Parker didn't make 13 mil for the Joshua fight.

[The plunger man]

Judging by all the posts from wilder fans, i have come to one conclusion they don't have 1 brain cell among them.
joshua has made a great offer which far exceeds anything wilder has earnt or is likely to earn.
Joshua earned a £15 million purse against klitchko and was a huge event.
I imagine ths fight shoud do similar numbers and joshua with 3 belts and bringing more food to the aprty has every right to earn $18 million and wilder $12.5 million.....its a fair deal its as simple as that so stop ducking the fight ole chicken legs wilder

So that means AJ only made about 13M in front of 70K fans in a unification fight

Only? Our PPV's are way cheaper and we don't get ****d on ticket prices like in the US... AJ is still the most marketable boxer besides Canelo and nobody else really comes close to him.

Wilder needs Joshua for a huge payday, not the other way round. Joshua can fight journeymen and make far more than Wilder does per fight. I've been to two AJ fights and the atmosphere is always amazing, people will come for that alone.

$18.4 mil. Meanwhile Wilder made $2 mil.

If we put that together what's that? A 90/10 split.

Who said Joshua made $30 mil?

Joshua-Wilder is far closer to Joshua-Klitschko than it is to Joshua-Parker (I'd argue that Deontay Wilder being in his prime and undefeated, with the fight also being for the undisputed heavyweight championship, would make it a bigger fight than Klitschko, but that's a separate conversation) and Joshua and Wladimir split something like $50m.

I've got no idea what Joshua made on the Parker fight, but the gate likely didn't approach the gate at Wembley, and I doubt that the Sky Box Office numbers held up either.

Split the pie fair is all

Hearns tweeted today that the £13m mentioned is more than double what Parker actually got.

If Hearns was making that up I'm sure Higgins would have had something to say by now. He's not backwards in coming forward.

Why would Higgins say anything? It's none of his business and if Parker wants to have a rematch down the line with Joshua why would he damage their relationship? In any case, you can't take what any of these guys say seriously. Not Hearn, not Higgins, not Shelly, none of them.

You got any numbers to back that up? Wilder makes 2 mil for his biggest payday, Klitschko made far more. That tells everyone Klitschko was a way bigger draw. Even in the US Klitschko-Jennings did 1.7 mil on HBO, Wilder-Ortiz did 1 mil on Showtime. Klitschko was a bigger draw. FACT.

That's not how this works. Fights are only big when you have opponents. Hence why Parker was able to negotiate between 30-35%. The Wilder fight is indisputably bigger than the Parker fight, even if Wilder doesn't necessarily make more money per fight than Parker.

In any case, this is all just negotiation tactics. Hopefully it means that the fight will happen sooner rather than later.

But we should take the numbers from rags like the telegraph, numbers they predicted before the fight even happened?

[SkillspayBills]

1. Parker got a 33 percent of the purse FACT
2. Parker didn't make ANYWHERE NEAR the amount he got for the fight when he negotiated 33 percent of the purse FACT
3. Wilder has been a champion longer than Parker FACT
4. Wilder is more popular than Parker FACT
5. Wilder is a better fighter than Parker FACT.
So please, I'M BEGGING YOU. Justify why Wilderbeing offered AT THE MOST 24% of the purse (if the fight made 50 million) and at worse around 10 percent, isn't an abhorrent duck?

I'll wait.............

And Klitschko got an even split, right? 50/50, right? So what's your point?
