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

[Robbie Barrett]

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

That was when Joshua was building his name and wanted a title. Doesn't matter what he wants. It's what he deserves and what Joshua is willing to give. He doesn't "deserve" more.

Hearn is being a good businessman. There is something called NEGOTIATION and thats what the B-Side should be doing instead of posting to the outlets.

Hearn is now off the rails and total unrealistic .This businessman is forgetting about the boxing side and will get stung.He's been in favour with most fans for a while , now he's fast becoming a joke.

If 20% is true he's out ....Parker for all his faults has a title and deserves at least 30-35% Wise up Eddie .

I agree, 35% is fair

They must be confident of beating Povetkin tho 🙈

It's better than fighting in an empty arena and having no viewers on YouTube. 20% of an AJ card in England would be a career high payday.

Parker is not worth 40% in a UK fight.

He should throw out percentage, and take a flat fee because the clown is not a star, not outside of his home country, and he turned in a BS performance in his fight with fury.

NOBODY in the HW division should get 40% against Joshua, not even Wilder, and I say that as an American.

Parker would make out better than he ever has with a $4 million purse, and the lion share of domestic revenue in his own country, lets say 75%.

Endorsements, sponsors, media appearances, he would make more money they he ever dreamed of.

His only alternative is to keep fighting for weak paychecks.

Wilder, same thing, he is more high profile, and its a massive fight, worth at least $100 million because it's a global event.

Wilder should go for $10 million, he is much more high profile and is well known in the UK at this point.

Go for 70% of the American TV because Hearn does have the argument that joshua is under contract with Showtime

All told, he could walk away with $15-17 million with endorsements, close circuit money, etc.

These two idiots need to realize that if you want to make money, the key is to get your foot in the door.

There was an ifl video where hear said Parker was worth 20 per cent. Higgins took that as an offer. Hearn said it wasn't and that AJ would have to overpay but he jokingly offered 20 on camera. So realistically what ever he offered is north of twenty and usually negotiable. So you would think pushable to thirty. Hearn has to be careful a big percentage and AJ could get less than the takam fight.

News flash - you aint worth shit.

Go and fight any other heavyweight and make an 1/8th of the profit.

[turnedup]

Hearn is taking a page out of Oscar's book with Canelo and it might come back to bite him in the azz if AJ has a bad night and loses his straps.

[Clubber Pac]

I don't see anything wrong with 80/20 split as AJ is the star here and Parker will ultimately make more from the fight than in his next 3,4 fights combined.

What I do find funny tho, is how many of the people accussing Hearn, the same ones that always accuse Arum of lowballing, are big Mayweather fans that never had a problem with Mayweather lowballing his opponents, and May was notorious for that.

stupid comment, everyone who fought Mayweather(once he was a star) made by far their biggest payday.

Just hush, leave this boxing this to the rest of us

No surprises here - it's early negotiations. If the fight is to be made, they'll come closer.
