Would Chisora vs Parker be a PPV fight, on its own, without the WBSS final?

I doubt it, and it certainly wouldn't sell as well without being paired with Taylor Prograis. In any case, it seems like Chisora isn't complaining about his money, as such, just the billing.

It seems like he's complaining about both. Seems like he'll accept 2nd billing, but only if his purse spikes. He'll get some kind of concession to his liking. The 140lb WBSS, as much as hard-core fans might be interested, is definitely not a PPV fight without a strong undercard. Chisora, despite his losses, knows his value to this card. So does Hearn.

That's what makes no sense to me. The reason why pro fighters want to headline PPV events is because the headliners get more money. It's about business, not just egos. Him saying he wants more money for not being the headliner is crazy, but that's what seemed to be bothering him. Like he only wants more money because it hurts his feelings that somebody else's name is in bigger letters than his on the posters. Because that's all it boils down to, really.

Chisora is fighting a former heavyweight champion in a heavyweight fight. That fight sells better than the WBSS super lightweight title fight, without question.

No he isn't, you clown. Chisora is a journeyman, a fringe heavyweight contender at best. Prograis-Taylor is between two world class fighters, the two best at 140lbs. They are the main event and you should be aware of that fact. Chisora is the clubfighter, the brawler.

This dude is a bum who the **** cares about him on world stage?

That's like Dave Allen wanting to be the main event on Lomachenko v campbell these Brits are delusional smh...

No it doesn't put those two head to head and wbss finals will generate more

Can't really say I blame Chisora honestly

Prograis vs Taylor is a GREAT FIGHT...for the Hardcore Boxing Fans but Chisora no questions is BY FAR the biggest Draw on the Card and should headline vs Parker which is also a very good fight

Poor Prograis tried to stick up for himself and his fight but Chisora wasn't having it. Nothing personal towards him I'm sure him and Taylor just got caught up in the Cross Fire targeting Eddie Hearn

This Season of WBSS was a complete FLOP as far as overall interest and ticket sales on its own so again Chisora is right "Nobody Gives a F#CK About That Ali Trophy"

I'll only be watching for Chisora, I mean....why else would anyone watch this anyway, it's a snoozefest without him

If Chisora/Parker and Prograis/Taylor were on different shows at the same time I would watch Prograis/Taylor, without a doubt. It's a much bigger and more interesting fight and I'm 100% sure it will be more exciting and entertaining.

The Prograis and Taylor bout is a unification for *****'s sake lol...

[BobLoblaw]

I don't agree with Del but I certainly enjoyed his antics. He's now generated more interest in the fight and sparked debate. I just hope he fights Parker and we don't have Eddie pluck Hughie as a replacement. The World Title rematch that nobody would want to see.

Scotland is part of the UK and the WBSS has become a popular event in England.

Yes I know Scotland is part of the UK. That doesn't change that people don't know who he is in general. Chisora is a name in british sport.

WBSS is popular? Really? Last time I checked it's done one show in the UK that was even remotely successful, and the rest of the shows stunk at the ratings.
