    Great. I hope they "maximize" profits by pushing it back to the summer.

    Of course he is.

    Because Wilder was offered Whyte.

    And Parker was offered Joshua.

    To "really" maximize Joshua-Parker, they should insist Parker fight Whyte first, and then give Joshua an easy tuneup with Wilder.

    So Joshua and Parker can fight for all the belts and MAXIMIZE their MAXIMIZED opportunity.

    After all, Joshua-Parker is the BIGGER fight. Everyone says so. And there aren't any stadiums available in March. Everyone explained that to me ad nauseum earlier this week.

    Can't MAXIMIZE a fight without a stadium. It simply can't work.

    Right guys!!!

    Parker dosen't need any names on his resume, he's earned the AJ payday first and I hope he does well.

    I get the feeling if Parker fights AJ first, Deontay is gonna get jealous!

    DW in the meantime will turn down his biggest payday, Whyte to take on some top 20 ranked 6 foot, generic journeyman to pad up his record to set up the AJ fight.

    I just know this. I don’t judge fighters or people on that matter on what they’re good at but how they handle adversity. Parker is a poor character and just wants a payday. He will get KTFO. I give Wilder and Andre Ward a better chance over Parker. Parker won’t even produce as tough a challenge as Takam.

    the moment when AJ/Parker is official, I bet Wilder will go on his Instagram and he'll rant..."he didn't want the fight! This is proof I'm the most feared heavyweight!"

    Parker fought in the UK v Hugie Fury which should have increased his profile, Wilder was given the same option via Whyte..

    Parker took up the challenge and now is negotiating a fight with the golden egg, his promoter also started a public bid of 60/40 so you know they are serious about getting the fight.

    This fight will most likely happen.

    Wilder on the other hand priced himself out of the Whyte fight and has been crapping on about AJ needing to fight in the US, wanting 50/50 splits because his is exciting and generally carrying on like an idiot.

    This fight may not happen because if Wilder prices himself out again and AJ wins against Parker then Fury may be back in shape for that mega fight and thats the one AJ's team wants, not because it will be easier but because it will make far more money than anything else..
