    think Parker is worth 35% tbh. Hes a champion coming away from home and putting belt on the line. Yes AJ bigger draw but they need a big ish name (Parker, Wilder, Haye) as they cant keep fighting Takam and co.
    for me its an interesting fight as well. expect AJ to win but wouldn't be completely shocked if he lost

    Joshua is not as powerful as Wilder.Wilder needs one shot to Ko Him,Joshua needs 3 or 4 Shots on the Go.I see Joshua beating Parker on Points but i see Wilder beating Joshua by Late Round Stoppage because i think Joshua wont change in terms of his Muscle Mass which will make him Gas.The Muscles are part of his Image/Brand

    What could happen is that Parker and Wilder keep hold of their belts longer than Joshua does.
    Then Joshua may come knocking on their door for a title shot. In that case, Hearn will have to concede a lot more.
    That's just one example of where the belts demonstrate themselves as serious currency.

    Another example is where some new contender comes along who is a massive draw like Joshua, or someone like Povetkin's Russian promoter comes up with a massive offer for Parker or Wilder in particular ... and suddenly Parker or Wilder have a better option than having to squeeze 35% out of Hearn.

    There's, of course, an obvious risk to Parker or Wilder turning down the possibility of 35% of an AJ showdown. But people are ignoring the other possibilities.

    They'll settle on 32.5%. Fight gets made.

    Parker deserves a third because he has the one belt out of the three.

    Massive money for him even if he takes that split and means we would be one fight away from a four belt showdown with Wilder.

    I am a Parker fan and think 30% is a good offer and something he should definitely take but what he has earned previously isn't that relevant.

    Who really cares how much he earned before, he has always taken the lions share of the loot.

    Why would he settle for a 5mill when AJ gets 20mill?, of course he wants a better deal fighting AJ he has everything against him. If AJ lands a 3 piece combo the ref will simply jump in and stop the fight, Parker will be getting warned every time he lands a punch to stop hurting the golden goose.

    AJ has only fought 1 other world champion and he didn't take even 50% let alone 80%

    If Parkers management take less than 35% they need sacking .. Let Eddie sprout has much has he wants , he needs a name opponent , he needs that belt so he can hold Wilder to ransom for less than 50%, he needs a fight that can sell tickets and ppv , so go through them, start at the bottom .

    Haye --- Nope not fit and if he gets fit its Bellow , not getting ko'd by AJ

    Bellow --- No brainer , its Haye , or even a massive payday against Fury if he can swing it , not happening

    Povetkin --- Not a chance , too dangerous and it would have to be in Russia

    Ortiz --- No way to dangerous can box and punch a bit at least enough to hurt AJ

    Wilder --- Not happenning , they will want 50-50 or in the states , Eddiee will use it has a cash out fight

    Fury -- pontential for a massive fight providing AJ remains unbeaten , but probably 12 months away at least .

    Parker --- Asbolutly perfect , not been looking great , smaller , and will sell , plus has the belt

    So if they hold out for 35% and Eddie says no who's he got , rematch with Whyte , could happen but not gonna sell big time , Chisora , same , Miller no way there not going to the states to fight just yet , and will not sell there .
    For all his mouthing off , the only big money fight out there is Parker , they could take say Whyte , but it sells for example 30,000 at a stadium and say 100 000 ppv , lets say it pulls 10 million Aj gets 70% Whyte 30% so 7 for Aj 3 for Whyte .

    Now do the figures with Parker , 60,000 at the stadium and 200, 000 ppv lets say it generaTES 15 million Aj is giving away 5 % more but gaining a whole bigger purse

    If i was Higgins i would already be in negotiations with Big Daddy for a all pacific fight , **** AJ the sooner Fury gets fit and takes his belt the better , thats providing Wilder does'nt KO him first

    Just a irrelevant side note, that’s always been at the back of my mind...but, would they even let AJ in the US?

    55% AJ 25% Parker. Winner takes the extra 20%.

    If you’re so confident Parker...
