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

That’s the price of fame lol, at the end of the day AJ is the golden ticket. Did Wilder and Parker even considered fighting each other? I mean that would have place those two belts in one hand and more bargaining chip in a AJ negotiation, but nah they would rather cash that belt one by one. Oh well as long as the belts ends up in one boxers hand at the end of the day.

Good post, this. Makes total sense to me. It's all about the cash isn't it

Wilder claims he talked to Parker and Parker wasn't interested in making the fight. Parker's promoter Higgins said they were pursuing AJ because he is by far an easier, less dangerous fight.

Truth be told, both are dangerous for Parker, and I think both beat him. I think Ortiz and Povetkin beat him too. AJ is the biggest money fight, so that is why he is taking it. AJ is going after Parker so he can put the Wilder fight off. Hopefully Wilder will fight Ortiz and the winners meet.

Joshua is going after Parker before Wilder as Parker’s team are much easier to deal with; nothing to do with trying to avoid Wilder at all.

But yes hopefully Wilder faces Ortiz and the winners meet.

More likely that Wilder faces Breazeale. He doesn't want to lose that money ticket
