The AJ - Price fight will probably be bigger in the UK than what the AJ - Parker fight would have been. Casuals make up most of the market, most of them would know Price, hardly any would know Parker.
Hearn is in a pickle, AJ is going to be facing top opponents next year, he needs to bridge the gap of the top ~30 level fights AJ has been beating, and the top ~10 fighters he'll be facing next year. The Breazeale fight was a wasted opportunity. Jennings would be a good fight, but he's not even in the IBF top 15, so I don't see how that can be for a voluntary defence. David Price is a terrible learning fight, for AJs sake I hope it doesn't get made.
