Disappointing if true
I know you can only believe a % of any of this talk but I don't see Fa earning this type of coin anytime soon.
If he backs himself to win why not take it?
If he loses on points but performs well and gives JP trouble I see his stock rising also.....
The last paragraph says that Mr Higgins said that Parker and Fa would be on the same money.  Don't think that's true if I'm going by the previous info in the article.  Here's the last paragraph: Joseph Parker is the A-side, he should be paid triple Junior Fa, but he is willing to fight Junior Fa for the same money. They are running scared is what's going on." 

What would I do if I were Fa?  I'd do a half a mil minimum, with the PPV equally distributed.  Or, cut everything down the middle with Joe and Jr.  Sounds like Mr Higgins is the desperate one trying to make the deal, not Fa.

The way I read the article, it's only $200,000 guaranteed.
A $200k guarantee to fight in your home- No big travel costs etc in the current economic climate....sounds good to me
Good money, better than he can get anywhere else, covid or no covid. But is that the best deal Fa can make? I don't think so. In saying that, they've been negotiating since March.
Best deal possibly to fight in nz
He could fight in USA but for less and be paying many expenses. I can't see Fa getting a title shot or eliminator anytime soon.
Win or put up a good show ....back yourself
No, what I'm saying is that he can get a better deal with Mr Higgins.  Parker is as desperate to fight as Fa, and with OZ being like it is now with covid, I can't see McKean coming over here to fight Parker.
I agree, Parker really needs Fa now. Europeans are allowed to fight each other and the Americans are fighting each other, the only fight for Parker is Fa.
I see what your saying I just want the fight to happen
I think both fighters will benefit $$ in a time where money isn't flowing as freely as it once was
Shit the media is hard up Parker's arse. They gobble up all the bullshit that comes out of Higgins and Barry's arse without doing any homework and even bothering to hear from the other camp.
Finally D'Arcy Waldegrave has come to the party https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-all-sport-breakfast/audio/boxing-parker-and-fa-camps-at-loggerheads/?fbclid=IwAR2l6e7OT1AnxLZsYPTGSK-mq661KSIva61ekGCSyT9AQl0fCOjdBB4yAy8
