Parker's statement about going as low as 35% was bogus,according to Hearn.

I'm pretty sure that was Hearns response to the initial offer from Hearn which Higgins said was insulting and half of what Martin was given.

It's not a response to Parker saying he'd go to 35%.

 

I don't think so and will stand by my opinion that team parker will avoid this fight next.

Though would like to see it and see one more RELEVANT win under Joshua .

It will then force more pressure on Wilder who also doesn't really want this fight next either .

 

This isn't a case where Parker doesn't want the fight at all. It's the position that Joshuas stiff ass and Hearn are greedy. I expect them to low ball Parker. 35% is fair for Parker in the U.K. It's a unification fight. You have to spend money to make money.

 

Here's the big issue you're going to have with small time fighters like Parker and Wilder....

"Not proposals to pay us a fixed amount, without revealing the total revenue".


They have no idea what big revenue fights generate, so they have no right do demand a decent percentage.

 

Greedy?

Parker's team are so useless at their job, they want Hearn to reveal how he makes so much money for his fighters.


All this talk of Parker and Wilder being the 'best opponents'.....Their teams are amateurish.

 

That makes so much sense. It truly shows how small they are.

 

This is Parker and Joshua. Wilder isn't negotiating here. Joshua and Hearn aren't going to be paying peanuts to unify the belts. In the U.K. they are the A side. They will still make 60-65% over the other 2 in the U.K. There is no way around that. It isn't Parkers team that's pathetic its greedy ass Hearn. Joshua's stiff ass is just a reluctant scumbag.

 

Parker's team isn't pathetic?

They've just admitted to Hearn that they have absolutely no idea how to promote a fight.

 

Yeah recent disclosures do show that they are clearly out of their depth and there is a reason why Wilder and Parker are such small draws in comparison to Joshua.

Look at the link below. Higgins thinks a voluntary earns 20-25% and a mandatory earns 30% lmao. So a unification should be 40%.

Takam earned $1.5 mill against Joshua if reports are to be believed that's probably not even 10% of the total purses. But apparently to Higgins and Duco that's 20-25%.

Higgins also says he thinks as it's a unification it should generate 2-3 times as much as a voluntary defence. So lets say AJ/Takam generated about $20mill that means Higgins thinks there is $40-60 mill on the table so he want between $16-24 million! Hearn doesn't think it's much bigger than a voluntary because Parker doesn't bring many fans and the UK market is already pretty much saturated as even for voluntaries big number pay to see Joshua. Joshua/Wlad did $39 mill but that was with Wlad bringing in the usual $7 mill from RTL which dwarfs what Parker will bring.

It's this difference in opinion that has led to Parker's team wanting Hearn to reveal his financials which is a pretty crazy thing to ask for, not sure if anyone has asked about that before when negotiating a fight.

He also says tha Joshua could just go make more fighting a voluntary, which means he expects Joshua to take a pay cut to make this fight happen, which is ludicrous to think any fighter would when so much money is on the line. Higgins is over playing their hand.

Hearn should offer Parker and Wilder a career high pay day + travel costs.

See if they do 'want the fight'.

 

No offense but post the quote. And if you do show proof that they can't promote a fight then I apologize.

 

Parker will take the fight eventually

He's an idiot if he doesn't

Career high pay day for him

 

Do i really need to quote the OP?

Higgins doesn't even know the difference between a voluntary, mandatory and unification.
(Evidenced by the OP)


Higgins doesn't understand how to promote a fight properly, hence he wants Hearn to reveal where, and how, he is generating revenue.
(Evidence by the OP)

 

I asked for proof and this isn't proof. What are you even talking about?
