    2 mill is his going rate as WBO champ

    But not for a Unification. If they lowball there will be no fight

    Becareful of what you call people you cant see or dont know. You might get banned for that.

    I agree that they are still in negotiations. The thing that annoys me is Hearn was saying 'Wilder hasn't even made an offer' as if to say Wilder doesnt really want the Joshua fight. So then Parker obviously hears that and makes an offer and then Hearn comes back with a silly offer.

    Wlad gave guys 50/50 because he wanted to show everyone he was the best. Joshua is not giving 50/50. I think Hearn is behind it because I know Joshua would want to fight anyone.

    He did himself no favours with the god awful Fury fight. 20% of a fight with Joshua is better than he can get facing mandos or Lucas Browne in NZ or OZ.

    I suspect it could have something to do with American television.

    Joshua has one fight to go on his Showtime deal before he jumps ship to HBO.

    The most attractive opponents for Joshua (from an American television perspective) are the top Americans plus unification fights (preferably both).

    The top Americans are Wilder & Miller. HBO may want to preserve them as opponents for Joshua until he is ready to fight on their network.

    It's possible therefore that Joshua's next opponent could be a stooge.

    To counter that line of thought, if Joshua goes to the US for his next fight, presumably they will want an opponent who is going to generate plenty of interest.

    In addition, while he may be about to jump ship to HBO, it's probably a good idea to depart Showtime on good terms by giving them a decent farewell fight.

    In which case Big Baby re-enters the equation.

    Parker v Big Daddy will go off, Mrs Stifler.

    There's a million Kiwis in Melbourne.

    They'll all turn up.

    So he offered £3 million. Not a bad starting point considering he got less than a mil on his last one. That said, I think 6-7 mil is abput fair.

    This. Hearn already set the bar on what he pays champions with Martin getting $8.5 million. Parker and Wilder for sure are going want more, since they are both far more accomplished champions than Martin.

    Wilder earned 1.4 mill last fight Parker not much more against Fury. Joshua earned 10 million pound Takam 750,000 pound(as a fill in). Pound is higher than the dollar. Joshua is the A-side. Wilder and Parker should fight each other and the winner will get a bigger slice of the pie.

    Hearns reply. They maybe more to this, too early to jump to conclusion. I do think Parker deserves at least 30%.
    But to use Martin purse as a guideline is incorrect. That purse is basically to buy off Martin's belt while taking out from Joshua's purse.
    While I do think Joshua-Parker is bigger but how big is the actual pot?
