Parker prices himself out of Joshua fight

[bigjavi973]

Pulev was getting 4 mill I dont see what's the problem with 2 mill more and AJ gets the WBO belt no?



like I said before this is just like the gggroupies...

ggg has to make no concessions and everyone else had to bow cuz ggg filled seats, money guy etc



all excuses

So Parker's promoter will not accept anything less than 40% for an AJ fight, which proves he does not want it.

It's all well and good saying "Parker will put everything on the line" but what is Joshua doing? He has 2 belts and is putting everything on the line as well.

Parker, if he is serious about being the best, would accept less than that to win another 2 world titles, take out the number 1 in the division and have serious leverage over Wilder or even a rematch with Joshua.

He's priced himself out and doesn't have the ambition or belief, just wants the payday.

That fat maori sack of crap aint even worth wilder amount, and wilder would be lucky with 40% lol

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!

How do you reach that figure? not that it matters to me what Parker makes; Charles Martin made around 8.5 million against Joshua, now I ask you who was Charles Martin? did he ever fight in the UK? was Joshua a superstar back then? but they dont want to pay a proven prime champion?! GTFO!

There are at least 2 GGG hate threads currently ongoing. Couldn't you post in one of them and give us a break from this ****?

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.

But back to the question in hand I fail to see why Higgins is considered such an idiot especially when he's making bank with guys like Parker and Horn, look at the last 5-6 grosses from Team Parker, the next fight of Horn and his previous at the Suncorp vs Pac.

I don't care what anyone says about Hearn, without Sky he'd be nothing, DeGale and Brook dont talk so highly either. In regards to Joshua without that Sky Sports News channel that absolutely hammers the promotion fight week his ticket sales wouldn't be half as good as they are, I'll let Hearn take all the credit though because he's the main man...

Charles Martin got a $5million guarantee from Hearn and is thought to have made around $6million. But he was the defending IBF champion and AJ had no belt at that time.

Nice try, I'm talking about AMERICAN DOLLARS not pounds as Charles Martin is coming home to spend U.S currency chump. my source is ESPN the leader in sports, we got 8.5 million at the very least. And you talking about ' A.J had no belt ' well now that hes become very big in the UK after Kltitchko only means the purses are going up and theres more money to be put up in UNIFICATION'S.

40% is a lot, but that's how it works sometimes when you want the belt.

Would he rather fight Povetkin for it? Possibly in Russia?

Just going by what the fight will likely make, taking into account the fact Joshua is way bigger after the Klitschko fight and will likely sell more PPV's, and also taking into account the increase in PPV cost and the likely ticket increase.

I think it's a £50 million fight, bigger than Klitschko as Joshua's profile is much bigger now, nothing to do with Parker but with the right promotion, and it being a unification, it will do big numbers.

Not sure where 2 mill more comes from? The Pulev fight was £20 mil Joshua and £5 mil Pulev apparently which totals £25 mil. You'd expect a unification to do slightly better than that so let's say around £30 mil (kinda think the figures would be higher than that anyway).

Parker's team want 40% of the total revenue so that would equate... £12,000,000.

Parker apparently made £1,500,000 against Hughie Fury but expects 8 TIMES that amount against Joshua?

That's just pricing yourself out, plain and simple which clearly shows that they have absolutely no faith in Parker defeating Joshua because at the end of the day if he did he would be box office and could make that kind of money every fight like AJ does now.
