    Yeah Haye has always been a good draw. The fight before the Wlad fight he made a reported $9 million for fighting Audley Harrison. That was probably at that stage bigger than any purse Wlad had made. So going 50/50 with Haye was a no brainer, both had titles, Haye had access to PPV money which would dwarf the coffers of RTL.

    Even now Haye is a draw his fight with Bellew was a commercial success, he made £4.2 mill for that fight or 5.5 mill in USD. So even now Haye is a bigger draw than Wilder and Parker combined.

    As for this offer from Hearn to Parker, if it was that low then that's just a low ball offer and Hearn should get heavily criticized for that. But from Hearn's tweet clearly we don't have all the details and it's possible neither does Parker. We can only speculate what was offered, until one of them clarifies what exactly was on the table.

    Higgins doesn't get to state a percentage of something he hasn't had a hand in creating. He accepts a cash amount; end of. On the flip side, Hearn shouldn't low ball or use the 'exchange rate' argument to justify a below par offer. Saying that; AJ has two belts, Parker has one. Parker hasn't looked good recently and won't add significant ticket/ppv sales. AJ is in complete control from a business standpoint. He could lose the belts tomorrow and still sell out stadiums. Parker vs Conjanu was laughable and that was with a belt. Parker made money vs Ruiz and Takam because I believe people we're hyped up about Parker in New Zealand. Cojanu was tragic and I believe the only reason Parker made a Million vs Fury was the gamble by Henessy. My opinon is that, the belt isn't really worth much to Parker unless its leverage for a Povetkin or Joshua lucrative fight. So he may aswell put pressure on Higgins to take what AJ offers and if he loses, well he can ditch Duco, whose contract is up in a year, and go to matchroom where he'll fight the Whytes, Furys, Dubois of the world, and in between good fights in little old New Zealand and Australia. I'm sure a beltless Parker could make a million fighting Sonny Bill Williams, Browne, even Junior Fa in New Zealand would sell a few thousand tickets. Im yet to be convinced Parker will make more money by defending titles in NZ til he eventually loses. Povetkin beats him I believe anyway. And, hey, maybe the russians put up more money than Hearn? So maybe Parker isn't in such a bad predicament after all. If so then I say get to Moscow Jo! Forget Browne for now. That's too risky in losing leverage, and that **** can wait.

    Parker and Wilder are desperate af.

    I mean, I don't blame them for coming out on social media, trying the self promotion angle. One doesn't even have a proper promoter and the other is promoted by Sinaed O'Conner who was given the run around by Fat Mick. God, Hearn is gonna take these useless sh*ts to the cleaners.

    Both Wilder and Parker will continue to fight no-hopers, claim everyone is ducking them and then wait for a $10 million offer from Joshua. That's exactly how it will play out.

    Note how Parker and Wilder are unwilling to fight each other (for a way smaller purse than they'd get vs. Joshua).

    We have a ways to go before we get rid of these Joshua trolls. The lowball offers will become historic.

    If both Wilder and Parker continue to face no-hopers , then so will Joshua. The division isn't exactly stacked with talent. You haters and begrudges don't really think these things through.

    AJ makes $20 million fighting bums. Wilder makes not even $2 million. Parker neither. So yes, AJ can wait until these guys accept a fair offer.

    If you turn down a career high payday which is fair in regards to how much revenue you generate, then that's a duck, end of.

    It has. If Hearn offers any lower than that bar neither Parker or Wilder will bother going to the U.K. to fight Joshua. It also doesn't help that both Ortiz and Povetkin are in the WBA rankings and even at this point would beat Joshua, who in the Takam fight looked very green. Joshua will have to avoid them like a plague for the next year to stay undefeated.

    I can see Parker beating everybody in the WBO except maybe Povetkin, but Povetkin is getting old and didnt look that great against Rudenko. If Povetkin and Parker fight in Russia and Parker wins he'll be demanding 50-50 instead of 40-60.

    Wilder is making 1.4 million a fight, but he wins so easily and will keep winning so he has little reason to take less than 50-50. Nobody in the WBC can beat him at the moment. The biggest threat is Ortiz, who has the skill and power to beat anybody, but with his age and inactivity I'd have to pick Wilder to beat him.
