Eddie Hearn Offers Wilder $12.5M flat.

[billeau2]

Why would he accept it when he knows Hearn will make a better offer?

And as we often say in Real Estate whats the harm in asking? I mean behind closed doors a negotiator from each side can sit in and try to move the goal posts... Worse case scenario the A side gives a slight incentive to close the deal... Wilder feels like he got something and the deal basically gets made. Best case scenario Wilder gets a much better deal.

Is there a rematch clause in this deal? thats important. And if it were me I would want some percentage of the take... That would be my two points. But I don't claim to be a sports negotiator lol.

Buddy hook me up with the link where Hearn said the Joshua Wilder fight is an 80-100 million dollar fight.

I just told you it was on yesterdays threads look for it yourself

This is the problem, everyone saying that Wilder is ducking, but truth be told, nobody knows if this is a good deal or $h!tty deal, if it's a 100 Mil fight, then 12.5 is a slap in the face, if it's a 40 Mil fight, then it's acceptable.

yup i agree to this right here

I could delete everything and act like it didn't happen but that's a b@tch move for cowards. I get why you feel like that's okay..........You asked for the red K chief.

Bye :****you:

I didn't suggest deleting anything you fool. That didn't even come across my mind, only a weak person like yourself would think of it.

I suggested you to edit your post like a man. However you won't because you're not only a weak person, but a coward who is running away.

You're also a dumb mofo.

Fight Freak: Should Wilder take the 12.5 million to fight Joshua?

Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (12:19 PM)

1000000000000000000000000000% NO. Horrible deal. They gave Parker 33% and Wilder is worth more than Parker. No chance it happens as a flat fee. Same as when Floyd offered Pac $40 million. Huge money but a pittance. As a percentage deal Pac made over $100M. It's not a real offer. It's the kind of offer that says we don't want the fight.


End of story gentlemen. Let's put delusion aside.

This was from later on in the same chat FWIW:

Dan, love the chat, what's your take on an acceptable % for Wilder at this point? Matchroom offered him a (rumored) flat fee of $12.5 million, which is absurd no matter how you spin it, but it's doubtful they would ever give Wilder 40%, even 35%. Seems like Hearn is not negotiating in good faith, this fight should be easy to make, they are on the same network, and on the same schedule.
Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (2:01 PM)

He's worth more than Parker, who got 33 percent. Wilder's team has said it wants 40 percent. To me, the right number is something between 34 and 39 percent.

I agree with this. Parker got a cut between 30% and 35%. Wilder should get something between 35% and 40% since he brings more value to this fight than parker did, and the fight itself is a bigger fight.

The poll is telling me how smart UK and American fight fans are. Flat fee? Foh. You didn’t want GG and Pac to take one so why should Wilder? Wilder is saying that Joshua can have the fight at home and he’s the A side and we can’t get the fight made already? But Wilder is the one who doesn’t want the fight. This poll shows us who the lying hypocrites are.

[Boksfan]

If Wilder was a man and not a coward he would take the same deal as Parker. Wilder is a coward duck, FACTS!

40% is exactly what I think he deserves so, not shocking to me at all.

[Gigantes]

lowball, he should get 12.6.
