    That limits Deontay to MAXIMUM 40%. Right there. No way Deontay will get 50%.

    It may have been a bad promotion, but the fact remains though that Joseph Parker is simply not a draw in this country. AJ is.

    If he gets 28-30% that is still amazing money.

    Plus, there is a meta-game to consider here too, if Eddie gives into Parker on this, and gives him 35%, then Deontay will end up wanting 45%. And that would be unacceptable.

    Yep. Parker wants this fight and AJ's titles and will accept unders to make it happen.

    Your move Eddie.

    Thing is Parker really wants this fight and Deontay not so much. Clear as day.

    Wilder really does deserve more money though. Joshua/wilder is the fight everyobe really wants to see, so Wilder has to get at least 40% for his troubles.

    Parker is very keen to get a unification fight made with Joshua and so is Wilder.

    It is time Hearn stopped putting roadblocks in the path of both those fights and actually tried to get one made.

    I have found some of Parker's antics a bit cringe worthy but I doubt it has happened without pressure from Higgens. I think 30-35 is reasonable, hope they get it and the fight is made - however I do think Browne would be a fun alternative and a good build up

    I'd prefer Povetkin. Maybe with Ruiz v Jennings as the undercard :D

    It is a real possibility, and possibly why Eddie Hearn is in no hurry to get the fight made.
