Comments Thread For: Parker vs. Fury: Duco Secures The Fight With Over $3 Million Bid

I think WBO is 60/40 split while IBF is 75/25. Not sure what WBA goes but think WBC might be 70/30 or 75/25

The WBA is also 75/25 and the WBC is 70/30. That 60/40 doesn't look that bad compared to the other sanctioning bodies.

Sneaky Warren probably shocked, thought he can promote this one in UK. Hope Duco insists on Vada testing, then Fury is only 50%.Easy win for Parker.

Looks like baby Eugh-ie Acne won't be having his father in his corner for this one, assuming of course he passes a doping test with VADA, which lets be honest is no forgone conclusion.

You don't know that. Maybe he has already paid a lawyer & got the proper paper work to clear his travel restrictions. Like a pardon or travel waiver. There are legal processes one can do to get entrance in these countries. Tyson couldn't get in because of the nature of his crime & he didn't go through with the proper legal process to gain access to NZLD. Plenty of bands can't get over the Canadian border. The band Inqusition couldn't open for Mayhem because they couldn't get over the border. I can't go to the US until I get a pardon or a travel waiver but I have to go through a long legal process & pay fees which I have refused to at this point. No different anywhere else.

Fury gets 40% for the challenger of a title fight. Meanwhile Barrera gets 25% for being the challenger in a freaken eliminator.

And Kovalev got 30% and Ward 70% when Kovalev was champion fighting in another country. Things happen.

I'm only referring to weird sanctioning body splits. Kovalev vs Ward was a 50/50 revenue split. What Roc Nation guaranteed Ward has nothing to do with what Duva guaranteed Kovalev.

Fair enough. Still, champ getting only 30% and challenger getting 70% of total money paid out is wierd. Actually ROC guaranteeing 5M is wierd ... and is likely the cause for Ward delaying.

I think Parker looks better here than last time out. He's not great on the back foot, but a taller guy like Hughie will bring out his aggressive side. Not sold on him beating the elite but he wins this especially in NZ.

Imagine this....

Hughie wins
AJ Wins
AJ vs Hughie for unification , IBF, WBA SUPER,IBO,WBO
AJ Wins
Tyson suddenly becomes teetotal and rides in like some sort of driveway tarmac'ing king and challenges.

Deontay Wilder still fights bums.

Hollywood **** right there....

Actually Wilder is more likely to face the winner (they are already in talks for it). If AJ gets the win they he is stuck facing Ortiz his mandatory next. They the winners of those fights can unify it all finally.

I'm glad this is on Parker's home turf. I think he spanks little Hughie.
