          It is a strange move cause despite him being a grade A c*** he does do decent numbers over here, he’s surely taking a significant pay cut fighting in the states. Maybe they’re looking for US exposure but the two biggest stars in the division are in the UK. Strange one…

            Came to America before and nobody cared, he was on Crawford vs Indongo Unification Card...of course NOBODY REMEMBERS!

            No issue with Whyte, I like that he don't mind being the Villain but cares about Whyte here in American, hell America really don't give a damn about boxing in general anymore so yeah it will prove to be a complete waste of time because Whyte will never be big here in America. I think DDD can be big in America, Fabio Wardley, Joyce will building up a bit of a following while he was with Richard Schaefer and Ring Star. Dillian Whyte vs Jermaine Franklin is not going to bring people out...most Americans, even Hardcore American Boxing Fans don't even know Jermaine Franklin

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.
                He can always rematch Parker, but he's running from that.....know idea why, after watching the last few Parker fights...

                    Especially to fight someone like Franklin. I get it if he was maybe going to be the co-main, but that's not happening. And I would also get it if it was against someone with a decent name, but Franklin? Mindboggling indeed.

                    Interested in who else they put on the card. Maybe someone like Andrade and they put the card on the east coast?

                      A bum in America is worth more than a Pov level win in Europe?

                      I don't really understand why he wants to be here either. Dude's doing fine where he is. I understand America's a bigger pool of cash, but, fighting dudes no one follows can't be worth more just because it's in America, can it?

                      Is this like opening a business? Expect losses for a while but once you start gaining it's worth it?
