Comments Thread For: Parker To Joshua: I Want The Fight, I'll Win, I Want Be Paid Fair

[Jkp]

Parker and Wilder are both acting like little girls about this. Just have your team talk to Joshua's team and settle it all. To keep talking in the media is just ****** and it's trying to get the publics sympathy. Parkers last fight was on YouTube and Wilder's last fight was in front of barely 10k. And both fights were embarrassing. Nether guy has leverage over AJ so stop trying to get it.

They are using the media to prevent AJ from ducking them both.

Which ensures us fans get the obvious fight that everyone wants.

These daftys have the split all wrong

20% would still be like 3 million . more than wilder and Parker have ever made

They get hung up on the percentage when they are making series bank even with a pizz poor split

35/65 is fair . Will take home a shed load and a sound flogging

If I was Hearn I would be giving them 70/30 absolute max, maybe less depending on what the numbers look like behind the scenes (as you said a 20% split may still be more than fair).

These guys are nuts asking for 50/50 60/40 when you think even Pac had to take 60/40 against Floyd, and Pac was always going to generate **** loads more in revenue than Parker or Wilder are going to contribute to this fight.

That fighters' total purse would be around $30 - $35 million for these two fights in the UK. So your number is off a little

Here's my proposal, stick AJ Wilder and Parker in a ring all at the same time...whoever gets out the ring first in 1 piece gets all the belts

Thats unrealistic . Melt all the belts together and create 4 belts in one the Super Duper World championship belt that all main organizations own a piece of . One face /one champion and hold a tournament of the top 10 HW's that last about a month.

I think for this fight to get made Hearn has to make Duco a flat offer, say 8 million NZD which is probably over paying but there you go. Duco need to shut-up about looking at the overall revenue as Parker really brings ZERO to this fight revenue-wise. i seriously doubt the bulk of people who will buy tickets to the fight or pay for it on TV have even seen a single Joseph parker fight or even know who he is. They'll be parting with their cash purely because of joshua.

"The world wants to see it," says dozy Dave Higgins, parker's promoter. Ummmmm no they don't. Most of the world outside of hardcore boxing fans don't even know who your guy is. So they have to give up on the idea that they in any way deserve to share a % of the overall revenue.

Just let Hearn give them an honourable flat-fee offer and take it from there.

I don't think that Parker is without his chances in this fight either, especially if he can come in 10 pounds lighter, force a busy pace and not take too much damage in the 1st half of the fight.

"I think I'll win" -J. Parker.........WTF???
Are those the words of a true champion? ....the eye of the tiger? ......killer instinct?

.........I guess Kiwi's suck at talking trash too.

Prefer talking with actions rather than words. Also shows he has enough respect to say that Aj is definitely a good fighter.

I mean Aj was talking trash about knocking out Takam when parker didn't lol and we'll yeah we saw how that went not exactly the action he said.

Don't worry about it man,.....at least you guys are good at rugby.

2.5 mill is funny seeing how pulev was supposed to get 4 and he had no belt smh

[bigjavi973]

Agreed. But I insist Mike Tyson ref this fight, and we replace rope with bobbed wire, 4 ounce mittens instead of gloves, and a Thunder Dome appearance.

HahHahahahahahahahHHah mittens
