    Good for him because that's all he is getting. 35% will still be life changing money v Aj.

    That's nice of him. "I'll accept 7mil!"

    He brings nothing to the table but a belt but if he can get 35% good luck to him!

    I hope "surprise to the upside" doesn't become a saying in England cause for some reason it's extremely irritating.

    AJ officially a duck if the fight doesn't happen.

    35% is a fair split. Wouldn't say he deserves any higher than that but 35% is reasonable.

    Sounds fair. Joshua must take it.

    Parker's team need to be very patient here, or they're going to get played.

    Go on a holiday, guys. Turn off the phone for a few weeks. Let Hearn be the one to sweat.

    You are too anxious to make this happen.

    this fight will happen next

    but the way team parker are going about this is crazy and desperate don't they have any shrewd negotiator?

    they going all over the place you can see how much they want the pay day and hearn is really smart if they just acted with more restraint they most likely could of even got the 40 since hearn has nowhere to really go

    This. Parker and his team are looking very desperate when they have plenty of leverage if they could just exercise a little patience. Conceding 5% this quickly is almost pathetic.

    That I think is the most Parker could possibly expect for this fight. It all comes down to whether Hearn will go for it or try and squeeze them down a few more percent. Maybe to a 67/33 split or a 70/30 split.

    But it's a good sign that they are making compromises. I think it will come down to what Hearn thinks this fight will likely generate. If that split sees Joshua making no more than he did for his last fight with Takam or even take less then he'll definitely push for a lower split for Parker.

    Well done Parker. I think both should except Parker split between 30-35%.
    If I were Parker I will take 30% including all the revenue.
    That is a lot of money.
    Unlike some Alabama bum who don't know how to count.

    Hearn would be mad not to settle at 30% or less.

    Parker's team is giving way too fast
