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

[Ron Swanson]

So nobody here has heard what Hearn is offering, Wilder has been public, Parker has been public, but you trust the guy that is always talking to the media but won’t say what he is offering? Think about that for a minute people

FTR I don’t care about Parker and don’t think Wilder deserves more than 40%(only due to his being the 2nd highest rated premium network fighter and AJ having terrible numbers). Just don’t trust someone who is always talking but won’t disclose his offers.

[Kirkland Laing]

They're negotiating. We're only getting one side of the negotiations. It'll happen eventually because Wilder wants the payday and it'll be about 60-40 to Joshua and it'll be in the UK because even Wilder wants it where it makes the most money. Wilder just better hope he doesn't lose in the meantime and his right hand holds up.

Good point. The truth is out there. Trust no one.

Hearn doesn't have to tell anyone what he's offering. Do you go round telling everyone what you earn or how much you give your missus for housekeeping? Infact, Parker and Wilder shouting off about what they've been offered makes the deal less likely.
If Parker or Wilder don't like the deal on offer, MAKE JOSHUA AN OFFER! But we know that's not gonna happen don't we?
None of These fighters are ducking each other, none of them are scared. It's just about Boxing politics, money and business.
If you had a business partnership with someone and generated 80% of the income, but were paid 50/50, it won't work for very long will it?

It strikes me that Wilder is really such a poor boxer, with nothing to attract a UK audience if he fights AJ here (or even in the US), that its not worth the risk for Hearn against a nutjob slugger. If he were to lose such a fight the title would be 'claimed' by US promoters who would just put Wilder or his successor up against stiffs, inside the US, forever, familiar? Hearn, Warren and Saurland can make better money out of keeping the title, or some titles, over here, and controlling the titles from within their own base in Europe, just like the Klits did. Sad but true but that is obviously the business side of it, unfortunately Joshua versus Chisora would probably give AJ as big a payday as Wilder. As I say sad but true, but that is business/politics. On the boxing side of it I think Joshua, Fury, Chisora, Price, White all have a good chance of beating Wilder, even Haye knows him well! I guess the intention is to keep him at arms length until his bubble bursts next year when the next US heavyweight hope schools him.

Some people try and blame Wilder by pointing out his biggest purse is 5% of Joshua's and has only one belt and is less famous. But that shit ain't the truth. If Joshua was true champion why ain't he fought in America yet? Scared. Just as Wilder says. True champion would give Wilder the money he demands. Fact.

How is Wilder less popular than Joshua?

Because he's been promoted and managed poorly. And also because the Americans (quite rightly) set high standards about who they are going to hype up.

Ha! the most hilarious thing about this post is that I think you actually believe it
