    So is your contention is that Parker or Kabayel could draw as much if not more dollars to a fight, than Dubois at Wembley?
    Like all else being equal you genuinely believe that? C'mon man you gotta be trolling.

    We will see if there will be any reports on ppv and the purse , but yes , i believe a usyk vs parker or usyk vs kabayel title fight in saudi arabia would generate the same or suprior dollars .

    Look atvthe fans here : how many users want to see usyk vs dubois and how many want to see usyk vs parker or kabayel .

    Apples and oranges. This fight is outside of Saudi. So we're apparently agreed neither of them can generate the same or superior dollars all else being equal, which was my point on why Usyk might prefer this fight.

    And I've been following the game long enough to know the population of a boxing forum isn't representative of the general public, which is who they need to sell the fight to after all.

    Same. Odds of it happening seem to have taken a hit though with this fight and Usyk only seeming to have one other left.
    Would love to see Parker staying busy in the meantime. I reckon Kabayel is a bit dangerous for anyone in Parkers position to fight but I'd love that one to get made.
    Otherwise, someone like Okolie, Anderson, Wardley all make sense with WBO rankings and Parker would have to be a favourite against them all.
    The inactivity is a worry tbh

    Should usyk have agreed to face parker or especially kabayel you can be sure the fight would have happen in saudi arabia .

    So Like i said : its not about generating most money , its about not to risk a loss .

    We saw it at dubois 1 . Usyk was offered a very high value and money fight against wilder , in times wilder was considered dangerous . Usyk refused the money and instead choose dubois for a slim purse .

    Why ? Because at this time wilder was considered more dangerous .

    Uysk always takes the most dangerous fight and will never duck
    He is going to fight the mighty jake Paul next

    Dubois KO 5 AJ
    Dubois KO2 Cojanu
    Dubois lost on eye injury to Big Joe Joyce in a very close and competitive fight and one which Dubois was winning on 2 of the judge's cards

    AJ WUD 12 J-Park
    J-Park WUD12 Cojanu
    Big Joe Joyce KO 11 J-Park

    Dubois KO5 AJ
    Dubois WTKO 8 Hrgovic
    Dubois TKO 10 Miller

    Is a better three fight streak than

    J-Park WUD12 The Dosser
    J-Park WUD 12 Big Bang
    J-Park WTKO 2 Bakole

    Knocking out a 34 y/o AJ who is much better than The Dosser >> an extremely safety-first 12 round schooling of a 38 y/o Dosser who I thought was supposed to be shot to bits?

    Stopping a 31 y/o Hrgovic >> winning another extremely safety-first decision over a 40 y/o Big Bang in which J-Park was dropped x 2 despite Big Bang barely throwing any punches

    Granted if you factor in the controversy with the 22 billy goat butts in Dubois vs Hrgovic it changes things but Big Bang and Hrgovic are the same level or were when Hrgovic fought a younger Big Bang

    Beating a full camp Miller >> a 2 day notice out of shape straight off the couch with no sparring in 4 months Bakole who literally arrived in Saudi in the early hours of the day of the fight, like 18 hours before he was due in the ring IIRC, and Bakole looked exhausted after that long flight

    I could go into all the fights J-Park arguably lost too

    I'd much rather see Usyk vs J-Park because I think it's a much less risky and dangerous fight for Usyk at his age even if Usyk vs Dubois was on neutral soil. I wouldn't be 20% as worried for Usyk if he was facing J-Park

    What kind of crack are you smoking? Dubois was the mandatory for the WBA belt Usyk had at the time and Wilder was washed up ducking Ruiz.

    You cannot remember ? Usyk delayed the dubois fight for months . Wba got pissed off and nominated wilder as the next mandatory when usyk and dubois do not agree . After that usyk agreed with dubois immediately . You can google it .

    He didn't delay anything. He was in talks with Tyson Fury and immediately after Fury sabotaged the negotiations he agreed to fight Dubois. WBA didn't nominate Wilder as the next mandatory, he was just elevated to number 1 in the rankings. Seems like you don't know the difference between interim title holders, mandatories and being ranked number 1.

    Yeah, read your own source bro:

    As he owns the lesser WBA 'regular' belt, Dubois currently occupies the mandatory position.

    Dubois has been adamant that he does intend to take the fight with Usyk next, though many have doubted this due to the fact he suffered an ACL injury in his last fight against Kevin Lerena in December.

    If he were to pull out, the WBA have confirmed to Dan Rafael that Usyk would be ordered to defend against Deontay Wilder instead.

    Wilder is ranked in the top spot of the WBA's heavyweight rankings, hence why he is next in line.


    So not only you don't know the difference between mandatories, interims and rankings, you also can't read either.
