Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Parker Nears: Both Sides Reach Agreement on Split

[jackkeane6]

Eddie Hearn and mismatchroom just let the public know that they are not as big as they think! New Zealand is nothing compared to the American market! it looks like Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder is calling the shots in negotiations, I dont want to hear any B.S from the local boys from the UK! suck it!

You sir, don’t know **** about boxing

Yawn, not so excited about this fight, another unknown tomatoe can for AJ the Body Builder/juicehead. Hopefully this clown and his spoiled brat promoter step up to the plate and give the fans what we really want, Wilder vs Chump. This guy is going to beat Martin, and now Parker for titles, what a joke. The WBC is still the most prestigious belt. Try to grab that belt and beat a real champ!

Joshua wants to unify and Parker is just another step to archieve that goal. Wilder will be next or maybe Joshua faces some mandatory after Parker. I think we will see Joshua vs. Wilder in late 2018. Thats if Wilder doesnt get knocked out by Ortiz in March and thats a real possibility.

Lol, the fanboyism of some people....

So explain why Wilder wasn't chasing Parker himself? If he's such an easy fight he should have took it and came to the table with 2 belts, then he really could demand close to 50/50.
Its all good and well calling him a tomato can, but the reality is that he holds a real world recognised belt and his record is just as good as Wilder's. Neither have really fought anyone of note or set the world on fire with their charisma.

He needs to face reality and come to the negotiating table with a realistic split that pleases both, because right now he looks like he's ducking by pricing himself out till the Parker fight is finalized.

I'd probably much prefer to see the Wilder fight because he looks like a more live challenger, I don't see Parker lasting too long if he comes out swinging, but I give him a chance at a decision if he can stick and move, because Joshua fights quite flat footed.

feels like theres a report about them being near an agreement every week now

If Parker gets 30% - 35%, Wilder should get 35% - 40%.

What makes you think Parker will be sparked out clean by Robbot?....This is heavyweight boxing,...the road is narrow now and no mo taxi drivers for Joshua. Parker is legitimate. If Wladimir at 41 did that to Joshua, what will Parker do? kill him, if he will be careless to expose his stiff head and lose his oxygen. As for me, I see Parker giving us an upset.

I think you're wrong. To me, Parker has looked very unskilled and unimpressive. To me, Parker is the weakest of the top heavyweights. This is the heavyweight division though and we know Joshua can be caught, so who knows?

Parker got between 30 and 35%. Wilder will get between 40 and 45%.

Thank you for telling us Eddie Hearn.
