Parker prices himself out of Joshua fight

Higgins needs to stay off that Colombian marching powder and start living in the real world. lool you can tell hes on something when Peter Fury had to put him in his place for behaving very strangely at the presser

Why do we all know that? Parker and Joshua are in talks right now for march. That's 3/4. Joshua and Wilder are in talks for the summer. Could quite possibly happen. JP fought his mandatory in late september, so I doubt WBO will enforce a new one especially if there are two unification fights on the horizon. I don't see Joshua and Parker fighting in March/April to be honest. Wembley isn't available until the Summer and I don't think Cardiff is the place to go for a unification, Parker will want more money, I see that fight taking place in the Summer and in London if anything.....I'll be very surprised if Parker's team accept less money for March/April in Cardiff than a much bigger fight 2/3 months later.....That's what I would do. I think Joshua could fight in the U.S instead in March/April and kick-start Matchroom USA properly, that's my theory, and Parker will likely fight Lucas Browne around the same time....then they will fight in the Summer.

It's all good saying that, but we all know there won't be an undisputed champ by the end of next year. It's easily covered by saying "Parker wanted too much money" and like I said, He will likely lose to Povetkin anyway. Lets hope Povetkin becomes his mandatory and he is forced to accept the unification for a reasonable amount before he is forced to fight him. Why do we all know that?

I agree, but as far as they're making out, it's their goal to do it in 2018. And if they do... that's historic.

Parker is still learning as well and is the youngest of them at 25. He has time and will only get better hopefully after getting back to a more premium weight.

It won't be done at that %, there's no way that is happening. There's no rush for AJ who is still learning either. Belts are fine and all, but AJ can get better fights and build his profile even more against people like Haye and Fury, the deal will only get worse for Parker the longer it goes on, and he will most likely lose to Povetkin any way who's promoter will actually get a bidding war going with Hearn and make a bigger fight for AJ.

If Charles Martin got paid 8.5 millionUS to fight Joshua for his IBF title then why shouldn't Parker or Wilder get that?

Basically what Anthony Joshua said was absolutely the truth. Nowadays, it seems that fighters are more willing to just sell their belts rather than defending them.

That makes sense from the perspective of Deontay Wilder. But, 25% now versus AJ is still a lot more than 50% versus Wilder IF he can capture AJ's belts. To be honest, AJ should just say "whatever it takes". 60% versus Joseph Parker is still going to be upwards of £15 million. Exactly my point. Both guys will make money. If AJ wins, he has more leverage and does not have to deal with the guys as such. If he loses, then he loses leverage as well.

I can see Wilder offering Parker 50/50 because what matters more to Wilder is getting the belt. Once you have all the belts, you have leverage and can dictate a lot more.

Exactly... Wilder would give him 50-50 or 60-40... from what? What you mean from what? You think Haymon wouldn't be willing to drop some more money when it comes to unifications?!. Especially after the Mayweather vs McGregor fight where im sure he got money from it! Parker can either fight Joshua for 3 belts for far less than what he wants from AJ with corrupt ref or end up fighting Povetkin in Russia for great money and 1 belt with corrupt judges an a likely loss or fight Wilder for 2 belts with decent money and US market exposure on big stage with a chance to get neutral judges and equal money split or 10% difference!

They are trying to sell the title, plain and simple. If their idea of Deontay Wilder beating Anthony Joshua comes true. I wouldn't expect Wilder to offer Joseph Parker 50/50. That would probably still be a lot less than say 75/25 against AJ. I can see Wilder offering Parker 50/50 because what matters more to Wilder is getting the belt. Once you have all the belts, you have leverage and can dictate a lot more.

Buying a title isn't cheap.

Both Joshua & Parker have superior resumes to Wilder. Wilder is even fighting one of Joshua's leftovers in his next fight! Won't help Joshua or Parker one bit! In the ring is where it all counts and both at one point or another were very reluctant to get in the ring with The Bronze Bomber! Wilder is campaigning for unifications and the best....I hear either crickets from the champs or maybe 2018! Parker gets smashed to bits before 4 and Joshua within 6 gets capsized!

Parker absolutely does NOT have a better resume than Joshua! Just ignore him. He's an anti-UK prick.

Parker is trash and doesn't even deserve the 20%. Seriously, he's a luckier Charles Martin. How can anyone be luckier than Prince ' I walk this earth like a god' Charles, the dude straight won the lottery.

Not so sure.. Quite sure AJ wants to be first ever undisputed HW champion that owns the four (five) belts. It won't be done at that %, there's no way that is happening. There's no rush for AJ who is still learning either.

He could fight 3 times in the next year and not make as much. although I think 30% is fair. Parker thinks his WBO belt is worth 40%, he's wrong. Not so sure.. Quite sure AJ wants to be first ever undisputed HW champion that owns the four (five) belts.
