Parker's statement about going as low as 35% was bogus,according to Hearn.

    I know that but his future fights will suffer because of the reasons I mentioned.

    Parker is getting used by Barry and his promoter, I bet they are getting more money than he is getting. Barry is Parker's manager and trainer, this doesn't sit well with me, sounds sketchy.

    I doubt it. The Chambers thing wasn't picked up by any big network so most casuals won't even know about it.

    As I say Joshua can fight who he wants and people will pay to see him because it's a good night out here in the UK. AJ transcends boxing itself in a lot of ways here. His promoters and our media are very good at broadcasting/selling him to the casuals hence his fights will always sell out and always sell well on PPV.

    Parkers problem is his promoter are rubbish and only promote Parker and Horn in boxing..... He needs a bigger promoter to get himself known and on to a bigger platform.

    Parker has given a little ground and will now accept 35%. That's what worries me that Joseph will lose before he get's the fight. He hasn't impressed in his last 3 fights,it's all very well to say you have never been dropped but when your best win is a MD at home against someone who had never fought a 12 round fight and morbidly obese it's ridiculous that some people think Joshua is ducking hi. And I'm an Aussie and want Joseph to win but you have to be realistic. Wilder made $1.4 million against Stiverne I think I read.

    Kevin Barry and David Tua had some trouble over money that saw it go to the courts. I dont know who's at fault though.

    It was a case of Tua being hopeless with cash and probably gifting huge amounts to friends/family and the church, and not understanding tax laws.

    I was thinking that because boxers in the past have shown to be poor with money. Obviously 'O for awesome' tells you a bit about Tuas time at whatever schooling he done in Auckland but I was also thinking that maybe his management might've took advantage of him not understanding stuff like finances and fine prints. Till this day Barry speaks highly of Tua so its hard for the outside world to know whats going on. You sound assured that what you say was the case but theres two sides here and David and his legal advisors felt they had a case to answer for at the courts. I'd be interested to read about what happened from both sides though.

    50%, 40%, now 35%. It really didn't take long for team Parker to crumble.
