The funny thing about all of this. Too many people arguing life and death, insults thrown and for what?? The only way this fight gets made is for everyone to actually demand it and it be done properly. Real negotiations for this fight will be when they start to discuss percentages. There is no flat fee in a fight of this magnitude. Hell Joseph Parker got around 32% for his fight with Joshua. Are you guys going to seriously think this fight will get made without a percentage??? Like so many of you say this is a business. Unification fights are ALWAYS percentages. How about uniting against Hearn and Finkell about stopping the nonsense and just get the fight done!!

Parker didn't get a percentage , I think some LDBC types or Finkel claimed they knew Parkers flat few devalued the fight and then expressed it as a percentage. The actual amount was never revealed .

"Parker's promoter David Higgins of Duco has confirmed that they've received a contractual offer from Eddie Hearn, who handles Joshua, where the two sides have agreed upon the revenue split for a potential fight in the UK in March or April of 2018.
"We're really, really close," said Higgins. "We've agreed the ratio. The Joshua side gave a small concession, and we've agreed that the Parker side will get somewhere between 30 and 35 percent."

AJ v Whyte 2 nailed on for April imo.
Boxing Orgs have shown time and time again, that they'll do what is in their own best interests. They govern their belt by their own rules, as there is no over-arching governance that says "unification trumps mandatory". It doesn't exist.
Some are better than others at allowing pursuit of unification, but in cases like the IBF and WBO for starters, their Champ needs to have an exemption granted.

No one cares about AJ or Povetkin. The fight hasn't even sold out yet. This will be the first fight AJ hasn't sold out and Eddie Hearn will be devastated.
