Comments Thread For: Parker's Manager: Fa is Not Realistic, Wants Astronomical Money

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to David Higgins, the manager for former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker, potential challenger Junior Fa is asking for far too much money. As BoxingScene.com previously reported, Fa and his manager Mark Keddell believe the money being requested is not unreasonable, because the contest would create a big event in New Zealand between two boxers who are highly ranked in the top ten of the WBO.

Junior Fa's team is asking for a 70/30 split. Fa is highly ranked so what is so astronomical about that percentage?
Parker's is acting like he still owns a World Title, quit being a Diva and give Junior his 30%.

[ShaneMosleySr]

30-percent is totally fair. Make the fight!

[Mammoth]

Give him like 25%

Didnt fa's team ask for 30% ?? Thats what they just claimed , and that is not unreasonable whatsoever imo. I know Fa is top 10 with the wbo but he is not an actual top 10 fighter , but he is a good fighter and has a legit shot to beat joseph imo . Seems like a bad move for parker ( management wise ) unless it's a final eliminator . Parker should be fighting names right now. Hes fought a string of nobodies since whyte . He needs to stay relevant , and more importantly fight a top 10 fighter . Ortiz , ruiz ( if hes been getting in shape which is questionable) , and hunter are all available and are makable fights off the top of my head once this pandemic passes

Pillow cost Parker and his joke of a promoter back to throwing out excuses to avoid good fights. This Parker guy is truly a frustrating guy to like. Ducked chrisora with a spider bite excuse and now 30% too much? Ima start ignoring anything parker related

Parker has one last fight on his matchroom contract. So I'm curious as to where Fast Eddie fits into this?

Does he make the fight and stage it as a headliner in NZ/Australia or put Parker in with the Usyk/Chisora winner as a final eliminator on a AJ/Fury undercard, if all things play out ?

Fair play for Team Fa to call Parker out but who puts up the prize money, promotes the fight and where ?

And why is Higgins running point on this? Anyone seen Eddie yo?

[Chippie]

70% to the winner and 30% to the loser I wish alot more fights where like that, the fighters would be training the ar#e off to get the W

[JakeTheBoxer]

Parker should fight better opposition. Usyk, Chisora, Hunter. Fa is irrelevant in division.

[famicommander]

Why is this even a story?

Junior Fa is a terrible fighter. He's barely top 100 material.
