Parker prices himself out of Joshua fight

[Robbie Barrett]

A Mandatory gets 25%, Parker is a champion and has fought in the UK vs. Hughie Fury ( you know 'building his profile' like the UK fanboys say Deontay wont do.) furthermore he is expected to defend his championship ON FOREIGN SOIL-- So whats being a champion and building your profile in A.J's homeland worth? ten percent more? so that would be 35%?

I don't think Joey Parker is being unreasonable, Joshua and Mismatchroom are trying to **** and humiliate a man that has a better resume than Joshua and more proven defending on a bias country with corrupt officials and judges. FACT.


UK fanboys are always justifying A.J's b*tch ways.

A mandatory gets 25% of the winning purse bid NOT 25% of the revenue.

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

He never left this night out

[Robbie Barrett]

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

25% against Joshua is more than 50% against Wilder.

Parker absolutely does NOT have a better resume than Joshua!

Parker's team intentionally priced themselves to Joe's benefit. Parker didn't look especially good in his last few fights so they need to iron out some kinks between getting into the ring with Joshua.

I've also read that Parker is keen to face Lucas Browne in April creating an Australia vs New Zealand rivalry that would do well.

Wow he looked out of it there!!! Wouldn't even know that was him if not for you posting this picture.

Whos arguing otherwise? dont tell me you also oppose Parker making extra off viewership? I mean he is a champion you know not a mandatory, but you want to put him in the same boat.

The good thing for Parker is that Povetkin will soon be his mandatory challenger. If he doesn't fight in Joshua 2018, Povetkin's promoters will almost certainly win the purse bids and give Parker his cash out fight.

[Vinnykin]

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.

Even if it was 20% of total revenue, Parker will get millions more than a mandatory would of a 25% purse.

Parker is effectively asking for £20 million+, like I said, ridiculous!

25% against Joshua is more than 50% against Wilder.

This seems like an Ego thing with all these guys, how does this Higgins guy think wait for Wilder to potentially win and 50-50 in that fight is a good idea?

Even if that fight was on US ppv what sort of buyrate would you get? I can't see it out performing a Ward Kovalev fight. Even if a network was ****** enough to take a risk on Wilder-Parker as a ppv, you are talking about splitting a pot of about $5-10 million in an ideal situation.

20% of a Joshua fight makes him more than $5 million, and if he wins he still has that Wilder pay day.

This is one of the dumbest game plans I've ever heard.
