The Wilder Excuses Begin

[Ron Swanson]

Don't feel like reading all of this and all the articles. Was the offer of 88 million plus upside for AJ and 12 million flat for Wilder the only offer?

Certainly possible, saw it multiple places but it could be everyone regurgitating the same bad info.

Let me ask the question a different way, what offers have been made?

You must have read something on the matter. Else how did you also come up with this nonsense $100m number?

Didn't read a thing, there's just a bunch of boxing channels saying these numbers. I don't doubt they're wrong that's why I'm trying to find out what offers have been made.

FTR I think this fight makes far more than 100 million. But after TV companies take their splits 100 million did seem a dangerous guarantee

[Beanz]

It seems nobody but Eddie has said anything? No yay, nay or even counter offer from Wilder

[powerpuncher]

It has definitely gone quiet...

[powerpuncher]

A lot of times quiet is a good thing though

How do you figure it makes far more than 100 million? And what TV splits are you talking about?

Well, getting 50 million in PPV in USA is rather easy, less than 1 million buys. I would imagine the biggest heavyweight fight since 2003 tops 1 million buys. Wilder has gotten great ratings for years fighting bums.

We keep hearing about all this UK money so if it is what it is billed to be one would expect the more popular AJ to produce equal buy money or greater in the UK.

Add sponsors, TV rights around the world, gate and this pushes well past 100 million.

Not sure how UK TV money is split but in the US the providers take half.

Hearn and AJ said in an IFL interview today that if they were offered 50 million from Wilder for the fight (flat fee) they would take it.

Hearn also said that he believes the flat fee offer he made Wilder was 30 - 35% and claims his calculations are usually very accurate.

In my opinion Wilder should take the offer. Hes not bringing the crowd, TV deals or the money.

[Ron Swanson]

What was the flat fee offered, the rumored 12 million?

Feel like I’m trying to get juice from a stone 😂

That's just Eddie chatting shit, if he believed that the flat offer was going to be 30/35% then he would have offered 30/35% because that would have sounded more attractive
