is the premise that $12.5m represents a derisory offer that's closer to 20% than it is 40%.

I spoke to a Kiwi guy I used to work with yesterday about this and he was in the 'Wilder isn't getting paid enough' camp. His basis, Parker got 13 million, Wilder should get more. Fuck off did Parker get 13 million I say. Yeah.....yeah......13 million New Zealand Dollars!!

Now I'm not suggesting anyone here is that stupid, but it does highlight the point that numbers are being thrown about with little care or thought.

There seems to be this idea that the fight is worth vastly more than it actually is and no one wants to say where that money is coming from. Master will but he just makes up nonsense.

Looks like AJ has been reading my posts. “If Team Wilder think it’s a $100million fight, MAKE A COUNTER OFFER!”

Wilder should carry on defending his title and just continue to make noise to irritate AJ and Eddie.

Eventually everyone will pressurise AJ to accept the fight and pay Wilder more than they really want.

AJ will get bored of mandatories and poor defences no matter how sky sells it.

Dude seriously you cant be saying this shit with a straight face, tell me you're on a massive wind up?

I am very serious. It is high stakes poker.

And you know about high stakes poker now, like you do about assessing the value of a fight.

The thing that is annoying me is that both camps are discussing it differently, AJ is offering a money up front deal Wilder is requesting a % split.

We can only speculate on how much the fight will make so when we are talking in percentages it is sheer guess work.

why doesnt Eddie say we are offering £12m which we believe is equal to a 25% split"

Why doesn't Wilder say "we will accept a 40/60 split which we believe is equal to £30m"

I know that as fans we have no right to concern themselves with the financials during negotiations but it would be interesting to see just how far apart they both actually are.
