Enough of the nonsense. The more I think about it the more I think Dillian should stand up for what he believes in.
I would.
The WBC just make up rules on the fly, it's not acceptable.
Fans can't just sit there and say it's OK, regardless of your feelings towards Whyte, Fury, Hearn, Matchroom.
Be real, you would all stand up for yourselves in the real world.
Screw the WBC, fight the fight and stop this nonsense.
This isn't about what you think Dillian is worth, it's about the made up rules.
Dillian Whyte to bring down the WBC.
(I should say that I have always said he should just fight, I just want to see the fight, but now I realise there's more to it. The WBC needs to go.)
Oh no the newbie to the sport wants to talk about the corruption. Obviously you know little to nothing about this sport. Go away small change before I decide to spend ya.
Newbie? Lol. I forget your 120 years old. Bob Arum was probably still in diapers when you became such an expert hey?
You have no heart for this sport. It must be failing in your old age.
I'll use mine to fight for this sport, since people like you have none left
They haven't done anything corrupt.
Unlike the other three orgs, which have all been confirmed to have huge bribery operations.
It’s obvious that the douche bag M312 can’t be bothered with facts. Clearly a newcomer to the game.......
Because I can't respect any 'boxing fan' who support this corrupt organisation - even if you are 120 years old.

80 % -20% split is about right. The world champ and the best guy in division is fighting a "never been a champ". What is the problem?
There are at least 30 guys in division, starting with Joyce and Hrgovic, that would accept that offer with both hands.

Old and wise enough to know the world ain’t gonna stop spinning if Whyte ONLY gets two million to fight Fury instead of four.
I’m mildly curious, of all of the injustices in boxing, why chose this one to go “give me liberty or give me death “ on?

You must be VERY old in that case ;)
Silence is compliance - and you still haven't got a voice against the WBC.
Just the facts.

But again, you're coming back to what you think is just or who deserves what. None of that matters.
The Herring order was in accordance with the WBO's rules. He'd been paying WBO sanctioning fees and knew exactly what was coming. Whyte's order isn't in accordance with the WBC's rules. He didn't get what he paid for.
It's not about defending Whyte. It's about not accepting what the WBC are doing.
The WBC are well within their right to amend the split.
People are only whining because they either support Whyte/Matchroom or dislike Fury. It’s so transparent.
I’ve been a serious boxing fan since before you were born, so take the lecture and stick it in your azs.

Herring was the f***ing champion! C’mon man, it’s not even debatable.
Whyte hasn’t even fought for a European title never mind a World title.
Stevenson had just got 400k vs Nakathila whilst Herring had just got 600k vs Frampton.
Whyte’s highest purse is 4m per reports whilst Fury’s is 15-20m depending on what source you believe.
Herring was far, far, far more deserving of a higher split than Whyte is and unlike Whyte he didn’t b****, moan and cry about it too. This is also the second multimillion pound world title fight Whyte has rejected- it’s laughable how people still defend this fraud.

I won't deny it, the WBC needs to go.
People like yourself who is happy to see the sport die because you hate a boxer too much to stand up against the WBC can go too. Bye.

Wow, you’re really emotionally invested in this issue. Sorry, I just don’t see it as a “give me liberty or give me death “ issue. I can’t care as much about this as you do so you carry on and I’ll go away........

20% of $10 or $15 million is alot better than 35% of nothing
They tried to negotiate. Couldnt get it done. Take the 20% and make the fight. Win the fight, and then demand 85-15 if they want a rematch.
Good thing about a purse bid is there is no rematch clause.
this. they couldnt reach an agreement on their own. WBC is actually helping force the fight here and helping whyte and I dont even care about whyte at all.
whyte was making like 300k his last fights. he will make significantly more facing tyson and this may be his last chance to get a million dollar plus fight. He needs the money to set himself up for life after boxing.
if whyte was worth so much he wouldnt have been making 300k a fight and his team could have secured a deal with fury on their own.
On topic, an 80/20 split is aggressive, but given the question of the amount being split against the backdrop of a spirited smack talk promotion/buyrate, it's a great payday for Whyte. It's a crowded division and twice now, the capable Mr. Whyte has been starched whilst stepping up. All this considered, I think he would be a poor navigator to pass on the opportunity. As the WBC et el, and their regulations, their historical integrity and selfless service to the sport.......oops. I just threw up.
If Whyte does not take the fight, who else does he fight? Maybe this fight, will have to just be about the Glory & not the business.
Even if Whyte wins, I don't think Fury would be able to handle having a permanent loss to Whyte 'So there will be a rematch'.
Oh no... You know the old saying - 'silence is compliance'.
If you don't support the WBC stand up and say it. Don't be part of the problem...
