Parker won't fight a top 10 guy if Duco gonna pay them peanuts!! Duco are not parting with decent pay-days, and if I were a top 10 HW, why the hell would I risk my ranking and potential title shot, in fighting an up-n-comer like Parker if I wasn't gonna get a decent chunk of change??
There is a pecking order to fight for a World title, and to move up that food chain you have to be on the radar of all sanctioning bodies.... and fighting no-bodies won't move you quicker to a title shot no matter how good you are, end of story!
Parker has done his apprenticeship with his first 10 fights, he now has to fight recognized names.
Like A Joshua, its time to shine and let everyone know in the HW division he's after their spot in the top 10. And to do that, Duco "need" to invest heavily in an opponent.
