Hope I'm wrong but I've never really seen this fight happening as just don't think there is the money in it for both sides.
Both coming off big loses (can't really count Parker's last win) and Parker isn't anywhere near as much of a drawcard in the UK as the New Zealand media make out. Most of the Uk were impressed with Del boy's win against Takam and he did pretty well against Whyte but they also remember his terrible fights in between and still don't class him as a genuine top 15 contender.
Even with a stacked undercard it won't do well as a main event ppv. It's a great main undercard fight for a ppv or a main event for a Saturday night Sky Sports show in the UK.
If Parker is stopped or easily outpointed by Del Boy he possibly only has the Junior Fa fight left so does Higgins and co want to risk their main meal ticket for a payday that won't be huge????
And you know David Haye will be looking for every $$ he can get for Del Boy so he can keep clipping the ticket with his 10% or whatever he gets.
Hopefully I'm wrong but that's why I think it doesn't happen.
