Wilder will never get 50-50 split for Joshua fight- Hearn

By Daily Sports on October 23, 2017

IAnthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn says Wilder can forget about getting an even 50-50 split of the revenue for the fight with Joshua.

Wilder, 31, will need to take a pay cut for him to get the fight with Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs). Wilder will also need to earn the fight with Joshua by beating Whyte first.

In the last week, Hearn has set up one condition for Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) to get the Joshua fight next year by saying that he must fight his Machroom Sport stable fighter Dillian Whyte (21-1, 16 KOs) in early next year. Hearn has already set a date out for Wilder to fight Whyte on February 3rd at the O2 Arena in London, England.

In effect, Wilder would be putting himself at risk of losing a controversial decision by fighting Whyte in his home country rather than in a neutral country. It almost seems like Hearn is setting Wilder up to fail by requesting that he earn the fight with Joshua by fighting Whyte in the UK.

Hearn said this week that if Wilder refuses to fight Whyte, they’ll go the mandatory route to force him to take the fight by becoming his mandatory.

“The deal in Wilder’s head is a 50-50 split but over my dead body is that ever happening,” Hearn said to the sun.co.uk. “He hasn’t had a serious fight yet and he needs to fight someone real before he can start making demands. I want him to fight Dillian Whyte on February 3 at The O2. That would be an absolute tear-up. AJ would buy a ringside seat for that.”
