35% of how much tho?

if 35% puts 10 million plus in his hand idk if i agree...

u were just fightin on youtube he should get paid a bit more than charles martin, but not surely no more than 5 million more

That’s fair. AJ doesn’t need ALL money. It’s crazy how some of you guys promote greed. I hope the same people here saying Parker and Deontay shouldn’t get **** never ask their boss for a raise. I’m going to tell the boss to refer to their comments. If Parker doesn’t bring **** to the Table as a champion what could you possibly do the company you work for?

I've said from the start.

Demand 40% or nothing but settle on 30%.

Giving 30% for a World Champion in a Unification fight is the right move, any lower is just an insult.

There should easily be $20 Million on the table after costs so Joshua gets at least $13 Million and Parker $7 Million which is Fair for both sides.

While I see your point, this is nothing new. Floyd and Manny fought other title holders who only got 10-20%.on their best day. They knew they could never earn more without Floyd or Manny's star power. Parker has no fan base outside of NZ. He isn't earning anywhere near what AJ earns (neither does Wilder) so they don't deserve such a generous share of the purse. Parker is worth 20-25% at best and that is only because he has that WBO strap.

Unlike that hoe negga wilder, he's not crying about drug testing either. Give Parker thr fight AJ, I want to see this one bad.

Parker was already surely willing to take 35% its not as if your supposed to start at 35% as u negotiate & meet @ 35%,common sense.

To protect his golden goose Hearn will make it happen.All the gate prices will be sky high & he will knock up the PPV for an average fight.Everyone will be talking about how they wish it was against Wilder.....but still be suckered in buying.....this just why the sneaky Hearn gets away with it.

What are u referencing? I thought Wilder uses the standard VADA testing? Or does AJ only want Corrupt UKAD which is against the wba/wbc rules?
