Comments Thread For: Parker Would Get 55% of Split in Joshua Rematch, Says Higgins

there won't be a rematch so this dont matter

Will hold off until Eddie Hearn confirms that, because Higgins' cred is shot

The notion that Anthony Joshua is going to go from paying 30%-33% to then paying 55% is pretty foolish.

And that's before even knowing how the fight goes.

From a purely business perspective, it just doesn't make sense

Little man who struggled with Hughie Fury and Eddie Hearn will sell it to all the muppets as Ali v Frazier .....

Bare in mind the rematch is only if Joshua loses, thus it does make sense.

We’re joshua to lose, he would be in no position to demand the higher purse against Parker, who in bay situation would be holding 4 of the 5 belts. Therefore 55/45 is pretty fair, if anything should be 60/40.

I presume the deal will be if Joshua wins on points (unless Ud by more than 3 points on average on score cards) Parker gets a rematch , while a KO or one sided scorecard means no entitlement. That would seem fair to me. Also in a close scorecard scenario a rematch would bring in even bigger money for a summer fight anyway so would be win win for Joshua really.

You delusional fool of a manager you really believe the Top A side in all of boxing will give you 55%?

This post right here, is a great example of why commenting without reading the article, makes people look ******.

Clever move if true. There won't be a rematch though.

This is all without knowing how the fight went, buy why give up 55% of your pot, when he could fight Tyson Fury (or even the David Haye vs Tony Bellew winner) and likely earn more money, while also putting the screws to Parker (though we haven't seen the fight yet, I don't rate Parker all that highly; I think Wilder, Povetkin, Tyson Fury, and Pulev all beating him until shown otherwise).

An option is simply an option, tbf.

Depending on how the fight goes, Joshua vs Fury draws a bigger pot than Joshua-Parker or Joshua-Parker 2. Heck, in terms of pure money, David Haye is likely a bigger fight.

After Joshua, what really is there for Parker to get? When it comes to sheer dollars, there's not a fight on the planet for him to get $10m with. (Deontay Wilder helps unify the division, in another tough fight, for likely significantly less than the first Joshua fight).

What's to stop Joshua from simply settling domestic scraps (aid in the rebuild, while also being the biggest money) before then simply saying "hey Parker, here's $15m for you to bring the belts back to the UK and try that again"?

Both Ruiz and dancing boy Fury are better then Whyte who I consider Joshua's toughest fight not including Wlad. Breazeale is his next best and he was just a punching bag, no movement what so ever.
Parker has been fighting heavier over his last 2-3 fights and lost speed and they know this hasn't worked for them so back to his lighter fight weight like he was against Dimitrenko, check that fight out and then tell me if you still think he is slow and robotic.
If it goes to the cards then of course Joshua wins, even if Parker looked the better he still wouldn't get the decision. I just think Joshuas constant gains in fighting weight will be his down fall against Parker who will be coming in fitter,faster and hungrier then ever. You are right tho he hasn't felt Joshua or Wilder power but he backs his chin and I think his movement and speed will frustrate Joshua, Joshua is more a combo guy not one punch fighter to get his opponent out of there and he may find that tricky to land on Parker. Who knows exciting fight anyway.best

i)" Better opponents" than AJ very debatable but they are good relatively, problem is a lot of people have Joe losing 2-3 of those fights. Look at the ring current top 10 heavyweights for opponents -> AJ 2 , Joe 1 Wilder 0
ii) "Joe has better chin", possibly true, he's not faced a power puncher yet at AJ, Wilder level but that could be true.
ii) "As quick" .. did you see the Fury fight Joe is not that quick. Fury made Joe look very slow and robotic just he had no punch. AJ isn't as fast as either Fury but he's not that slow.
iii) "A lot busier" .. jurys out on that one.
iv) "Parker by KO middle rounds" .. seriously Joe hasn't KO'ed anyone in how long and that includes a step up sparing partner whoever he was. You are seriously underestimating AJ.

My prediction Joe to go the distance but be bust up and well down on points.
