Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter: Hearn's Offer For Joshua Was "Ridiculously Low"

[Robbie Barrett]

Hearn is now off the rails and total unrealistic .This businessman is forgetting about the boxing side and will get stung.He's been in favour with most fans for a while , now he's fast becoming a joke.

If 20% is true he's out ....Parker for all his faults has a title and deserves at least 30-35% Wise up Eddie .

How does he deserve 30-35%? The Split goes on how much money you bring, not if you have a title.

25% against Joshua is a lot more money than 50% against Wilder.

they're basically saying wilder is a nobody they're so confident in getting 50-50 split if he has three belts.. delusional. 80-20 in joshuas favor sounds fair to me.

So you're saying that Hearn should propose 30% while Higgins has drawn a line at 40%?

Shrewd business lol.

Hearn makes deals for a living and has the reputation he does because he is very good at it and pays fighters well.

No way is Parker worth 40% but Hearn knows Parker has nowhere else to go to make so much money.

[Robbie Barrett]

Did guys like Bradley deserve 35% against Pacquiao? Did Maidana deserve 35% against Mayweather? Some of you ******s are ****ing insane.

20% is too low. 40% is too high

Somewhere around 30% is probably about right.

Neither Parker nor Wilder make 30% of what AJ makes, but they are bringing a title and a perceived threat which makes a different even to casual AJ fans.

I have the sinking feeling that after laughing when David Higgins showed him the offer, Parker drove home to tell his wife and celebrate winning the AJ lottery, only to turn on the TV and see Higgins publically reject it.

Either that, or he doesn't believe he can beat AJ, and wants more money to retire on.

When Joshua was a prospect and building his name.

Gonna be funny when Parker loses his title before he can cash out, he would be making 5 times as much facing AJ in the UK than facing anybody else than Wilder, first of all Wilder wont beat AJ and even if he did, Wilder with all 3 major belts wont give Parker more than 30%. These guys are trying hard to milk their titles and will only face each other if they get vastly overpaid, a retirement fund. Boxing nowadays.

There aren't that many high profile names that Parker can beat easily. maybe Lucas Browne, but he would struggle vs Breazeale and Miller, even Dillian Whyte and he would lose vs Ortiz and Povetkin.

Are you sure? I thought the fight was in Charles Martin Hometown ON PPV and he offered Anthony a split of the PPV because he was generous, rumor has it Charles Martin gave Joshua 8.5 million too...sshhh dont tell UK fanboys.
