Hearns response to the Duco press conference

This. Takam at his best is a top 15-20 fighter with no power that can give top 10 fighters rounds, but that's about it.

 

Joshua's lawyers/fans are negotiating what's fair for Joshua opponents. And Hearn and his tiny ass two front teeth which are smaller than his canines and side teeth sounding like he has cotton in his mouth when he talks is a scumbag. Tiny ass two front teeth lmao. Makes me sick listening to his clown ass. Low ball offer number 1. Next up Wilder. Outcome: Low ball offer number 2.

 

Lowball = low chance of any fight happening

 

Actually, officially he did. He gave Joshua a better test than anyone who has faced AJ aside from Klitschko.

 

If Hearn has made an offer nobody seems to know what it is. All we have heard from Hearn is 'no deal' to everything Duco have said. Sounds very much like Hearn doesn't want the fight.

 

Duco will walk if Hearn gets too greedy
They will fight Lucas Browne in Sydney or Melbourne and pull 40,000 in one of their stadiums easy. The pacific community in those cities would bring that number
Parker will win and then he will do the same thing in China verses their heavyweight
He will win that and then think about doing the same thing in Japan verses theirs.
In between Joshua's star will wane, he will be forced to go to Wilder first
Then he will have to go back to Parker offering thirty five percent
In between Parker will earn a truck load of dough and be one year wiser

 

Masterpiece post.

 

I doubt Joshua's star will wane. Most of his fan base are the casuals, even if the hardcore abandon him, the casuals will ensure he still fills stadiums and is on PPV for every fight. He'll make more money in his next fight than Parker will in the next year.

Hearn has already publicly rejected the 35% offer and Higgins hasn't walked away and still wants to negotiate from his latest comments, so Hearn knows he can get Parker for less than 35% otherwise Higgins would of already walked away.

Hearn said 25% would be under valuing Parker so it looks like he's pushing for 30% if what he said is true. I still believe this fight can be made at 70/30 which hopefully neither side should turns down.

 

Parker vs Browne is a huge fight (for this region at least) with the belt on the line, without it I don't think it's nearly as big.

Just like AJ vs Parker isn't nearly as big without the WBO strap!
Browne is more legit and has better wins than Whyte and has a perfect record!

 

People need to remember the just how much money AJ generates when thinking of these percentages, 70/30 of a 20+ mill pot is at the very least 6 million for Parker that is a HUGE payday for him. He would be lucky to earn half of that from 50/50 split with wilder. How anybody can say 70-30 under these circumstances is a low ball is beyond me. This is no different that these celebrities who have to pay extortionate amounts of child support every month or these woman who marry rich men and want 50% of his money just because they were married.

 

True though I think this fight generates even more than that. 78K turned out for Joshua/Takam that's similar to what turned out for Froch/Groves 2 at Wembley and that fight generated £22 mill or $28.8 mill at todays currency rates. Joshua/Wlad was a unification bout and that was even bigger generating a purse pot of £30 mill or $39.3 mill.

Even if the fight doesn't do as well as Joshua/Wlad and does somewhere between Froch/Groves 2 and Joshua/Wlad, lets day $35 mill which is less than Duco is estimating the fight does then you're talking about $10.5 mill USD for 30%. Even if the fight does no better than the Takam fight that's $8.6 mill. Parker for 30% could be looking at anything between $8.6 mill to $11.79 mill or perhaps more if it does better than Joshua/Wlad.

When you consider Parker is making between $1-1.5 mill per fight, probably more if he fights Browne, Parker is looking at several years worth of purses for 1 fight. Parker could make more for this one fight than the rest of his career combined. Also if the fight is close the rematch would make him even more money.

 

They are pricing themselves out of the fight.

He holds a 1/4 slice of a world belt that he won vacant against Andy Ruiz Jr and struggled. Struggled against Takam and struggled against Hughie Fury in one of the worst HW title fights of recent times. Only selling point now is that he has never been knocked down, which is not surprising given the quality of opponents on his record.

Duco should take the money. 30/70 is over generous and I wouldn't be surprised if Hearn shuts the door on these clowns.

 

They will never go for that as the NZ PPV money isn't minor compared to the UK PPV revenue.
