The only way he gets more is for a title shot and I don't see that anytime soon
If he really believes he can beat JP he should sign the contract win and a title shot becomes a hell of a lot more realistic
Don't take the fight and lose to a no name for 25k - deductions etc and then kick yourself
markk is NOT gonna like you. He wants way more than $500,000. Wonder how much Parker will get? Probably one to two million. Fa is no more desperate for the fight than Jr. And Parker being the favourite, it should be an easy night at the office. I'm hoping Fa trains the house down, is rid of his health concerns, and pulls the upset.
hey all hope you're well. to be honest we have been waiting for an offer. I ve had about 10 calls from David Higgins and said every time you need to call Lou. the complexity for both junior and Jospeh is that their international tv rights are owned by Eddie and Lou dibilla. so junior accepting a purse would be one thing the next is to buty the tv rights off Dibella. I think the reason Higgins never makes an offer is he flat out isn't in control. only match room are. and unless match room give a waiver then there will be no fight. I doubt Eddie would do that for junior or Dempsey mckeen just in case. Id suggest its just headline chasing. I know what parker gets through higgin and confirmed dzan course . I suspect Eddie wants out of the contract and will use parkers last contract fight to build one of his earners up a place . Higgins has hinted at the same money as winters got for last fight but won't make as offer for above reasons. bit of a joke to pay junior the same as winters. I know what he was paid as he is a dibella figter. good luck to Joe getting a fight as it looks like browne has agreed a purse which is less than winters got in last fight so good deal for the business side. now we need to see if Eddie releases Joe for a one off fight
Cheers Mark - the background wheeling and dealing is very interesting- nothing is ever straight forward in boxing.
Interesting you think EH wants out - I would see him building JP up again and then matching him with his other bubbling under contenders such as Hunter or Hygovic- that's where I see JP value for EH . If JP wins continue if he loses he is a good name on their resume for a title shot.
Probably after what you were saying - the issues with TV rights etc the Browne fight is the easiest to make, surprised Browne taking a low offer but to be honest where else is Browne going to get paid - he really has dropped to a league club level fighter, so maybe he sees it as a last chance before he hangs em up. Fair play to him always comes across as a decent bloke in interviews.
Fa v McKeen?
Winner fights the victor of the JP - Browne fight --- I know TV comes into it again but if USA and UK are still Coronafied it may be worth it.
