True that, Sham. Too early to talk about a glorious future. Exploiting works both ways. Sure, KB and Duco are hyping him to sell tickets. That's what promoters do. Don King comes to mind. But Parker isn't stupid, and he's getting quality training and good size gate and PPV sales. If he wasn't hyped, and Duco just said he was an up and comer, he wouldn't be anywhere near where he is now. And my guess is that he's not doing too badly with the money he's getting paid. I'd say he's getting over $100,000 a year. Just bought a new car. Has sparred with Klit. Where's the one way exploitation?
Truth be told, he looked so bad pre-Olympics that I didn't think he'd get this far as a pro. He was pretty ordinary. Some of us on here even questioned whether or not he could be a main event. I say it's a tall poppy issue. Bring down the Kiwi who's doing well.
