Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua on Joseph Parker: Is He Trying To Sell His Belt?

[Jkp]

I'm not sure maybe but boxing isn't huge there.. He only sold 3/5 thousand tickets wherever he fought. And his last fight was on YouTube

Your talking crap. He sells out arenas in nz every time he fights. And does very well from the ppv in nz and Australia and rest of Pacific.

The fury promotion was a shambles because the furys were promoting and organising it. They had a sold out arena ready in nz before fury pulled out.

I know that his last fight with Fury was on Youtube but i thought he had a massive following in NZ. I thought his fights were on PPV. Maybe thats why he wants 40%.

Parkers team had ppv rights to the fury fight for nz and Australia and it did good numbers.

Nah he fought in small areas with loads of empty seats. He made less than 1 million against Hughie.. But wants 20+million against AJ. That's basically him saying he wants to sell the belt.

Your competely wrong. He got well over 1 million pounds for fury fight. Plus he got PPV rights for nz australia.

Belts need to be earnt. Except if your Aj and eddie will buy you one off Charles martin.

Have a ****ing word with yourself.

Just because he has the least prestigious historically of the four belts doesnt mean he commands anywhere close to 50%.

He brings no numbers.. has had to explore NZ government funding for his bout purses in the past and his last fight was on ****ing youtube.

Take your kiwi glasses off and live in the real world

AJ needs to satisfy Parker's needs to get a shot at the WBO.. OR wait and let TIME take its toll.

Ajs sold his soul to wheeler dealer hearn and his japseye probably, dont know why he's piping up spouting bollocks about others selling the things

And am sure the Joshua fight would also be on PPV there.

There can be a little give this early in both their careers. One beat a 41 year old that hadn't fought in 2 years and just had a rocky fight with a replacement. The other's wins were snoozers but he's still on top in the WBO. Make the fights early with a little give, you still get millions, the fans get a treat, and then when one unifies with Wilder, it's a big payday all around. Hearn knows this, he just is seeing what he can get away with. Business 101.

They don't call it prizefighting because fighters just were in it to fight.
