Comments Thread For: Hearn Thinks Parker Promoter is Bonkers After Presser on Joshua

[Scipio2009]

How are they desperate when they've a potential Oceanic PPV against Browne to fall back on and the possibility of a purse bid against World of Boxing for a Poevtkin fight ? If anything I'd expect Hearn to shown more desperation in his attempts to get the WBO belt for AJ if he really wanted it, could it be possible they don't ? Hearn doesn't appear tonne acting like it !

When all is said and done Higgins will take the biggest offer whether it be from WOB, Matchroom or promoting an AUS/NZ ppv at the Suncorp to a full house, you're a fool if you think any different.

World of Boxing only bids as much as would be needed to ensure that they lock down the fight; the bid for Klitschko-Povetkin was nearly three times what the bid for Wilder-Povetkin, because WoB understood the difference in business between the two fights.

The WoB offer for Parker-Povetkin will be below the offer for Wilder-Povetkin, for the simple reality that the fight isn't all that big in New Zealand.

The moment that the Wilder deal gets finalized, hope Duco has fun going to Australia.

Last time we saw Higgins at a press conference he was being ejected by the security.

Parker should fight Bellew, easy nights work for him! Then fight Joshua or Wilder.

Love that the Parker team is giving a little back to Hearn. Don't get me wrong, Joshua is far superior technically and Parker's "granite chin" won't make much difference. Joshua finishes him in 8 or 9. But it's fun to watch Wind Tunnel Hearn be on the defensive a little.
