PBC have offered Bivol 8m to fight David, which is far more than the 2.7m Bivol was paid for Beterbiev rematch. So the ball is in Bivols court, if he doesn't take the fight its a duck.
I would be surprised if he scared of David though, unlike with Canelo where I was convinced.
Pretty much every single report says Bivol was paid 10m for the rematch.
Why can’t Fury fans just call a spade a spade, your gypsy king, the fighting man that doesn’t care about money has turned into a bigger diva than AJ ever was.
Lol, oh so now Ngannou vs AJ is a great fight, would have been slaughtered a few months ago.
This is Fury’s fuck up, he can rematch the novice and sort it out himself.
So basically, wah wah wah Bivol can’t move down, it’s not his weight class it’s not fair.
While simultaneously lol Canelo can easily fight at 175.
Sounds like excuses just in case Bivol accepts and loses tbh, not sure why it’s okay for one guy to fight where he’s deemed to be at a disadvantage but not the other.
Quite amusing watching the same guys that have said nobody cares about Whyte for years suddenly acting like bidding 41m for a fight that includes him is great business.
Had Hearn won with his bid the same guys would be laughing at him overpaying.
Why should Whyte go out of his way to help promote a single bit of this fight, according to Fury 8m is 7.5m more than he’s worth.
So go on then champ, you’re up.
Also, this place “wah wah wah Hearn never shuts up wah wah”.
Then complains when he does.
Shows you how misguided people are the OP actually thinks he’s smart he doesn’t see everything he does on the forum shows how dumb he is .
Whyte has went from being a nobody to being worthy of the highest purse bid in the history of the sport.
it’s a compete gamble at this price.
Leaning more on it being a gamble than spending money to make money.
Since his comeback Fury fights have generally tanked outside of Wilder and Whyte has a fairly solid at best PPV history.
Depends how much people go for the UK grudge match angle, it’s probably just as possible the majority see it as a pointless mismatch.
It will do really well in the UK.
The only real downside is that Whyte got knocked out two fights ago , which probably takes a bit of Shine off the fight and the casual market are the ones that really drive PPV and many of them may just expect fury to walk through him
that said, it’ll still be a huge fight here
Fury is a huge star now, Especially in the UK. His stardom as really skyrocketed since the wilder fights and he hasn’t fought in the UK since. He will fill a stadium and sell a lot of pay per views because it’s not at five in the morning like his fights with wilder.
Also, Fury did good numbers v Wlad, And nobody can say Wlad drove those pay per views because his previous few fights were free on Eurosport watched by absolutely nobody.
this fight will sell well, no doubt about it. They are both good characters that match up well to sell the fight too.
Hope you’re right.
Commercially tanked based on what figures exactly?
You fools just make sh** up.
Like him or not Fury is one the biggest draws in boxing. No debate.
Same goes with AJ, Wilder, Canelo, GGG etc. Whether you like these guys or not, you don’t earn what they earn without being able to draw money. It’s common sense.

Yeah these were just rip roaring successes, this is a complete gamble at that price that the UK grudge match angle sells, even Hearns bid was possibly pushing it.
There is nothing in Furys history that suggest sticking his name on any fight generates that sort of cash.
It’s clear from the 41m they bid that they certainly value Whyte at more than 20%.
Whyte’s only worth 20% dumbass. Fury is the guy driving the revenue. That’s why he’s getting a massive slice of the pie whilst Whyte is sucking on the crust.
Well if that’s the case then this whole thing hinges on Furys selling power, a guy who without Wilder as his dance partner has commercially tanked since his comeback.
Great take there genius.
Nobody else, including Fury got asked to fight Luis Ortiz before getting Wilder, Ortiz himself got his shots off the back of fighting 5 years worth of cans.
Ortiz failed 2 drugs tests, didn’t stop him getting 2 shots and the current champion also pissed hot.
Double standards are laughable.
The first GGG fight is the only legit case for a robbery, Jacobs also has a legit case for being robbed against GGG.
Don’t really ever hear crying about that though.
