The_budweiser Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 "AJ v Wilder the biggest fight in the HW division. They will BOTH make more than each ever has... because they BOTH bring a level of interest to match. It’s what fans want to see. Negotiations should reflect that! I would say 60-40 split in AJ favour at Wembley for first fight!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Re: Do you agree with Lennox Lewis? Wilder 40-60 AJ split --- Lewie the world' biggest party pooper jealous that Josh has already exceeded his career earnings and already unified. Deyonce holds25% of the titles, so 25-75 fair but for nobody knows who he is outside of boxing, the reason he makes peanuts on the dollar to what Josh makes.

selij Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Re: Do you agree with Lennox Lewis? Wilder 40-60 AJ split AJ earns more off his underwear deal in 6mths than fatty Lewis earned in his whole life. The reason he says that is because the WBC strap is still the Holy Grail and Deyonce is destined to be losing it and his lifestyle to boot. Without a rematch clause 60:40 is about right. With? Gotta be much, much less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Re: Do you agree with Lennox Lewis? Wilder 40-60 AJ split I could not give a shit about how much money two millionaires want to fight over - Wilder and co. said they'd accepted he wouldn't earn 50/50 so that's fine, but they should get the fucking fight signed and stop wasting time - the sooner I've seen Wilder v Joshua and Wilder/Joshua v Fury, the sooner I can leave boxing to rot in its own idiocy.

BoztheMadman Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Re: Do you agree with Lennox Lewis? Wilder 40-60 AJ split AJ has three belts, Wilder one-simple as that. A guy with only one belt cannot expect to earn as much as the guy with three. So I'd say...70-30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fight has value because of both of them though - Joshua can make a vanload of cash for any fight, but neither can make the kind of money this fight generates without the other. The risks are the same for both fighters, so the reward should be roughly equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua's not risking anything Wilder isn't, so they should be treated roughly equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartass Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Re: Do you agree with Lennox Lewis? Wilder 40-60 AJ split In a word No, he tries his best to rationalise his thoughts through social media but just comes across as a loudmouth with no balls. Wilder brings a lot less to the table, its embarassing that he throws 50 million dollar contracts at Hearn for him to blindly sign and yet turns down a guaranteed walk away 15 million pound contract that is more than three times what he has earned before. I reckon AJ should walk on by and stop wasting his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cast of Friends had never earned any serious money before Friends, but if you're an essential part of something that's going to produce 100 million or whatever, it's not unreasonable to say "I want more than 15%" Joshua makes serious money, yes, but the biggest purse is from the Wilder fight.

LondonRingRules Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Re: Do you agree with Lennox Lewis? Wilder 40-60 AJ split --- Based on previous earnings, Deyonce should be earning 5-95. Josh is incrementally better known in the US than Deyonce, so really, the US market for the fight is unknown. You want to assume the unproven to make an equitable purse? Good luck with that in the fight biz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair few pubs do fillet steak, but I've never seen t-bone/Porterhouse. That may be my culinary conservatism though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Harris Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Re: Do you agree with Lennox Lewis? Wilder 40-60 AJ split There are many ways to look at a possible Joshua-Wilder split. But 60/40 Joshua's way is probably about right in my opinion and I think arguments Wilder should only receive a small percentage are ill founded, at least while Wilder holds the belt that Joshua coverts anyway.
