    If Parker is willing to accept 35% in a unification fight that will be in the Uk then I think that's more than fair and Hearn should make the fight.

    I don't think Hearn can knock that back.

    Now my argument about Wilder at least getting 40% doesn't seem so far fetched after all, does it?

    This would be a perfect next fight for Joshua. he can take the WBO belt, on top of his IBF, WBA, and IBO belts... then after he beats Parker, Deontay will be happy to take all of them off him, and become the first American undisputed heavyweight champ since??? since? hell I don't even remember the last one? was it holyfield lol

    We will have to agree to disagree, I don't think Wilder is worth a toss.

    Parker has placed the ball further in Hearns court now with this subtraction of his initial offer of 40% to 35%. Parker just continues to want this fight.

    If it doesn't work. The pressure will mount and it will start looking like a duck.

    Pay the man Eddie ,take the belt. If he wants that also take ppv percentages away BC they aren't as confident as they talk on social media.

    You've never had a fight in your ****en life, and you're' talking about a fighters confidence, lmao. Fighters pick boxing as a career because they love fighting. They don't think like you.

    35% in a very fair price, Joshua should not be so damned greedy! If Parker does not get at least that, he should start fighting winos from the alley and get famous like Wilder.........................

    You have absolutely no idea what their confidence level away from social media is.

    I always thought 30-35% was fair. Parker doesn't bring anywhere near that cut of the revenue to the table but at the very least he deserves more than the baseline mandatory cut (25%, I think) and you gotta pay for that belt after the precedence set with Charles Martin.

    The fact that Parker has lowered his price already means I think Hearn will haggle a little further, maybe try and push for 70% and end up settling on a 2/3 majority. Good signs for us fans though if both sides are willing to compromise in negotiations.

    "A voluntary defence is 20 percent, a mandatory is 30 percent, so it is only fair that when you unify it's 40 percent" - Joseph Parker

    Ive said from the start these 2 are hopefully guna settle somewhere 30 and 35%. On paper team Parker cant have a good argument for over 20% but they will fight in the UK and they will put their belt on the table. Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua are not guna get away with lowballing world champions. Will be very dissapointed in team AJ if they cant agree to 35% its an acceptable number to settle on.
