Parker v ??
-
ah, I had wondered what was keeping Deano quiet!! cheers!
-
They're moving the venue from Vector (sorry, Spark) Arena to the Vodafone Events Centre, which only has 25% the capacity of the former. I understand the need to reduce costs without the UK interest and loss of some sponsors but does this mean that less than 3000 tickets had been sold for the Fury fight to date?
-
if you compare that to Joshua v Klitchcko ,
90,000 tickets sold out in 20 minutes ,
ringside seats are being sold for 50 grand
-
@Paekakboyz I'm sure I read that Duco have split their roles so Higgins is solely in charge of Parker now.
Lonergan is responsible for the Auckland nines and Brisbane 10s.
@Bovidae said in Parker v ??:

@Bovidae and yet, by all accounts they haven't reduced the PPV price....
-
@taniwharugby I thought they had reduced it by $10.
Still $15 more expensive than Joshua v Klitchcko.
@Bovidae ah ok, musta mis-heard the thing I was listening to on TV while doing something else...
On the Joshua Klitchko fight, Klitchko is paying about $2.80 to win....Parker said yesterday his experience will probably get him through.

Deontay Wilder is a shit boxer but IMO anyone who says they will fight anyone, anywhere and already has a belt with a larger following than someone they are challenging you should stay clear of them.
He has more to lose that Parker. He is starting to get a following finally in the states. He's being asked to front clothing labels and make guest appearances on US TV. Money is coming in for him. So when a guy says he will come to your backyard(homecourt advantage and judges potentially in the home fighter pocket...) for a fight that will not yield much in the way of world wide attention or PPV (unless they fight at 11am in the morning in NZ) he must have some fucken massive balls and self belief.
He can't box but he hits like a mule kicks. He'll break his hands to knock to out if thats what it takes. To me I think he is the most dangerous fight out there. King Long is there too but he doesn't seem to be on anyones raider. Parker should stay away from Wilder.
-
Atmosphere looks great at Wembley
-
Klitchko looks like he is toying with Joshua, but getting some shots put on him.
-
probably wont go 12, someone will go down, surely
-
what a round this is
-
-
Best heavyweight title fighti for some time
@kiwiinmelb I dont watch alot of fights, but this has been pretty good, JOshua looked the business early, Klitchco then showing his class and it even out again
Comms said Klitchco just ahead so far
-
wow what a hit by Joshua
-
its over
HUge round 11 by JOshua
-
-
Joshua is the real deal now , its confirmed
@kiwiinmelb thought he was gonna get knocked from about round 5-7, but he took it all and then that round 11.
-
Yeah was a fight of swinging momentum
-
Seeing this is a parker thread ,
I fear for Joseph fighting Joshua .... if it happens ,
I see an early knockout
