Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker Inching Closer, Says Hearn

Whats "fair money" for wilder? Because i dont think he deserves more than 10%

When he beats a legit fighter then maybe, until then he doesnt "deserve" ****

He is an undefeated champion (albeit versus weak opposition) with a big personality, so that has to be worth something. Wilder vs AJ is the biggest fight in boxing right now so how can he not be worth more than 10%? It should be 65 to 35 for AJ. Even 70 to 30 but no less than that. Peace.

Wonder how much Parker will end up selling his belt for... my guess is somewhere between 25-30%...

Hearn is turning in to very bad news neither Miller or Whyte deserve to be anywhere near a fight with AJ. One has just been knocked out by him and looked average since the other one looked bad stopping a punch bag last time out.

Hearn should skip the fight with Parker and pay Wilder good fair money for a fight everyone except Hearn wants to see.

Sky need to have a word with Hearn as the fans aren't all as ****** as what he thinks.They should NEVER have given this joker all the slots because he IS taking the piss.

How do you know that Hearn hasn't offered good fair money to Wilder? How do you know that it isn't just that Wilder wants a ridiculous split of the cash?

Nobody can truthfully answer those two questions, but it seems to be common place that all of the blame lies with Hearn when the reality is we know absolutely nothing about their negotiations over than they are far apart. That could be because Hearn is undervaluing Wilder or that could be because Wilder is overvaluing himself (he has said he expects a 50% split after all) but the truth is nobody here knows.

What we do know is that both Wilder and Joshua have talked about wanting to unify... we know that Joshua unified the IBF and WBA and we know that Hearn is very close to making another unification against Parker... which means after that's done then the only title left to unify will be the WBC.

Joshua vs Parker is a good fight.
I don't expect Joshua to fight Whyte anytime soon.
I prefer Joshua vs Miller to Joshua vs Whyte.

Any fighter that beats a 230 pound lean Parker deserves respect. Very tough fight for any heavyweight

[RapidSon]

Finally Joshua will be fighting an opponent with a heartbeat (old Klitschko??..No)

As much as I would like for it to happen, I doubt Joshua vs Parker is going to be made. Miller seems more likely. It can raise Joshua's profile in the States to set up a Wilder fight.

AJ isn’t a PPV star in the US and Parker isn’t American so they won’t be able to make this fight in the US for US PPV. But Wilder said they are looking at options of fighting on the same card as AJ to build AJ vs Wilder.. I recon if AJ fights Parker and you have Wilder vs Ortiz on the undercard they can pull that off as a PPV in the US.

Every major heavyweight champ would be on the card and if they sell it as the winner of each fight faces each other for a mega undisputed unification, that should create enough buzz for a US PPV.

Typical.

Try to belittle and make less of the guy that is more dangerous and an actual threat.

Yeah man. Im scared of deontay man. If he beats aj itll ruin my life man ill never get over it man
