Joseph Parker signs deal with Sky and Boxxer

[gregregegg]

I origonlay thought they got him to fight whyte and lure others over. But mabey its all the parker vs joyce angle.

There are 3 options (that i can see) when it comes to WBO mandatories.

-Joyce challanges a champion. (bad for parker and sky).
-Joyce vs parker gets called for an elliminator. (decent for Parker, Good for sky cause they can bid at a decent PPV).
-Joyce vs parker gets called for the vacant title. (great for Parker, great for sky, because they can bid at a big PPV).

2 of the 3 options have good potential for sky to steal joyce away from frank for a card. I still think they mainly want whyte, but the joyce angle is a handy bonus.

Yeh. Sky know Parker is in a good position and more or less on a mandatory position.

Worst case is purse bids and seen as they have invested in Parker now, they can bid big.

Frank’s got some deepish pockets.

He bid over $2m for Bryan-DDD.. obviously lost out to DK.
