Heavyweight division is not much right now and this shows it as do past fights. Not a knock divisions go thru this for years at a time.

Fa needs to get a real last name with more letters in it, lol.

Fa is his middle name ,Junior is his last and his first is Uaine or something. I’d probably go with what he did for easier promotion.

Bad timezone for UK PPV I'd have thought. Middle East you may be able to do the same crowd with a site fee and keep the UK PPV numbers

They are talking the possibility of 2 million (with SKY and BT, I think the current ppv record is just over 1.5) at 30ukd -> 40$. According to Arum UK providers take a much smaller cut than US (50% ??) so that's a lot of change to leave on the table.

Your point is valid, but I do think it is worth pointing out it is not anywhere near the worst era. Look who Larry Holmes had to settle for when he was HW champ. Then go back and look at who Klitschko had to tangle with. Find a decent name.

This era of HW is not going to carve it's place as a fantastic time to be a HW boxing fan, especially considering how many good fights have NOT been made. But I will take what we have now over those two any day.

I don’t mind this fight for Parker due to the domestic rivalry from way back, and the fact that it really is the best time to fight your fights in your own country with the pandemic around.

Better than all the bums he has been fighting since losing to Shyte.

Heavyweight is quite healthy right now and we have had a lot of good fights last few years. This "era" has about 5 years left in it so there's more to come.

They could do the fight at 11am for a 10pm UK time, it's feasible, might be that Australia is a better option though, but yeah the Saudi money will be far more than any of those two
