Your boys got his place in the limelight and running with it, good for him, taken it upon himself to build the hype. But lets not pretend Haymon and the other guys want the fight to happen next and leave money on the table.
Parker-Browne is being set up as the B-option if the Joshua talks don't play out the way they want. Wilder-Breazeale also seems to be in the works if the Whyte talks don't go the way that they want. To that, you still have Haye-Bellew in December.
For argument's sake, if Haye blasts out Bellew (I don't think that Tony would fight Joshua were he to win) and everything else goes to ****, you'd end up with Parker-Browne in Australia (Povetkin beats Hammer, takes the mandatory to Russia, and likely beats Parker for the title), you likely have Whyte vs Ortiz to become the WBC mandatory challenger in February, Wilder vs Breazeale happens in Alabama, and you likely end up with Joshua vs Haye at Wembley.
Not the biggest fights, but the pairings work out for the most part.
Now, it's down to making the deals work; $4m was too low an offer, but Wilder's not getting $7m either. $5m-$6m likely secures the deal. In terms of Parker, the leverage comes down to what options Joshua has instead for his fight; if Bellew cleans out Haye in the 2nd fight, they might bend more to Parker (or simply set the stage for the Pulev fight if he beats Oquendo to become WBA mandatory)

When it comes down to it and it plays out how I think it plays out. Wilder will be on parity, at least on the US money. Joshuas gunna put up his end with the Miller fight, and Wilder will fight in the UK though not necessarily against Whyte, theres other options, and I think hes waiting to see what happens, rather than go straight with Whyte

The real problem is VADA CBP and the WBC WBA.
I mean.... if both orgs verify foul play I don't see how Ortiz can fight anytime soon or if its at the level of a Fury case.
i'd like to see joshua vs stirveren if they dont fight next. stirverne would give him all kinds of problems. joshua has never fough someone on his level yet. wilders already been in there with some of the best. his resume speaks for itself.
