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

[NahMean]

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.

Hearn himself said he made 20mil against Takam. The Fury fight will break all records.. After that the next big fight will be Dubois but thats like 3 or 4 years away.

Povetkin's not a gimme either though, and the money on that fight likely ends up being the same, or less, than what looks to be coming in on the Parker fight.

Danger is relative; this is going to be ridiculous as an example, but would you rather bungie jump off of a cliff platform for $100 or skydive out of a plane for $300?

There are a lot of things you can do in this business to protect your fighter.

Using judges, using refs, using fire alarms, using poison, using all sorts of things.

The hardest thing to stop though is one punch knockout power.

That is what you keep your fighter away from if at all possible, and if not possible, you delay delay delay.

AJ is no slouch. AJ would even be the slight favorite. Hearn isn't opposed to the fight happening. Just not next. Not when Povetkin is so much safer. Povetkin, off drugs, doesn't have anywhere near the power Wilder has.

Promoters lie.

That may be the case, tbh. Will have to see what he looks like against David Price to see.

Just shows how big boxing is in Europe in consistent fashion.

But you take Higgings word as true...?

I take Higgins word that he didn't convince Hearn to go down from 30 to 28

Do you have a source of Hearn stating he was offering them 30?

dont think hearn himself ever publicly said 70/30, but it was widely reported by numerous credible sources.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/boxing/la-sp-sn-boxing-arum-espn-joshua-20171208-story.html

Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has proposed a 70-30 split with Parker, whose team is countering for 65-35.

Nothing to get embarrassed about here. Good money for both, if you look what each brings to the table
