Name the fighters who gave someone not even 1/10 of the draw they are 35%+

[Robbie Barrett]

I'd love to hear it. Especially from those claiming Joshua should.

[W1LL]

True that Rubber Barrett. Joseph Parker makes less than £600,000 per fight, on average, since winning the ABC paper title. Anthony Joshua comes along and says "I will give you £6 million to fight me?" And Parker's response is, "No, you are undervalueing me. I want £9 million to fight you." So how is 10-times his average payday undervaluing him? And what makes him think he is worth 15-times his average payday in a fight versus Anthony Joshua? I earn £9 per-hour at my job. I wouldn't have to think twice if someone offered me £90 per-hour to do the same job somewhere else.

Drawing power at Wembley with 5 quid tickets didn’t beat Lennox vs Tyson

Tyson Fury UD12 Lennox Lewis. Tickets would go for a lot more than £5 though. Doubt they'd let Fury fight at Wembley, come to think of it.

NSB users still have no concept of "synergy". You pay more for a desirable opponent because the two of you sell far more together than you do on your own. That's why Oscar paid Golovkin well, because guys like Smith don't bring in the buys. Golovkin may be a PPV bomb on his own, but pair him with a guy like Canelo, and it's one of the biggest fights of the year. Synergy.

Whilst this is true, I don't think it applies in this case. I don't think Parker has that much of an effect on the business side of this fight. If I had to guess I would say it would be closer to the Takam numbers than the Klitschko numbers.

For sure it will do more than the Takam numbers, but to justify 35% ? I doubt that very much, I think if they paid Parker that much Joshua would make the same or less than he did vs Breazeale, Takam, Molina etc., and Parker will probably make close to $10 million.

I think there is a compromise somewhere though.

Your Synergy thing probably applies more to the Wilder fight, and Fury fights than this one.

To even mention Takam just kills your argument. Parker is a name. Not a big one, but anyone who even causally follows HW boxing knows Parker is the #3 guy. No one knew Takam. You could have substituted him with any other no-name and the draw would have been the same. Parker adds interest that the Takams and others do not.

From a business perspective, you pay a little extra for a premium item because your profits are going to be greater. People who want to say; Parker made $X in his last and Joshua made $Y so the payday should be $Z simply don't understand how this kind of business works.

I haven't managed boxers but I have managed musical acts and I see what Hearn does clear as day. He's a complete shyster, just like Arum and DLH. He also likes fans to be his social media puppets and manipulates them to his favor.

That's not really a proper analogy; let's say this new job offering you 90 pounds/hour - say that you are MAKING the company 50 times more to profit off your work?

Most people, of course, would still jump at the chance to make that much more. But let's say you are already a millionaire - wouldn't it bother you that you aren't being paid in proportion to what you are making the company?
