Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury's Promoter Advises Whyte To Lower His Financial Demands

[GucciGod]

I reckon Whyte’s brother Dean is correct in him predicting it will now drag on until after AJ/Usyk, then the winner will be able to agree a fight with Tyson, Dillian will then go through his case and be finally given his mandatory status. Maybe we get an undisputed HW champ who vacates titles weeks later.

Even though I dislike how Whyte goes about things outside the ring, and turned down a shot against AJ, that’s his business. He probably does deserve his crack at the title. But he talks like fury has had the belt for 5 years or something!

Fury won't fight Whyte even if the latter fights for free.
They're just covering Fury's duck by pretending they wanna fight him. They were doing the same šhit during AJ "negotiations".

"Tyson is in the driving seat. He’s the champion, he’s fought hard to get there, he’s not had any easy fights."

Sorry Frank... Pianeta, Sefari, Schwarz and Wallin would all disagree with that

Wallin is an easy fight?

Tyson Fury big fights has been carried by other fighters where he was the B-side. The third fight with Wilder was just contractual where the winner of the second fight gets the larger share of 60%, still Wilder is the crowd carrier of their trilogy. The fight in Germany with Klitschko he was the B-side. So tell Me which fight Fury has fought where he carried the other fighter to be considerably top tv ratings?

Even the Chisora fight, it was Chisora that carried him.

If the bolded is true, then how come Wilder never headlined a PPV till he fought Fury? And how come Wilder's only PPV fight without Fury sold substantially less than any of his Fury trilogy fights?

70/30 Fury sounds about right to me.

PED Whyte a punching bag in the ring as well as in negotiations

[First order]

Watch as hearn scworms at the injustice
whyte deserves nothing untill he's earned it by way if elimination against either Joyce or Wilder.
brutally knocked out by an old man and on a winning streak of one is not deserved Championship pairing.

Hahahahaha. I see the ladies are out again. Quit arguing over Men's Money. Idc what the split is, make it happen. If you two cannot agree, then go by the last 3 fight purses and that's fair. Whyte asking for 45% sounds like he doesn't want the fight.

Here is what this thread will consist of:

1) People saying "Fury is scared to death of Whyte."
2) People deciding they have a real knack for these things and figuring on a proper cut of the apple.
3) We will get all kinds of theories about what the true motivations might well be!

Its always the same with these threads... Does it occur to anyone that sometimes the worth of someone is totally arbitrary? Take for example... two men paid to punch each other in the face: Deciding who draws more of a spectacle in so doing... And under these conditions?

Whyte, Fury, etc would be expected to make a case for why they are the more valuable face puncher! Its human nature, its succesful negotiations... If Fury had offered Whyte a 90% cut what reason is there for Whyte not to demand a 95% cut?

As far as any prize fighter being "scared" this is debatable with a caveat... that being that guys like Liston, Duran, Foreman and Tyson exist(ed). Yes Michael Spinks seemed genuinely "scared" of Tyson agreed...

These same people crying about Whyte had no problem when AJ offered wilder flat fees as low as 12.5% smh
