Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter: We'd Fight Joshua at 60-40 Split in His Favor

[chico malo ali]

it should be more like 80-20 split! parker is straight garbage just like the belt he holds!

[petegrif]

60 40 ???
good luck with that

[Clegg]

Reasonable opening offer. He doesn't deserve that much but of course he's not gonna lowball himself. Probably Parker's only shot at a huge payday, may as well push for as much as possible.

I have never seen this before on a boxing forum. This is unprecedented. Fans chiming in on what a boxer should and shouldn't make and what he actually deserves, lmao.

I have seen this many times before!

Lol..........

Original offer was for 80/20 Joshua, Duco countered with 60/40 Joshua, so the final deal will be somewhere between the two.

70/30 splits the difference, so a deal is there to be had.

Parker is not dropping that belt for peanuts anyone who thought that was being extra thick.

All Parker has to do is wait and be the last domino to fall in the belt chase and he will basically get what number he wants (not percentage but in actual dollar value). Why would he go first and take less? When he can do ok doing his own thing because no one cares about him at all.

Because Povetkin fights for the WBO mandatory challenger spot, and I doubt that Parker is good enough to beat Povetkin in Russia.

Which is the real deadline, regardless of the blustering.

[chocolatebomber]

he'll take 30 to 35%, that mandatory is coming like Omar Little!!

[b00g13man]

Well that's unrealistic...

[Fabes88]

That's when we should know that Higgins comments are a mere negotiation tactic. Fair play to him for doing what he can to maximize his guy's $. No harm in that.

I think we have a lower limit for Parker; Pulev as an IBF mandatory got at least 25%. The fight will happen though...too much money.

I think pulev would've got 4-5 million. I think team Parker are blinded by terms "60-40" and "80-20" the fact is even at 20% it's a career high pay day for joe.
