    so Joshua and Parker made around a million dollars for each good punch they landed. if i ran things they would've fought until one of them dropped. i mean for 30-40 million dollars someone needs to taste canvas. this 12 pittypat rounds and asking three fool judges what they think is utter nonsense.

    Parker made more in the AJ fight than Wilder made in his entire career :lol:

    who said money can only be made in vegas ?

    If promoted right (and i like the advertising Slogan "There can be only one"), Aj v Wilder should do double that and then some

    Wilder got around $2.1 million for Ortiz? Maybe $2.5 million?


    This plays well in to Hearn's hands (not boxing fans though), he will point to this and use the old "AJ is earning 10x more than Wilder.."

    This will be a problem, AJ himself said post fight Saturday he is basically sick of overpaying opponents and asked when will he "get a bonus".

    All Wilder has to do is be sensible and realistic and Hearn and Joshua have little wriggle room, if Wilder is genuinely sensible then he will come out of this with either the fight he says he wants or he will put it right on top of Hearn and Joshua.

    He is not making $25m for Miller. Povetkin maybe.

    This is why the Parker fight didn;t really take long to make. Higgins did the usual posturing about percentages because he has to do the promoter dance to make sure his fighter thinks he's getting as much as possible. But the reality is Higgins and the rest of team Parker are clearly smart people.
    Make 5 more defences for peanuts and risk losing the belt and chance of a huge payday, or use your brain and fight now for the mega purse. It's a no brainer, Americans are empty upstairs though so they don't see it the same ha.
    Parkers team now talking about getting on Aj shows going forward, because they know where the $$$ are. I like those guys, Parkers a nice guy and a proper champ and his team seem pretty easy to get along with for the most part.

    It was one of the thing Fury was bitching about back when Fury was still whining about people not celebrating his victory over Wlad enough. Some such to the effect of AJ's just a well promoted bum Fury is the real deal and champion and the public wants to pay good money to watch Joshua not Tyson.

    They do have a growing boxing market in the U.K. and a list of big time names: Wilder, Whyte, Povetkin, Fury, Usyk/Gassiev, Bellew/Haye. And then there are the prospects: Dubois, Joyce and Yoka.

    There’s not one person in the division close to Joshua’s level, so nobody is worried about something impossible like that.

    All the money is in Alabama actually! AJ would have tripled this if he fought there.

    It just shows how desperate poor brits are hahha, I guess that’s what happens when national soccer team sucks so badly . It’s been like 50-60 years since england won something significant in soccer , seems like nation needs a hero , so they worship nigerian of “superior “ race thinking he’s the best ever lol, they don’t know that he is not anything special, his boxing skills are poor , his chin , stamina are bad.
