Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter: Exposing Joshua's Glass Jaw Got Us The Fight

Agreed...

And I’m from America!

You've mistaken the UK for the USA.

Brits give respect to any fighter that has earned it. It's the Americans who think other countries can't fight.

AJ didn't want to unify even though they paid millions more than Parker is worth??

You think a fighter who gets paid 1.5 Mill was lowballed with about 8 Mill? Hahahaha

And you call me an idiot?

Eddie Hearn’s opening offer was 3 million USD so yeah I’d say that was a lowball offer.

I don’t think Parker is necessarily a coward for wanting to make as much as he can. Fact is he comes from NZ which is a small market and he will probably never see this type of money again unless he were to win which is unlikely.

It’s different for a Joshua, he could lose and still go on to many more mega paydays as the UK is a large market and very loyal to their fighters.

Let the kid get his payday and AJ get his belt.

Can't wait until their 15 minutes are up.

Smashed by Wlad, gets up. NOT a glass ****ing jaw idiots.

[Boxing Scene]

Higgins, great job, sure wish it was Wilder tapping on that glass chin

Tell me how someone gets hit by Wlad and gets up to beat him and has a glass jaw. And an undefeated record. Explain that. No you can't.

...because wlad isn't the only one to have put him down.

To be sure, the giant robot has a glass chin waiting to be cracked.

Good post.

Every time this idiot opens his mouth garbage comes out.

You got the fight due to AJ wanting to unify, nothing else. They even had to over-pay for the fight because Parker and his camp are cowards. AJ really wanted it. Parker only wanted it if he got a kings ransom.

Prepare for your beating in March and shut-up.

NSB logic

This **** might fly if he priced himself out of the fight - but he didn't. Hearn agreed, and it'll be in the bank.

Hearn had to agree because they need a big fight and AJ wanted to unify.

If you don't think it's excessive getting paid 12 Mill when you usually only get about 1.5 Mill, then you're lying to yourself.

This is the only way this fight was ever getting made. By overpaying. Hearn even said so a few weeks back.

That's fine - it doesn't particularly matter if they paid 12 million or 12 cents. It has no bearing on Parker being a coward or not - as you say he is.

You're making a connection that isn't there. Parker & Co saw an opportunity to make money, they negotiated, had some leverage because AJ needed a big fight - as you just said - and they're guaranteed great coin. That doesn't make him a coward. Every fight has a negotiation, and every fighter wants to maximize the money they can make.

If you're going to push an agenda, at least try and make sense with it. Otherwise, it sounds ****ing ******.
