Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker To Air Live on Showtime

[Deus]

dem is tha facts. Erislandy Lara pulls in more viewers on Spike TV with Yuri Foreman!

Now the expected figures from this fight will be unfavorable for team mismatchroom in negotiations for a showdown with Deontay I'm sure -- it took a Klitschko for Anthony to get the kinds of numbers that Wilder pulls with Bermane Stiverne ; how can A.J deny Deontay 50 percent of the purse if he cant do better numbers in a unification with the help of Joe Parker? lets just wait and see.

Simple, contrary to the believe of many Americans the US of A is not the centre of the universe.

Joshua brings in substantial cash globally that far exceeds the amount of cash Wilder can bring in, hence the complete disparity between their purses whenever they fight.

I think you know this really anyway though.

Parker demanded 50% too. Do you not know how negotiating works?

Higgins started at 40%.

If you truly believe that, why don't we place a larger wager on it?

Parker has a fanbase Wildher is basically an unknown. Get outta here delusional prick lol

If Parker has a fan base and Wilder is basically an unknown, why does Wilder have 600,000 followers on Instagram while Parker only has 150,000?

Why are you blatantly lying?

Did you??

The starting point is 50-50. But as a mark of respect, we would accept a bit less. But we will not accept an insult. Why should we?"

Parker's promoter David Higgins responded to Joshua's tweet on Thursday, exclusively telling Sky Sports: "Joshua is accurate - so I will make an offer. I will underwrite and promote the fight anywhere in the world to give Joshua 60 per cent profit.

So yeh... Higgins first offer was 60-40 in Joshua's favour.

PS: Nice attempt at cherry picking.

HBO bid 1.95 $ Million for the fight.

This is the last fight in the Joshua Showtime deal.
No more matching rights for Showtime.

Really? That sounds like a pathetic amount for the once giant of PPV boxing. They spent more on several episodes of Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos. How sad. They have the revenue, but offering that amount just shows they're not heavily invested in boxing any more.

Hahahahah you ****ing ******, that article is literally him going from 50/50 to 60/40. 60/40 was never mentioned before that article. He'd always mentioned 50/50 before that.

Were you under the impression the fight had never been discussed before that article? Where were you?

[Akutalee]

Hahaha you’re right bro

Probably in USA but not in Alabama

[KillaCamNZ]

Popular doesn’t mean your the best, when and if he doesn’t duck Wilder, we will see who the best is, I do agree, he best looking Diva in boxing, she is very popular

Might as well cut the chit chat and come out of the closet, bro.

Own it.

Remember this is a fight not at primetme.This is also the last time Showtime can match Bids from HBO for Joshua.I expect if Joshua wins this,he will hit America for Miller/Povetkin for a build up to the Wilder Fight.Then we will really see who's the bigger draw in Wilder's Home Country LOL.I expect HBO to go after Joshua's next fight if it is in America at Prime Time with real intent
