Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua vs. Parker Deal is Close, We're Ready To Overpay

[Jewish-Reptile]

Is that you Higgins ?

Are you still uptight JP is about to get paid ?

[Tatabanya]

Whatever. Joshua inside four or five rounds at worst. Parker is a nobody.

I love how the other belt holders in Parker and Wilder are trying to rob AJ blind. Oh well if AJ wants all the belts not only does he have to beat them he has to pay them a lot more than they deserve.

Dude, WTF are you talking about? 65/35 split is fair and in wilders case he should get 50/50 cause he is the one hyping the fight and calling AJ out. He making some noise to promote the fight, getting the fans interest and is more known to the American boxing fans. Yes I know AJ has one big win over Wlad but that doesn't necessarily make him the A side.

Bu, bu but Higgins is a bastard for pawning Joey's belt...

Lmao these AJ fan boys make me laugh. Higgins is crackpot, he's a base head, he's a drunk, he makes Parker look ******. Who looks ****** now dumb asses ? These guys are about to cash out.

Outstanding stuff.

You should get in to PR work.

Hmmmmm, actually yes it does. AJ is a money making superstar the same way Canelo is and they both will always be the A Side in any fight their involved in and therefore they will get the bigger purse. That simple!

No but selling million+ ppvs and selling out stadiums does. It's about what you generate not who talks the most. What aj offered Parker was at least 5x what he can generate himself put %'s aside. In economical terms he's overpaying plain and simple. I'm not complaining though I'm glad the fight is being made it's not my money but that doesn't change the facts.

See, the likes of Parker and Wilder can get a better split than you'd first think because Hearn and Joshua are under pressure from their own fans and investors to deliver the best fights now

It's still likely not the 35% that they've been demanding though; Bob Arum already started out with the "let's try to get the number to 2/3rds to 1/3rd Joshua" a few days ago.

We'll likely never know for sure, but if the split ends up being something like 69/31 Joshua or 68/32 Joshua, who really loses out?

[Removed Now]

Fan of wilders but he needs to do something ASAP. He needs a big name. His team should of been reached out to Parker. I don’t understand Haymon sometimes.

Look at Adonis! Sometimes it falls on the fighters. Some ppl want big money for easy work. You get out, what you put in. I honestly don't they really care about challenging their skills. I mean I can't hate on them as a person but I will not support them.

[Scopedog]

I'm really starting to hate Hearn, always pissing and moaning about money like some stingy old banker. Promoters are scum in general but ever since Joshua got big he's metamorphosed into the second coming of Don King.

[NoMasChenko]

It's all about money , can you blame him? How many of you flocked to AJ's last fight against that bum?

Stop supporting mismatches and things will change
