RE: Joseph Parker - justafan - 08-23-2017 Haha good luck with that Die. What I'm getting at is they wouldn't need to be boxing fans they would just need to know it was on. But do they? A bit of homesickness makes us all a lot more parochial when we're away from home. When I lived overseas I didn't care what it was if there was a Kiwi or a Kiwi team in it I was there but I wonder if this promotion is in the mainstream enough for ex-pat Kiwis to know about it but also as you rightly point out is it affordable? My theory of ex-pats coming out of the woodwork will not apply if it the tickets are out of wack to say an All Blacks game or standard concert prices. RE: Joseph Parker - craigyid14 - 08-23-2017 Gone are the days when 8 kiwis live in a 2 bedroom flat in Acton or Shepherds bush in London. The pound is too weak, young New Zealanders are more likely to work back home or in Aussie and then travel to Europe and the UK without needing to work. England's much cheaper than NZ, for example you can catch a mega bus up to Manchester from London for as little as £3 (NZ$5.25) get a room for £30 ($52.50) and tickets start at £46.85 ($82.50). A lot cheaper than if it was held in Auckland.... I can't attend unfortunately as I'm running in Poland that weekend, if it was Joshua/Parker I wouldn't be running in Poland! RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 08-23-2017 Joseph Parker trainer Kevin Barry: Hughie Fury 'was never going to come to NZ' Kevin Barry has rubbed a bit of salt into the long and heated buildup to Joseph parker's WBO world heavyweight title defence against Hughie Fury. Kevin Barry has opened an old wound, claiming Hughie Fury was never ready to fight in New Zealand and had regularly ducked Joseph Parker. Fury, the mandatory challenger to Parker's WBO world heavyweight belt, controversially pulled out of a May title fight in Auckland at late notice, citing a back injury. Fury got medical backing to retain his No 1 contender position and now conveniently fights Parker for the world title in his own backyard of Manchester on September 23. Barry has upped the war of words heading into the highly anticipated clash, echoing the angry reaction from Parker's backers Duco Events earlier in the year as the English boxer scuttled their Auckland promotion. "He wasn't ready. It was a calculated move on the part of his team," Barry told a boxing voice when asked why Fury failed to front in Auckland. "He wasn't ready to come down to New Zealand and fight Joseph Parker in his backyard. "The way it worked out, he is now fighting in his home town. Sometimes you have got to be careful what you wish for. "We know that he was never going to come to New Zealand, but I can promise you this ... we are going to be in Manchester." As to where Fury stood in terms of toughness for Parker, Barry couldn't resist a dig at the lanky 22-year-old Brit who, like the Kiwi, is unbeaten. "Time will tell. Hughie is a good guy, a good fighter, he's a young guy who is developing. But we have fought some real guys, we have fought opponents that other people don't want to fight." Barry then revealed that Fury had long been on their radar. "We have been trying to fight Hughie Fury for a long time. We put the offer out there in Joe's second year as a pro, his third year as a pro. Every time we'd say, 'Hey Hughie, we're ready' the response was always 'No, I'm not ready for that fight'," Barry told thaboxingvoice. "So this is a guy that we have looked at for a long time. We know his strengths, we know his weaknesses. "But he has never felt the power that he is going to feel in this fight He has never seen the speed of Joseph Parker, he has never seen the physical work of a fighter like Joseph Parker. This is really his (Fury's) biggest test ever." Despite the unwanted delays to this compulsory title defence, Barry sees a real silver lining to having to fight Fury on the other side of the world. Asked if Parker was going to have to go to Manchester to make the fight happen, Barry replied: "Yeah, it probably was. But the flip side of that is we have been trying to get to the UK for the last 18 months. "It was always our plan to campaign in the UK, there are a lot of very good fights there for us and this is the beginning. This is really going to put Joseph Parker on the boxing scene in the UK. After we take care of Fury there are other guys we are coming after. "We are coming after Tony Bellew. We are going to be fighting Anthony Joshua. That fight is going to happen ... Joseph Parker is going to be standing in front of him one day in the ring." - Stuff RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 08-23-2017 Parker training: https://www.facebook.com/teambarryboxing?hc_ref=ARTTwE3qHDIlU5g429-N3xHthmCppu9VCGjeirkA-d-KqQsaKGblxnGL1ewhv1j2_LE&fref=nf RE: Joseph Parker - NakiFan - 08-23-2017 (08-23-2017, 07:48 PM)diehard Wrote: Parker training: He's looking sharp. I think Fury is going to be shocked at the blur of gloves coming at him, and fold up like Dimitrenko (another youth gold world champ). RE: Joseph Parker - Msreef - 08-23-2017 Looks like in this fight Joe is going to be relentlessly coming forward, putting Hughie under big pressure. Great to see. Hope they have some southpaw sparring partners as I think Hughie will be either exclusively boxing in southpaw, or switching back and forth to it. If Parker doesn't train well for this he will become undone imo.

Think parkers gonna have to put a hard shift in to get him out but starting to think he will RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 08-25-2017 Parker by UD. Fury has never been down, and is too elusive and big for Joe to catch him. But, Hughie won't do enough to win, even in his backyard. RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 08-26-2017 Just got my SKY Magazine and they want $50 for Parker/Fury. I know that Mr Higgins is still promoting it, but I thought with a co-promotion with Warren, and it being in Manchester, it would be much less. Anyone know how much it'll be in the UK?

It's going to be on BT sport which is a subscription based 5 channel platform which costs equivalent to $40 a month Basically a much better deal than what we get, as usual. |
