Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Dillian Whyte: WBC Orders Open Negotiating Period For Heavyweight Title Fight

[REDEEMER]

When has Wlad ever been a draw HBO got shot of him because him and his brother are abysmal draws and Fury has/had an equally boring style that fight was NEVER going to be good for a casual audience...

Whyte has never proven to be a draw over here either he's been in with guy who's had their name established by fighting AJ or Chisora who's always done relatively good numbers his one fight with a guy no one has heard of was Rivas and it was his 2nd worst performing fight in terms of #s.

Whyte has sold out 02 arena ,how is he not a draw over there the guy does main events and pay
Per views ?


Klitschko is a massively popular figure worldwide ,he’s a huge name so what are you talking about comparing Whyte to him ? The fact is for you guys on here is Fury will not draw big numbers on his own ,the event is big because of Whyte is it as much for Fury ? That’s speculation by the past where he had to cancel an event as champion fighting Klitschko the rematch in the U.K .

Fury's UK profile is enormous now and not comparable to the last time he fought here. Even his wife has a book out and a TV career. He's a bigger draw than AJ now in my opinion.

Your opinion is cute. But it does not hold water. AJ could fight an absolute bum and the stadium would sell out in hours. Fury can fight the highest ranked opponent possible and STILL have empty seats in a small arena.

[thetruthteller]

Yes, it does matter. Fury just obliterated Wilder, AJ just got dominated by Usyk. Fury is now the undefeated WBC champion, AJ has no title and 2 loses.

How could that not matter?

Because you are talking about drawing power. Of which fury has very little by himself. AJ, even with the losses, is still the biggest draw in boxing by far. The rematch with Usyk will sell out just like the since match did. Fury vs Whyte will be good for the 02 Arena or something but it will never sell out Wembley. People come out to see AJ fight, because AJ fights the best heavyweights possible. People do NOT come to see fury fight, because Fury tries to fight Seferi type bums.

No he isn't he's big in Germany and the Ukraine that's about it.

As for Whyte you completely ignore what I said about him fighting opponents AJ has literally just fought to parrot that Whyte is somehow a draw GTFOH just like Fury he's never fought a guy who's not already well established and proved his worth.

The fact is regardless of your bleating the Wilder Fury Saga alone has made more money then Whyte's entire career regardless of it being in the UK or US arguably the 2nd fight alone probably did that and that's got to be considered either way you slice it...

This is the end of the fury train. Whyte will knock him out.

Just like how you claimed that Deontay was definitely going to knock him out.

Fury will play with this bum and stop him late.

None of that makes any sense. Fury is the WBC champion and recognised by almost everyone as the No 1 HW in the world. He is as well known as AJ in the UK now and the majority of casual fans, plus practically all hardcore fans, believe he beats AJ if they fight. Most boxing fans in the UK would much prefer AJ to step aside from a rematch with Usyk and allow Fury to fight Usyk instead.

Yes, AJ vs Usyk 2 would sell tickets in the UK, but Fury vs Usyk is the fight that everyone except Eddie Hearn would prefer to see next. That is a better way to judge the relative drawing power of Fury and AJ right now than pulling up PPV numbers from 6 years ago or talking about Fury vs Seferi in 2018.

Good stuff. Let's hope everything moves along smoothly.

This is something Whyte loves though. He loves feeling his head crash against the canvas. Dude is a ****ing bum and I cant believe he is ranked in the top 10. ****ing bum

Tyson Fury has been knocked down more times in his career than Dillian Whyte.

This fight may have been a easy fight for Fury, while he was training under Peter Fury. But this regressed version of Fury in my opinion? May find himself in another chaotic fight.

Nobody really knows for sure how Fury will do against these other top heavyweights. His fights vs Wilder may have acted as some sort of smoke screen.

Currently right now, I still think Tyson Fury will win. But win or lose it will become abundantly clear after this fight, that Tyson Fury is not miles better than these other heavyweights 'This is already clear to me, but it is not with Fury's own hardcore fans as of yet'.

Your opinion is worthless, based as it is on your monomanaiacal hatred for Fury. This fight, if it happens, will sell out Cardiff easily and it won't be Whyte selling those tickets.

[greeneye99]

Yes, but that was also before he and KO'd Wilder twice and won the WBC title. And we are talking here about Fury's drawing power in the UK, not in the US.

Bro
You're posting about Fury's drawing power in the UK
