ANTHONY JOSHUA was touted to face Dillian Whyte in a mouthwatering rematch but it never came to fruition and Eddie Hearn has revealed why. Everyone has been eagerly anticipating Joshua's next fight after five months out of action. AJ has not been in the ring since his victory over Alexander Povetkin in September at Wembley.

You know that you're lying. The person you claimed was an "alt" posted a picture of themselves holding a piece of paper with your name on it like you asked and I posed with them in the picture. I also posted a separate picture of myself with a piece of paper with your name on it like you asked. You know we're two different people, you're just making lame excuses because you know you're going to lose the bet.
I will honor the bet. I already revealed myself, so you can't claim I won't honor a bet I already honored! As for your lie that I have an "alt," I already proved that wrong as well. You're totally trapped here.
I will honor. You're lying. And how can you claim that I won't honor a bet where the loser has to reveal their true identity when I already preemptively revealed my true identity to prove I intended to honor the bet?!?
He's got you there, Robbie Barrett.
I made a bet with a guy that won't honour, that means the bet is off.

So you expect me to honour a bet when the other guy won't? GTFOH you clown.

That bet is off. The other guy was found making alts and then got banned. :lol1:

Prime Tyson would Knock Fury and AJ out. They dont tie up like Lewis did. I always considered that cheating. You shouldnt be able to grab a boxer and drop all your weight on them then rinse and repeat. By time they start deducting points its too late and your DEAD tired from carrying around a body the entire fight.
A prime George Foreman beats AJ, Tyson, Bowe, Lewis and the list goes on. Muhammad Ali had the right tactic to beat Foreman which was to endure tremendous body punishment until George exhausted himself. Also Ali was very smart in choosing Zaire where the heat helped beat Foreman.
I don't think Joshua-Whyte II is a mouthwatering rematch at all.
This article requires context, this BS fight is only mouthwatering to fans in the UK, it does not mean sh/t to anyone else
The question is will Whyte make more money elsewhere than what he can make fighting Joshua with Hearn. I'd doubt that.
He seems to have settled on the offer, whatever it was. The rematch split seemed a sticking point though.
Judging by the interview last week, Whyte agreed to reverse the split for the rematch if Chisora beat him, and he wants Joshua to do the same. The thing is, he doesn't have the same bargaining tools as Joshua has.
Now, from Whyte's end, it's going to be important he gets a good opponent for the 02.
Hopefully he does, he's on a nice little streak at the minute.
Whyte is the 4th best he must know this if hearn offerd Miller.more to fight aj that's just a disgrace
I don't think Hearn offered Miller more, probably much less, but Miller isn't in a position to demand anything. He's lucky to be getting a shot really.
It also seems Whyte was not unhappy with the purse, just the rematch stipulations. He felt if he beat AJ, he should get a larger purse in the rematch, but that wasn't in the offer. It seemed AJ would still get a bigger cut in a rematch if he loses. Whyte felt that he wasn't being respected with the offer even if he wins.
You said you weren't sure .
Whyte has sold out the 02...any more worthy fighter with him will be PPV in the U.K. Never a Wembley PPV , only Joshua does that .
Breazeales is known at Barclays center but that's about it. Most people know him for his Izu win not his Joshua loss over here. Casual fans probably don't even know he fought Joshua 2 years ago ?
I'm not sure about here in the UK. Of course with the 4 fighters I mentioned. Whyte v Ortiz, Povetkin are decent fights but even then I'm not sure they are PPV.
Yeah, the casual fan over here won't even know who Breazeale is period. Hearn will still try to make it a PPV fight and he's going to need a good undercard to help justify people paying for it.
I think any and everything is becoming PPV over here, off topic but you got Degale and Eubank squaring off next week for £19.99 and while its a decent fight, it's not a PPV fight.
Why would Whyte be a PPV here ? More importantly how in a non title fight when Wilder can't be in one without Fury or Joshua ?
Whyte would be on PBC card and it wouldn't even make sense for him against Breazeale over here .
Breazeales needs to go to the U.K where it's actually a very good PPV fight headliner. If he don't I can't see this fight coming off . Whyte would then be contradicting himself about self worth declining a Joshua fight with belts on the line.
I didn't say Whyte is PPV in the states, I don't even think he is PPV here in the UK. He fought Parker directly after the AJ/Parker fight so UK fans were exposed to Parker who also fought Fury in boxing's answer to a sleeping pill. Parker was also a former WBO titlist.
He fought Chisora which was sold based off the 1st fight which was good and the antics that preceded the fight.
If he fights Breazeale here, I'm not sure how they can put it as a PPV. No belt is on the line. Breazeale is an unknown quality relatively (some may remember that he got flatlined by AJ).
I think Whyte can only be justified fighting on PPV if he's up against AJ, Wilder, Fury and that's it. You may be able to put him in a PPV with Miller in the UK because you know they'll both sell the hell outta that fight.
For once, I just so happen to agree with Eddie Hearn. Dillian Whyte has no leverage. Since he has no bargaining chips he is more of price taker as opposed to a price maker.
He should have taken what was offered to him by Joshua because he has no other options. While he is a Pay per view fighter in the U.K. However, at the same time he isn't a titleholder and doesn't exactly pack a lot of meat in the seats.
He can't even sell out Wembley or Cardiff. Sadly to say he priced himself out. One cannot come to the bargaining table empty handed and expect to make all of these outlandish demands because Anthony Joshua doesn't owe him or need him.
He threw Whyte a lifeline but it was up to Dillian to accept it which he refused.
I'm not even sure Whyte is a PPV fighter here moving forward. Who could he realistically fight on PPV here? Breazeale? That ain't it.
no one knows who wilder is in America how they gona know who the hell Miller is he's been fighting sardines his entire careerIt's called the live gate my friend. Jarrell Miller just so happens to be from NYC; His hometown. Therefore, it should be a sell out crowd. Moreover, most of the revenue and profits generated from this fight outside of AJ's sponsors are going to come from the gate anyway. Therefore, it will probably do at least $15mil at Madison Square Garden alone. No one expects this bout to sell on Pay Per view; Not even Eddie Hearn.

I could understand why Whyte would feel like that when he's making more money than Fury or Wilder. Like some here have said Hearn has created a monster lol.
Ortiz is better. I would bet thousands against Whyte. Ortiz would make him look stupid. Give me the cuban southpaw ALL day. Dude looked like DOG sht against AJ and barely survived the 1st round
What makes ortiz better who has he beat to prove that, is resume is **** compare to Whytes facts:poke:
Eddie is right Whyte is not big as Fury, Wildher, AJ however he sell tickets and back to back ppv so i can see why Whyte is mad he cant get 7 mil and bum ass baby get payed that. Its no respect in Whytes eyes when you look at it. 5 mil is still a good purse and I blame Whyte for not taking it especially with belts on the line. it is just Wilder/AJ all over again.
It's the overpaying of fighters that causes this problem. Miller getting 7 mil? The guy has done nothing and isn't a draw at all. The knock on effect is other fighters saying "I'm a bigger draw than Miller i want more" even though they don't "deserve" it, Miller didn't either. You don't see Pacquiao overpaying opponents, Broner got 2.6 mil.
Do you really think Broner got only 2.6? You don't. You're just trolling.
They paid $7 Mill to make sure Martin would come over. They knew that was an easy belt grab at the time. I don't blame them either. Heck Martin prolly asked for the $7 mill. They were like, sure dude!
Without question, no doubt!
