If the sales of the tickets, and PPV numbers plus rights to overseas telecasts...match or beat those of the Tua/Cameron fight...
In 2009, after protracted negotiations, Higgins and McRae pulled off an event that secured 88,000 pay-per-view buys - thought to be a world record on a per-capita country basis. They also sold 7500 tickets to the fight, including 750 corporate tables. Quite simply, the Tua versus Shane Cameron Fight of the Century extravaganza created revenue of close to $8 million. The fighters' combined purse alone was $1 million. (source: http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/10524506/Sky-TV-vs-Duco-The-bout-for-boxings-money)
...the fight will be a big earner for Parker and Duco.
