    The money is in the U.K, so they go where the money is, Parker shouldn't get more just because the U.K will maximise revenue, he also should get around 30% just for having 1 belt to Joshua's 2 and not having any profile to be demanding more.

    He's just a title holder with no better options. If he doesn't accept the money and the chance to take on the number 1 for another 2 belts he is ******, imagine the money he can ask for in a rematch!

    If he doesn't accept he will lose a purse bid and have to fight Povetkin in Russia, just like your boy Wilder had to....and he will lose his belt.

Parker doesn't deserve anymore than 25% as he really brings anything to the table monetarily. If an AJ fight pot is $20m, then 25%, would get $5m. He's not earning more than $2m fighting anyone else, I would say getting 250% more than you can get fighting anyone else a good deal.
    What was the offer from mismatchroom? I find it funny that its OK from you bias 'fans' that they treat Joey Parker worse than a bum mandatory.

      The same guy who claimed Hughie showed "shades of Ali" during the Parker fight?

      Just because i'm a Fury fan doesn't mean i like idiots like Hennessy.

        Fight Wilder then champ!

        Wilder would give you 50-50 or 60-40 of the pot in Barclays or Las Vegas!

        Let Joshua continue fighting senior citizens and midgets as he cons his fans accordingly!

          50/50 is after Wilders fought Joshua, right now he probably wants 60/40 in favour of Parker. Guys a madman

            Both Joshua & Parker have superior resumes to Wilder. Wilder is even fighting one of Joshua's leftovers in his next fight!

              "I'll give you a simple answer. They pay us 40 per cent and not a cent less, or they will fight Wilder, who will obviously win and then we'll fight Wilder 50-50," said Higgins. "If they want to go fight Wilder, they can, and then we'll fight Wilder on a 50-50 basis later in the year, once he has all three belts."

                Lol. If Wilder beat AJ first, there's no way on earth Parker's team get 50% out of him. They won't even get 40%.

                They are deluded.

                  Higgins needs to stay off that Colombian marching powder and start living in the real world.

                    I couldn't have said it better myself. Higgins knows his boxing.

                      Parker and Wilder are both delusional. Neither of them can earn more than $1.4M, yet they want to put their hands in Joshua's pockets while he's earning between $14-$20M per fight. GTFOH! Parker would be smart to accept a 25% offer, and that is being generous. Wilder isn't even worth 30%, but he is demanding 50% to price himself out of a fight with a live dog. He'd rather trilogy Stiverne or take on Breazeale for another $1M than risk his "0" against a real opponent.

                      Wilder vs. Parker, with Wilder getting a 60/40 split in his favor. Winner can grow a set and fight Joshua for what little they are worth.
