What was your source?

ESPN (quoted in the opening post here) is very reliable.
Not familiar with ESPN it seems. People look thirsty trying to spin this. He’ll get 10+ million for this fight and then AJ can’t offer a flat fee with no venue, no date again. Or really not offer. The whole world saw what happened except the UK it seems. When people disagree with you 100 to 1 you probably should reconsider your stance. If Wilder wins emphatically and it does 500k PPV sales at 74.95 he is looking at 50/50 at worst. The negotiations went exactly as Eddie wanted. I can show him saying exactly that he didn’t want it until Spring 2019 at the earliest long ago.

There is no way Wilder gets fifty percent of a Joshua fight unless Haymon puts up some astronomical purse to try and buy the title and gives Wilder half of it. The economics and the relative earning power of the two fighters (not even going into the alphabet belts or the lineal title) mean that Joshua gets the lion's share.
