Comments Thread For: Hearn To Parker: Joshua Has Glass Jaw? Then Jump on This Fight!

Knick you're talking too much common sense. They're Joshua **** gobblers hell bent on accepting Hearn and Joshua's low balling and getting out of tough fights.

Yet all the signs are that Hearn and Higgins will agree a “low ball” offer to fight. Kinda implies that your notion of low ball is bull and based on nothing but your agenda (that being a Wilder **** gobbler)

This is exactly what I said was contradictory. Most of these AJ fans say AJ is worth more so it should be 90/10 in the UK or 80/20. So, if Wilder is the more popular in the US, I don't see anything wrong with a 65 or even 70 % for Wilder versus AJ using the "terrible" logic of AJ's delusional fans.

This is core of the problem. They are both young champions and have not reigned for long. AJ is the more marketable but Wilder has had the belt longer and has the more prestigious belt. AJ has beaten the bigger name, albeit a guy who was already defeated and had been out for a long time. I think the ratio should be closer irrespective of where the match takes place.

Where's the contradictions? Wilder is known in the US and Joshua is known in the US, so splitting the pot makes sense. Both guys have value in the US, so there should be a split.

What is Joseph Parker's value to the fight?

He doesn't draw in the UK (the attendance and YouTube figures will tell you that), folks aren't going to travel with him, he doesn't bring any sponsorship money, etc.

What does he bring to the table that, at least could grow the pie bigger than Joshua was able to get it with Pulev/Takam?

Give Duco what Pulev was supposed to get and the rights to the fight throughout Asia.

AJ has no value in the US. His only value is in the UK, maybe Nigeria if you will like to add that. None at all in the US. On the Parker item, I think the intrinsic factors justify 35% at minimum.

Because Martin was a champ, Joshua wasn't, and Martin was traveling over to make a voluntary defense.

Joshua has his own belts (so there goes the champion's premium that Martin got), Joshua is rated top fighter in the division (compared to just being a promising prospect when he fought Charles Martin), and Joshua is starting to emerge as a global attraction (with Showtime, RTL, and Sky Box Office all throwing in with him).

How you figured Parker should get more than Martin got, based on nearly nothing, is beyond me

Beats me why you feel Martin as a champ should be paid more than Parker who is a champ to travel.

Translation: I can't refute anything you say so i'll spew some other random nonsense in order to avoid having to acknowledge that i'm wrong, like a child putting their fingers in their ears and going 'lalalala'.

Yeah, but you're still an alt for a reason. And I'm not trying to be funny. But you're an alt. Sorry.

Joshua has more value in the US than Wilder does in the UK. Let Wilder keep the US money and Joshua keep the UK i'm sure Hearn would jump at the chance. Wilder would make 3 or 4 mil tops.

Wilder isn't worth **** anywhere.
