How does a guy with one belt think that he can demand a 50/50 split from a unified champ? A guy that has been making 20+ million over his last few fights and has been selling out stadiums? This dude is the main reason the fight hasn't happened.
Deontay Wilder is delusional. Why does he think he is the A-side against Joshua?

Because in America where u make the most bucks people dont fukk with AK
Wilder has been fighting in America for his whole career and his highest payday hasn't been close to Joshua's. UK currency is worth more than American dollar, and boxing is more popular in the UK than it is in the U.S. right now so fighting over there seems to be a smart business decision.

Basically. Wilder hasn't got much pull in his own country. People love AJ in UK.
Are you implying that Wilder is a bigger cash cow than AJ?

Because Wilder been champion longer.. The Wilder fight is by far the biggest fight AJ can make, and Wilder is about to have a win over the last LINEAL HW champion Tyson Fury. Fight is gonna sell both UK and US ppvs..
Hearn hi.self has already said of Wilder sells a million ppvs then the fight is 50/50.. AJ being unified is meaningless since he never beat the Best on the division

breh are you cosigning wilder vs fury fight?
Dont matter if I cosign it or not
I mean I cosigned it, femi or wilder, going after fury because of the lineal status from jump...
I don't think he really believes that, AJ has fought the better quality of opposition considering the number of fights, does bigger business and has more titles. Wilder has raised his profile but he's always gonna be the B side against AJ unless he keeps winning and AJ loses. They should just fight, as the winner would then be the A side.

It is what it is. Delusion.
Plus Wilder has this boisterous uber confident media personality and I guess that doesn't allow him to be realistic about this in front of cameras and accept that Joshua is clearly the biggest star of the division and not him.
I know many ppl hate to argue about splits but nevertheless I feel it should be a 60-40 to Joshua simply because Joshua is the bigger name clearly but still a 40 for Wilder because Joshua also couldn't make the kind of money he would make there with anyone else
All that if Wilder beats Fury and I'm not sure of that.
If Fury beats Wilder it should be easier or harder to make AJ vs Fury. Easier cause both from UK. And harder cause they are with different promoters who are each others' arch enemies and while Wilder is stubborn too Fury seems the most stubborn of all and there's a good chance imo that he would never accept that he's not getting a 50% split.

Hearn has already said if Wilder/Fury can sell a million buys then the fight is 50/50.. so none of that bigger name shyt means anything.. Its all about how much revenue can you bring in, and AJs revenue is limited and capped off in the UK.. Wilder bout to have a US and UK revenue stream coming in for the Fury fight
