The bottom line is if Joshua is going to pay Charles "I will lay down for you AJ" Martin 8.5 million US than Wilder & Parker should get at least 10 million. That is what Martin got from Hearn. 8.5 million US. He got 6 million pounds which is about 8.5 million. If you don't believe me just google it.

thats not how business works. getting a title in the first place was far more valuable than getting another would be when hes already got 2.

But Joshua wants the other belts. They have what he wants. It's worth something

its not worth at least 10m simply because martin might have gotten 8.becoming a champ in the first place was a bigger thing for his careee than say adding the wbo when hes already got a couple. they really wanted that first title and went after it hard.

Joshua is running scared . He doesn’t want the fight after all.

I don't understand how you have reached this conclusion
Both sides are in negotiations, there is no apparent discontinuity between either camp. They want the fight and the only sticking point is the % share. If anyone should be running it's Parker.

Kevin Barry and David Higgins have said today in interviews that the only reason this fight hasn’t been signed yet is because of Joshua.
The few % is just an excuse. 65-35 means Joshua is getting the lions share of the purse, Wilder won’t do less that 50-50 .
Come on Joshua just put your money where your mouth is mt king of Dubai.

I'm pretty confident that this fight will happen next, no one is running scared, both sides are just playing hard ball with the split.
I'm sure they will work it out and an announcement will be made before Christmas.

If I were Parker's people I'd tell Joshua where to go. They need a legit opponent to polish Joshua's rep. Carlos Takam and Charles Martin ain't going to cut it. Parker could use at least another year's ring experience against good opponents so he doesn't need to rush into a fight with Joshua. So just tell Joshua to peddle his papers elsewhere. Go fight Wilder in America or another English lorry driver.

I would also like Parker to have another 2-3 more fights before Joshua, just to make it a bit more competitive.

That's a lot of hate being delivered there against the World's top Heavyweight -- and the number on box office sensation in the division by far.
Joshua doesn't peddle papers.. He's had 5 Heavyweight Championship Fights and he needs Wilder to fight somebody with some prestige... Parker called Joshua out 4 fights ago and than turned ass and ran... Wilder has been ducking the best Heavyweights for a long time... Wilder predicted that Whyte and Klitschko would upset Joshua.. He's praying somebody saves his ass from Joshua.
