Comments Thread For: Joshua, Hearn: Parker is Realistic With Demands, Unlike Wilder

[Jkp]

Hearns not going to pay more than 30 per cent becuase of the knock on effect to future deals eg Wilder becomes that + x. The solution is to give Parker 30 and then add on s that effectively make it closer to 35.

These unification aren't big pay days for Joshua like they are for Wilder and Parker. I'm sure if you offered AJ the massive pay day boost multiplier Wilder and Parker expect then greed would kick in as well and he'd be demanding the fight .. but Wilder and Parker can't offer him that. Its actually low risk for Wilder and Parker as they get that career high pay day even if they lose otherwise they have to win a lot of albeit less risky fights

Once (if) AJ has all the belts, no other fighter will have a belt to leverage with. So there will be no "knock on" effect past these 2 fights.

So Eddie is either extremely greedy, or scared.

Fingers crossed. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a gentleman's agreement of sorts for both camps to shut the **** up while they're on the home stretch.

**** knows Parker’s team need it. All the nonsense they’ve been carrying on with.

I'm guessing the overall purse may come to at least $30M. Parker's cut would be somewhere around $10M! Deontay would have to fight a combined seven more opponents to see $10M. And he thinks he's worth more than the 30-35% being offered to Parker? LOL.

Hearn is the new Bob Arum.

What is Wilder without AJ......Broke

[greeneye99]

Wilder should just negotiate to keep all the US PPV money while AJ and Hearn keep the UK. Pretty sure the US PPV money will be more than the UK money. Without Wilder, Joshua will never be fighting on PPV in the States. He will keep fighting on regular cable channels in the afternoon getting 300k views. But Hearn and AJ are ok with that as long as the UK people continue to attend his fights and paying for his Sky PPV mismatches.

Wilder who Never ever fought on PPV is ok fighting on regular Tv or Showtime for less 2 mill a fight for those Us fans lol

If the overall purse is 30 million, Hearn is trying to get it to where Parker gets less than 10 million but more than 6 million.

His aim is to have Wilder get no more than 10 million in a fight with Joshua.

Wilder being in the US makes him claim that he is worth more than Parker, even though both get around the same buzz worldwide

Wilder could've had some leverage before Hearn scooped up Big Baby! Had Wilder beat Ortiz and Big Baby, and left Joshua with Takam and Parker, AJ would look like an azzhole! Without possibilities of fighting Big Baby, there's not much left for Wilder unless him and Fury get it on!

Hearn scooped up Jarrell Miller because it's a perfect style match-up for Joshua. They're going to try to build Jarrell Miller up to be seen as a legitimate contender and then face him.

Don't get me wrong I think Miller is pretty decent, but stylistically he's perfect for Joshua - someone who stands in front of you who you don't have to look hard to find.

Ironically I think Parker could beat Joshua and lose to Miller, but I think Joshua definitely beats Miller.
