Parker laughs at AJ offer

About resumes.

Parker's resume isn't that bad actually. Surely AJ has win over Wlad, and that makes the biggest difference.

Other than that, AJ beat Takam, Whyte, Breazeale. Certainly not better than Parker's best wins - Takam, Ruiz jr, and Fury.

Wlad paid Haye and Ibragimov 50% both to get their belts, and he had at that time much deeper resume than both.

But I know it's all about money. AJ is a much bigger draw, so his share should be bigger without a question. Not a 80-20 though.

 

AJ shouldnt have to take a paycut for a fight he brings all the money too in order to fund Parkers retirement.

Parker - do what normal people do when a clear b side. Take the 6/7 mil and go and try and win the fight. Then rematch for 20 mil!

 

If the money isn't there, don't take the fight.

Both Parker & Joshua have other options, so no biggie.

Parker v Lucas Browne in Melbourne is a natural.

If Joshua doesn't fight Wilder next up, it's gotta be Big Baby, doesn't it?

 

70/30 is fair for either Parker or Wilder to fight Joshua.

That's still probably over $15million+ as the B-side

 

Hearn should offer Parker or Wilder a flat fee, no percentage, no share of the PPV sales just a cast iron guaranteed purse with no risk attached.

Parker £7.5 Million = to NZ $14.25 Million
also = to around 7X Parker’s biggest ever purse
with a rematch clause

Wilder £10 Million = to US $13,1 Million
also = to around 9X Wilders biggest ever purse
with a rematch clause

Publicise the hell out of the offers then wait for either camp to accept or decline

 

Joshua isn't able to fight Parker because Joshua wont give Parker less money than Joshua is receiving should they fight. Team Joshua are trying to give Parker lesser money. Thats it in a nutshell.

 

Once Wilder hears about this, he too will start pushing for 40%.

 

Higgins wants to snort the full 40%, nothing less

Parker needs to ditch this clown asap

 

Makes you wonder if Wilder and Parker have outgrown their devious greedy little promoters. Hearn is taking on fighters for his UK and US stables. They should get in there.

 

Higgins is a joke. Look at how he went on during the Fury build up. The fact that Parker get messed around the way he did and then STILL had to travel to face a guy who couldn't draw a cartoon lets you know everything you need to know about him as a promoter.

I mean what did he get for that defence? He's going to get a whole load more against Joshua but expecting 40% of the revenue is wishful thinking IMO.

 

In the quote he talks about:

"disrespecting every kid who ever wanted to win a world title and set his family up for life"

Not exactly the most encouraging words from your own promoter, basically making it sound like a cash out.

 

You guys are getting too hungup on the words that Higgins spews...for those who have followed Higgins and the Duco team since Tua vs Cameron, Higgins ALWAYS goes overboard. It's his personality.
This is simply Higgins flexing his "muscles" to get serious negotiations happening. I firmly believe if Hearn and Higgins both sit down, a figure around 65-35 would be worked out and agreed upon.

Hearn is doing the same thing, by announcing Miller vs Joshua in "2018". Trying to get Duco to speed things up.

Personally I don't see unifications happening until Joshua fights a couple more top 20 blokes without issues, slowly eroding the PPV fans excitement, therefore forcing Hearn to look at unification in late 2018 or early 2019.

 

70/30 and both should be realistic, that is what they are worth.

80/20 or 75/25 and I think they can rightfully turn their nose up a little bit
80/20 is especially disrespectful, 75/25 is probably not the end of the world but maybe a bare minimum IMO
