Why do boxing fans care about purses so much?

Most markets have to deal with that. Did you not understand the point? I feel like I even gave an example. Who else can say it makes sense so I don't have to deliver? Usually a company has to see something like this in losses and which path gives them less losses. Plenty of people overpay for technology just to produce a good for their customer base. It is weird that youse never get frustrated and always understand. Doesn't matter how much you defend that or how logical it is, those are not responses that make sense to bring contrary to this observation. The only thing that makes it not weird is an example of another market doing it. I was commenting on this from you: "Fury has had the luxury of holding up the division several, several, times and hardly having the carry the criticism because excuses doe. At a certain point one would think even his own fans would stop giving a **** and just be frustrated Tyson Fury is yet again at the center of a delay." And the point I was making is that Fury is not at the centre of the delay we're talking about in this thread. A legal case brought by Dillian Whyte against the WBC is at the centre of the delay we're talking about here.

So you agree entirely with what I said? Purse split is not yet set. WBC have indicated they will go with 80/20 subject to arbitration. You're apparently a high net wealth, high IQ guy. Show it. WBC ordered 80-20, Whyte objected and the dispute will be settled in arbitration. You said the WBC hadn't ordered 80-20. You were wrong.

It usually comes from a lack of father figure when growing up. Boys in particular need a male role model from the age of 7-13, which are key development years. However, we instinctively find security in the achievements of people we like and as they succeed we develop an emotional bond, which gives us a sense of pride for their success. Unfortunately, this often leads to a defensive mindset, where we become emotional when someone criticizes our chosen role model. This isn't ideal, but it is a coping mechanism that is vastly important within today's fractured communities and cosmopolitan society.

I don't care for a fighter's purse for the most part, but when a fighter demands a ridiculous amount that they are not worth, then it matters because it's the big reason why fights are not made. Crawford is a prime example of someone who can't draw but demands huge money.

These two clowns need to read the room lol Wow

Because we are a caring lot

They certainly haven't ordered 80/20 yet.

They certainly haven't ordered 80/20 yet. You won't find a single source from the WBC on that. They've ordered the fighters to enter into free negotiations. But without a split for purse bids, which is bollocks. How do you negotiate without a starting point? But you can be sure that Fury has petitioned the WBC and they have advised that if it goes to purse bids their intention is to go with 80/20 subject to the outcome of arbitration.

You worked for the WBC but don't know the WBC do press releases when they order things? :rofl: Super IQ indeed. Okay, so you're admitting you lied about interim champions being entitled to 45% and posted old rules to try to fool people? Why did you do that? I never said I work for the WBC. Why do you keep making up more lies? Just to be clear, you're accusing Dan Rafael of making up that the WBC ordered 80-20 right?

They haven't decided the purse split, they are going to arbitration then they will decide it. You once claimed to have some super IQ, i guess that was BS too along with you being a millionaire. Okay, so you're admitting you lied about interim champions being entitled to 45% and posted old rules to try to fool people? Why did you do that? Dan Rafael reported that the WBC ordered an 80-20 split. Are you claiming to know for a fact that the WBC didn't order a split? You already clearly don't understand what arbitration is. If the WBC hadn't ordered a split, there's no split for Whyte to object to. If there's no split to object to, you wouldn't ask an arbiter to over rule the WBC. The offer still stands for us to bet on who has the higher net worth. Also willing to bet on who has the higher IQ if that is your new obsession to distract from the fact that you were caught lying about the WBC rules.

If it had been set it wouldn't be in arbitration. :dunce: Okay, so you're admitting you lied about interim champions being entitled to 45% and posted old rules to try to fool people? Why did you do that? I don't think you understand what arbitration is and how it works. If Whyte has an objection to the split ordered by the WBC, he can seek arbitration to address his grievance.

You lied the other day when you said the WBC ordered the purse split 20%. Okay, so you're admitting you lied about interim champions being entitled to 45% and posted old rules to try to fool people? Why did you do that? Why were you mad at me for posting accurate information and why would you want to trick everyone into believing false information? As for the WBC ordering an 80/20 split, I have no idea why you think I'm lying about that when it's been public knowledge for weeks. https://danrafael.substack.com/p/wbc-addresses-the-mandatory-situation "Whyte is in arbitration with the WBC mainly over what the purse split would be. The WBC says 80-20, Whyte wants more." https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2021/12/01/bob-arum-tyson-fury-options/ "The WBC set the split at 80-20 in Fury’s favor"

Not replying to some allegation means you admit to it? :lol1: You've already admitted you posted old rules. Did you do it to fool everyone or did someone fool you? It's gotta be one or the other. Not sure why you're so angry with me when it turns out I was telling the truth and you attacked me for no reason.

You've been asked how many times to show the bet receipt, you can't because you're a liar. So you admit you purposely posted old rules to try to fool everyone? And you keep changing the subject because you got caught? I would be happy, as part of our wager to determine who has the higher net worth, to supply proof of five different million dollar bets. Three of which I've won and two of which I've lost. Make it worth my while.

Go do a google search it will show you i'm not lying. I know it was 45%. Now go pretend you're a millionaire living in a ****ty little apartment. :lol1: The current WBC rules and regulations were published over a decade ago and have been available in the rules section of the WBC website the entire time. You purposely posted old rules to try to trick everyone. Because you've been caught running a scam, you're personally insulting me as a distraction. You absolutely are lying and have been caught. The current WBC rules are very clear. The fact that you cyberstalked me and found one of my rental properties doesn't change the fact that you've been caught lying. If you'd dug a little deeper, you'd have seen what a profitable investment it's been. There's no need to hide behind a screen like a coward Robbie. I'm very happy to bet you on which of us has a higher net worth. Let me know if you're interested.

Why are the old WBC rules still up online when they no longer apply? The old rules haven't appeared in the rules section of the WBC website in over a decade. They aren't linked anywhere on the WBC website. You can find the old rules on google because they haven't been deleted from the WBC's server. That doesn't change the fact that the current rules are available in the rules section. An archive of the old rules, no longer available in the rules section, is irrelevant.

The rule in 2016 was 45% for interim fatso, that was one of the reasons Canelo dropped the belt. Now ru.....jo.......walk slowly on michelin man. You're lying. The current WBC rules and regulations, available in the rules section of the official WBC website, were published December 13, 2011. You were caught purposely posting old rules from 2009, that haven't been available in the rules section of the WBC website in over a decade, to try to fool everyone. Because you know I've caught you lying and you're trapped by the facts, you're personally insulting me as a distraction.

Why did you post the old WBC rules that no longer appear in the rules section of the WBC website to try to fool everyone? Why are the old WBC rules still up online when they no longer apply? Are the WBC actively trying to confuse boxing fans? Why are the new WBC rules so vague and ambiguous on crucial aspects of the sport? Are the WBC actively trying to confuse boxing fans?

Well the obvious one right now is Fury/Whyte, with both sides having silly demands Fury's team requested the split be modified to 80/20 from the usual 70/30 because Fury makes over 10x as much as Whyte and has over 10x as many fans. The WBC agreed with the request. The request was reasonable, not silly, and was granted. Whyte's request, for 45%, based on the lie that interim champions are entitled to 45%, is silly.
