    AJ's chin isn't granite but Miller isn't much of a puncher either. Washington lasted way longer vs Miller than against Wilder. If anyone needs a granite chin it's Miller, Washington and Wach had no problems finding his chin which is why I think Joshua will blast him out with little effort.

    I could see that.. AJ vs Miller in the states

    The only problem I see if AJ has a showtime fight left and isn’t Miller HBO now

    How is agreeing the 35% but each fighter keeps their own country's PPV sales a "lowball" offer?

    That's what Hearn is willing to accept.

    If they do walk away and fight Browne then they have walked away from multi millions to fight for probably less than 1 million.

    I don't see anybody getting "jittery" all I see is Team Parker (Not Parker himself) pushing their luck and they are more than likely going to cost Parker a lorry load of money and a huge fight.

    Of course it's not a lowball offer, but everybody who can do some basic math can figure out that 75/25 of the entire pot (including UK PPV) would probably be a better offer for Parker in this case.
    Joshua's UK PPV obviously brings the lions share here and of course Parker's team knows that. That's the money Wilder and Parker are after.

    He can walk away and risk his title against somebody else for less money if he really wants to.

    It depends upon what the guaranteed purse is to be fair. If Joshua was guaranteed £15 mill like vs Wlad then at 35% Parker gets £8 mill or $10.48 mill plus whatever he gets from PPV in NZ. If Joshua only gets a £10 mill guarantee like with Takam then Parker gets £5.38 mill or $7 mill plus NZ PPV.

    Either of those figures would be a good payday for Parker. I don't think Hearn threw that out as a low ball offer he threw it out to highlight the disparity on what each of them earn. If no guarantee was mentioned then it's a bull**** offer though as you can't really know what the payday would be like without this information.

    And yes no chance Higgins and Parker choose to not take a share of UK PPV, if this fight blows up even bigger than expected that would be a huge amount of money they would be potentially giving up. They want a slice of that lucrative pie.

    Parker would make 2 or 3 $million from the Browne fight, 2 mill in China or Japan, maybe 4 mill against Povetkin.

    AJ is the far bigger, riskier fight - so should be a much bigger purse.

    But why? Why can't he just beat up the other contenders and be a dominant champ? It's not like he's not gonna' get rich. This **** is frustrating. I blame Floyd and Pacquiao. **** them all. The truth is I'm starting to watch less boxing and follow it less.

    Agree, all the public negations are unprofessional. And Hearn is using the same tactic for Wilder fight. These both fights are not going to happen.

    The pound is pretty weak these days but it's still worth $NZ 2 almost. $US is strong so a Wilder fight in pounds doesn't look as good to him. Not sure what the tax due is in NZ.

    Fight with Browne in Oz , the Oz dollar is weak too at the moment and losing value.

    Hearn and Higgins should fight in the ring for their percentages lol.

    I mean seriously, these guys and their business swinging contest remind me of people who stand in front of the TV when the best part of a movie comes on. Theyre just in the way of things.

    Unleash Joe and Anthony now.
