Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter: Hearn's Offer For Joshua Was "Ridiculously Low"

[Pennsauken1]

Eddie Hearn is a joke. He is low balling all the top heavyweights to protect his juiced up, over rated fighter. He fought 1 legitimate fighter who was past his prime, over 40 years old, and almost got knocked out, now Eddie is playing a lot of mind games. Eddie Hearn is new Oscar, and AJ the new Canelo, both guys are a joke and want to fight a bunch of nobodies, give the fans what we want!

And people telling me Hearn is rich. I thought he was on social security the way he deals. He's just cheap, the only thing he's protecting is his purse.

Hearn said AJ earned around 20 mil. That's about 4 mil+ which to me sound low.

Because it is a unification, maybe AJ will earn more so potentially it could be more for Parker. However 4 mil seems low.

How much did Pacquiao and Mayweather pay their opponents?

How is 4 mil low when Parker makes nowhere near that?

Hes a joke parkers promoter thinks his man is on the same level as aj wbo is the worse of all the belts his last fight should of been called of threw lack of action brings about 2m his entire main event when hes fighting yet is turning his nose up at atleast 10m and to trying get 3 belts he shouldnt get no per cent just a flat fee hes a unknown just leave him behind i think expects 20m plus pricing himself out

[Rip Chudd]

he thinks Parker is worth 40%. He's even lesser known than Wilder

Then he thinks if Wilder wins and ups his profile that they'll get 50% from Wilder's team... this dude is funny

forgetting Haye/Bellew winner and Povetkin

Gonna be funny when Parker loses his title before he can cash out, he would be making 5 times as much facing AJ in the UK than facing anybody else than Wilder, first of all Wilder wont beat AJ and even if he did, Wilder with all 3 major belts wont give Parker more than 30%. These guys are trying hard to milk their titles and will only face each other if they get vastly overpaid, a retirement fund. Boxing nowadays.

There aren't that many high profile names that Parker can beat easily. maybe Lucas Browne, but he would struggle vs Breazeale and Miller, even Dillian Whyte and he would lose vs Ortiz and Povetkin.

There's more than a few million £££'S facing David Haye or Tony Bellew with a rematch clause as well, he has time for 2 voluntaries, plus Povetkin is waiting at the end of 2018 as a mandatory with a massive purse bid coming from his promoter most likely to happen.

So Parker is in a very strong position with his WBO belt actually, he has a minimum of 2 fights with Haye/Povetkin so there's about 6 - 10 million UK £££'s and he get's matched up against ageing 37 year old fighters.

Joshua can wait if he's not offering more than £10 million.

Hold out Joseph Parker there are millions to be made other than just fighting Anthony Joshua.

In the whole scheme of things, 4 mil is low if you look at how much Charles Martin was paid and how much was offered for Whyte/Deon the NFL player

In the whole scheme of things it's high. Joshua is 10x the draw. Pacquiao and Mayweather were bigger draws than Joshua and paying their opponents less.

Charles Martin received 6 mil and AJ was less of a star. Parker will want that at minimum.
