The monetary figure of the purse hasn't really been disclosed. When we read about percentage splits, many want to say that one side is too low when we don't even get how much the person is being paid.
We've seen how much Parker has been paid in his fights since he won the WBO heavyweight title. They (Duco Events) nearly didn't have the Parker-Ruiz fight for the WBO title when it was vacant in New Zealand because of sponsorship/and last minute approvals.

On top of that, Parker was slated to face Joshua either at the end of last year or the beginning of 2017 but passed on it due to money...he was the #1 contender to the IBF title

So it doesn't matter if Parker is the WBO champ or not...he/his team passed on a fight with Joshua earlier for the IBF belt in order to go after the WBO belt. That would (or should) count against him in these negotiations.
