Comments Thread For: Bob Arum To Hearn: 65-35 is More Than Fair For Joshua-Parker

[MC Hammer]

Come on now, AJ is the only HW doing PPVs right now. Him and Wilder are the only one's selling out arenas 75-25 is fair, because it will give Parker more than he's ever had. 65-35 seems more like what you give wilder

I really don't care for the split unless it prevents a fight from happening, I have always maintained that the market would decide who gets what.

[Robbie Barrett]

Pacquiao didn't even give 25% to most of his opponents who were much bigger names than Parker. Trying to use titles to justify a split makes no sense.

When you get to the top and are making 15+ mil giving 35% to someone that can't draw shit doesn't happen.

[ShoulderRoll]

He has more belts and is the bigger draw so what they are being offered is to much in my opinion

Bob Arum disagrees with you, based on his decades of promotional experience.

Bob Arum's not exactly neutral is he. He co-promotes Parker with Duco.

Bob Arum has a stake in Joseph Parker, so obviously the more percentage Parker gets the more money in Arum pocket.

[Mr.Easy]

I totally agree w/ Arum on this one.

It's greed and it's funny how people in today's society are justifying greed — Joshua's the bigger name, it's business etc. I say again like I did in my previous post the risk both fighters face in the fight are the same. When it comes to fighting rewards should be equal of you want to make more than your opponent go and get your own sponsorship. If they don't get the minimum of 35 the Joshua camp has lost my respect and now I'm rooting for Parker to win as I can't stand greedy bastards.

[Sid-Knee]

Arum is only saying this because he has a stake in Parker. The greedy little scum bag.

Do you think he would have tolerated Manny's opponents asking for 35 % of the pot? Hell no!

Parker has been turning down years worth of income, out of ego of wanting Joshua to earn less. It's not about greed, it's about jealousy.
