Parker will earn £7 million, while AJ close to £18 million!

What article says that?

Mandatories get 25-30% depending on the sanctioning organization. There's no way Parker, for an undefeated vs undefeated unification accepted less than 30%.

Hearn offered 30% many times and Parker always said no. Why would he then accept 28%? Doesn't make any sense.

25-30% when fights go to Purse bid.

25-30% when fights go to Purse bid.

Correct, but knowing AJ has to pay his mandatories that, Parker's team understandably didn't want to take less than 35%, although it seems they ended up taking around 33%.

Thank you for pointing that out. I just read the article. It's definitely wrong. There's no way Parker took 28%. Higgins has already stated publicly Parker got between 30-35, close to in the middle.

Higgins has an interest in saying his fighter got a bigger piece of the purse. Maybe it was actually 28%.

I would bet my life that it's not 28%.

If and when the split is finally officially revealed, I guarantee you it'll be approximately halfway between 30-35, just as Higgins said.

Hearn repeatedly offered 30%. Yet you believe Higgins then somehow negotiated Hearn down to 28%? Doesn't make any sense.

Maybe the 28% is just the guaranteed minimun purse.

Or maybe a random clickbait British tabloid article isn't the most trustworthy source for private financial information?

It can be. But also I wouldnt Trust a promoter so much.

His purse was reported at 10 million pounds (so 13-14 million USD?).

It's possible he made more than that, but 30 million like that other poster said? Not happening.

The £10 mill figure reported was his guaranteed minimum not his final payday, so depending upon the PPV he could of made more.

Some reports are saying Joshua/Takam did about 600K which seems believable considering who he was facing. So that's about £12 mill from the PPV, add about £7 mill from the live gate if we use the Joshua/Klitschko figures if we scale down. Then you are looking a few mill from overseas rights and sponsorship, you're probably looking at about a total revenue of about £22 mill or $30 mill.

So yeah I can't see that $30 mill figure for AJ being realistic at all. He probably made about $18-20 mill for Takam.

Of which, half goes to the cable/satellite systems.

Leaving you 6, of which AJ & Matchroom take out expenses, and then split 80/20 in AJ's favor. So AJ would be lucky to end up with 4 of that original 12.

Nice payday for Parker. Everything points towards this being a great fight, even if Joshua is the clear favourite. I don't see Parker going down easy, if at all.
