You sound crazy bro.

Parker doesn't make 10-15 million fighting joshua or any other heavyweight.

With Joshua's increased popularity (who knows how much he'll sell next time) and Parker holding a belt, the fight would likely pull some serious cash (especially with that Bellew fight; which seems likely based on twitter)

I think they'd do over 1 million buys and Parker would grab some solid dough.

Parker isn't anything special. I think he'll lose the WBO before he even gets to AJ...

I agree he's nothing special but that doesn't mean people aren't interested in seeing him fight AJ. (I'm primarily thinking about the UK market)

Honestly Parker's team would be dumb to take a unification fight w/ Wilder next. The obvious move would be to fight Joshua in either New Zealand (since he said he wants to go global) or the UK. Sell out some 50k plus arena and make about $10-15 million.

He'd only make about $2 million fighting Wilder next in the US. That's just bad business.

I get the competitive piece but Wilder is bringing very little to the table in comparison to other options.

He should even consider a UK scrap with Bellew over Wilder. Money talks.

Arum is bringing Parker to America and he'll be fighting Andy Ruiz again.

I'm aware that they have to be within the top 15, but I'm pretty sure one-eye jim that sits under the dartboard at my local pub could win a WBO regional belt.. their rankings are ****ing horrendous.

That's not to say others, like the IBF in past days for example, havent had bad rankings especially in the HW division but the WBO really does sc**** the bottom of the professional boxing barrel.

At least the IBF's bad rankings have stemmed from their absolute solid stance on enforcements of their reules and regs. *cough charles martin*

The WBO has been a joke since it first came about. While Mike Tyson was undisputed champ the WBO had their inaugural title fight with Francesco Damiani vs Johnny DuPlooy. It was vacated several times so the champ could fight for a world title. The WBO has regional belts in Asian & Africa where the talent pool is weak so guys go over there & win the WBO Asian pacific & WBO oriental titles & they are in the top 15. Alex Leapai was a perfect example.

I'll have a word with the WBO and get him an eye-patch exemption to bring some added ****e to his persona!

Super heavyweight - liquid cement body made up of a rigid regime of Fray Bentos pies and pints of doombar.

Plays darts, had a trial at semi pro for football 40 years ago for rushden and diamonds.

Current stats on Barfightrec 14 -7- 5 handshakes.

Get him in there with Charlie Zelenoff or Dinner Jacket Frog...

He actually made about $20 million for the Wladmir fight. (Pounds are worth more than dollars)

Parker could "possibly" grab 7 million pounds (with the right build up), which would be worth close to $10 million.

[LetOutTheCage]

Damn, first Eddie Hearn protecting AJ from Wilder, now Parker's team worrying about rematches against a soft touch, just imagine their tepidness in fighting Wilder. Not a good luck, I smell a blatant duck coming from Parker.

lol what!?!
