    Dillian Whyte coming to America is dumb

    Who's been asking for that ****? Are DAZN's Matchroom USA cards just to push UK subs?

    Yeah it literally makes no sense, he'd make a lot more money in the UK. As much as I don't think highly of Charles Martin he is absolutely correct. If you are trying to chase the big dogs especially in america you can't start with tomato cans especially when your already established as a contender.

    Arreola, Ruiz, Martin, Parker, those are guys that could atleast help people actually want to see you fight

      Arreola or Ruiz sure but honestly there's maybe 10,000 people in the entre US who could tell you the difference between Martin and Franklin. Its why pay in boxing is so skewed towards the name fighters, everyone else is interchangeable. Martin may have talked his way into the second fight, and good for him if it works out that way.

        So he wants to come to America and face a bottom 30 HW. Funny enough, Whyte will probably still go 12 huffing and puffing, looking like garbage like he did against Wach.

            I actually think for him the UK money has dried up. He has basically rematches everyone he can over there except Joshua...and he isn't getting that fight. The purpose of fighting someone in the high 20's or low 30's in terms of rank is simply so that he can provide a highlight reel KO. It's what the Americans like to watch so he will be able to stand out and maybe make his way to a decent money fight. He would essentially be trying to restart his career over there.

              We want rid of him over here anyway. You guys can keep him.

              I’m pretty sure Whyte’s fights will still be shown on Sky and not DAZN in the UK too.

                  Lol hell no.. Hearn needs to finalize that Mikey against Prograis card. We can't care too much about Whyte over here.

                    Yea I've heard similar theories that this has to do with DAZN UK subs & Sky supposedly having first dubs on Whyte's UK fights more than it makes any sense for Whyte to come to the US for any other reason.
