Parker's promoter offers 60/40 split for AJ fight

Kiwiman be realistic
We all know AJ can pick and choose who he wants to fight and is guaranteed to make mega paydays because UK fans actually don't care who he fights they just worship him so that ain't true. Actually that is the sad and fickle nature of these negotiations. AJ doesn't need them because he can fight Fujimoto @ Wembley ko him in a round and he is better than Ali.

The only reason Fujimoto is on the table for Parker is the Japanese will pay them good money and it's low risk. Parker would get crucified worse than AJ tbh

Kiwi's wouldn't tune in to Parker vs Fujimoto but it won't matter because the Japanese bring the yen. Kiwis would be embarrassed tbh.

Poms will have a little whinge and put their AJ pj's on in their millions and they will watch any way, they are proud of their AJ obsession

 

In which interview did Wilder ask for this 50/50 split to fight AJ?

 

I'd be interested to know too

Eddie and AJ are still waiting for an offer apparently but UkGuy has seen he offered 50/50?

 

No...that's not what I'm saying. Were you good with Floyd offering Manny a flat rate that exceeded anything he had made in the past, was that fair?

 

why cant aj make an offer? just saying . hes the money maker shouldn he be callin the shots?

 

Are you comparing Manny's drawing power to wilders? Manny was already making 20 times what wilder was.
That flat fee off was an insult.

If Joshua offers wilder 2 million for the fight then id say the same thing

 

Why would I compare Wilder's and Manny's drawing power? Do you think I would take the time to come to this board and comment if I weren't aware that Manny makes more than Wilder and was a much bigger draw? The flat fee was more than Manny had ever made in a fight, that doesn't make it fair. Offering Wilder more than he's ever made doesn't make an offer fair, that was the point. It doesn't matter what's happened in the past, what matters is what does the fight look like today. What does it look like relative to other fights, how much can it draw, what does the gate look like, etc. AJ should be the A-side, no doubt, but it doesn't change the fact that Wilder deserves his share as he's bringing the WBC Heavyweight title to the ring, an undefeated record, and the biggest fight AJ can make in foreseeable future.

 

What demands are you referring to?

 

Why not AJ gets 100% UK and Europe Parker gets 100% NZ and Aus area 50/50 rest of world

 

Well we don't know because we haven't seen AJ pluck any bums from god knows where to fight on PPV.

Wilder is on his 39th fight and he STILL fighting bums.

AJ creates heat and electricity everywhere he goes because he has challenged himself, world champ after just 15 fights, knocked out an ATG, and could probably DECIMATE the entire top 10 inside a month if he had to.

It's like when Mike Tyson fought Peter McNeeley, no one cared he was fighting a bum because it was Mike Tyson. He'd earned the right to fight a bum on PPV.

Wilder never earned that right because he's never fought any one except hobos and window cleaners.

 

I'd fight AJ for 5%

 

While I would have thought 70/30 would be fair given the crowd pulling ability of AJ you do have to factor in that Parker has a title which makes big leverage for him, they themselves have to factor in the risk vs reward... you can't hate for that as ALL of the HWs are doing that. If AJ thought fighting Parker was free money then he'd have no issue going 50:50 for the same reason.

 

That's easy. I remember back when ppl asked this but with Mike Tyson in his prime, like with Spinks. Are millions worth 20 secs of being pounded into the ground by Iron Mike?
