Higgins and Parker have rightly compared rules of mandatory percentages vs title shots. I know there is no rules regarding title shots as that is entirely up to the 2 parties involved, but as below, mandatory percentages do need to be taken into account.
Rule 10.E of the IBF's Championship Policy reads as follows:
The Champion will receive 75% and the Challenger will receive 25% of total amount of the bid. If the offer is for a vacant title, each boxer will receive 50% of the total amount bid. The percentage splits for elimination bouts and box offs are governed by Rule 9D. In a bout between a Champion and a Challenger ranked #3 or below, the Champion shall receive 85% and the Challenger will receive 15% of the total amount of the bid.
Offering anything less than 25% should be seen as a lowball offer. 30-35% is probably the goldilocks zone in my opinion.
