Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker Budges: I'll Take 35% To Fight Anthony Joshua

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.

I could agree, but He will be traveling to another country too. Fighting in front of 80 thousand crazy brits. That can shake a mans nerves. But him at a disadvantage before the contest even starts. It could be Intimidating

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.

A post like this will get you

At one time every big name fighter was an underdog in someone else's backyard. Taking the short money to establish a name for themselves. That is part of the business. If Parker should pull off an upset in the U.K. he becomes the new shot caller.

You nailed it UPSET. Parker’s only bargining chip is he has a belt. If he loses that belt (more than likely), the chance he gets it back are small, with then AJ and Wilder owning all of them then unifying, hopefully. True Parker won’t get more fighting someone else, but fighting someone else won’t get AJ what he wants, a title. I guess it breaks down to how much the title is worth to each of them.

Skills, both...But from what I've seen fellas, Parker doesn't win.

Hearn gonna do his best to drop it to 30% and Team Parker will take it!

That could net him around 7 mill or 6.5 million!

Fighting Lucas Browne and Bryant Jennings together won't even net him that!

Just sell ya belt Kiwi and get knocked out!


I'm ready for Joshua vs Wilder!

WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (24-0, 18 KOs) is willing to budge on his financial position to fight IBF, IBO, WBA champion Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) in a high stakes unification. There are ongoing negotiations to stage that fight in the first quarter of the new year.

[DuckAdonis]

That is very reasonable, Parker has a belt
