It looks like AJ will most likely fight Parker next before the mega unification for the undisputed heavyweight champion AJ vs Wilder takes place in the summer or September.
Eddie Hearn on sky said he is still adamant that Parker is not worth more than 30%, infact 30% is already too hight but he's willing to give it Parker to make the fight happen.
Basically 30% will ensure Parker gets his career highest payday, more than 5 times higher than his previous highest payday but AJ will still be getting near the same amount he got for fighting against Takam.
So when Parker demands 35% because it's a unification fight, he should realise AJ is already overpaying him and despite it being a unification AJ's purse will remain the same as his previous fight with Takam while Parker's purse will be multiplied by more than 5 times.
Parker's promoter is flying into the UK and Hearn said they will not conclude the meeting until the fight is made. Hearn also said Wilder has demanded 50% so there was no way AJ vs Wilder could happen next as Wilder has grossly priced himself out.
