Comments Thread For: Hearn On Fury-Whyte: Absolutely Want More Than 80-20 Split For Deal With Top Rank, Warren

[removed]

Well it’s not just a word he’s preached this since day one . Since winning the belt he’s become that guy .

He's also said in plenty of interviews that he's all about the cash.

It all depends on which side of the bed he wakes up on.

[REDEEMER]

Do u ever listen to furys interviews, no doubt a top fighter but the dude contradicts himself on a regular basis, only a fool believes what he says, he might even contradict himself a few times in the hour, I wouldn't take anything he says seriously

Fury knows a 80/20 split is ducking a fight . He also knows when fighters want to fight they negotiate reasonably because that’s another thing he explained. He doesn’t want to fight Whyte that’s for sure ,posters have to know when someone is randomly b.sing or lying . He’s obviously flip flopping now to avoid a potential match here .

[First order]

We were on stand by for whyte ducking another ordered fight...when hearn is using terms like an abrupt end you know he wants to duck.
B side do not get to make demands this is lost on hearn.

A mandatory does, they have a minimum purse split when it goes to bid, being interim that's 45%. Whyte will get a better deal or Fury will lose the title.

The WBC love Fury and despise Whyte. No way he's getting 45%

If it goes to purse bid, we all know which promoter will win that. Your boy is going to drop the belt like the ***** he is.

Fury v Wlad was one of the biggest PPV’s in the UK

Fury would fill stadiums now, he’s become a huge star in the last 3 years, he just hasn’t fought in the UK. He’s currently the biggest star in UK boxing and the nations hero.

Ah yeah of course, but my point is that the fight wasn’t in the UK and Klitschko was the A-side draw in that fight.

I’m not knocking Fury at all - I think he’s unquestionably the best fighter in the UK. However he doesn’t have the crossover appeal amongst the casual followers that AJ has, who still remains the biggest star and ticket seller, and I anticipate his rematch with Usyk will do better numbers than Fury-Whyte or whoever. AJ will have to continue losing badly for that to change.

Fury should honestly have been the biggest star after the Klitschko fight, but the scheduled rematch in Manchester struggled to sell. So my point remains that until he starts fighting here, I won’t bet significantly on him filling a stadium regardless of the opponent.

Say what you want about Whyte, who is obviously a far inferior fighter apart from the punch power, he’s a proven ticket seller who will bring value, entertainment and overall success to the promotion. Fury’s team petitioning for a 80-20 split seems to me that they’re not being serious, but let’s see..hopefully it’s simply a negotiation tactic.

80-20 is ridiculous, but at some point Whyte has to understand his position!

'RUBBISH MONEY' Dillian Whyte turned down Anthony Joshua rematch as he was offered just £4m… while Tyson Fury was quoted £15m
Heavyweight was also incensed AJ would earn 'the lion's share' in the rematch even if he was to lose his belts in the first fight

DILLIAN WHYTE revealed he turned down an Anthony Joshua rematch because he was offered only £4million - while rival Tyson Fury was proposed a deal nearly quadruple that.

Talks had been ongoing since September for Whyte, 30, to rematch unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, 29, at Wembley on April 13.

However, the Brixton ****er declined the offers, revealing to the BBC he believed the deal was “rubbish”, especially after his countrymen Fury, 30, was offered £15m for the same fight.

The Brit was also incensed AJ, who beat Whyte in 2015, would earn "the lion's share" in the rematch even if he was to lose his belts in the first fight.

Whyte said: “What people have got to understand is what’s a large chunk of money to them and what’s a large chunk of money to me? It’s two different things.

“I’m not trying to sound arrogant, but - £4million?

“I’m one of the top four fighters in the world, and really you can’t offer Tyson Fury £15m and offer me £4m.

“Of course I believe I can become a world champion, anything could happen, of course I believe I can beat him (Joshua).

“They wanted to pay me rubbish money in the first fight, I beat him, they wanted the lion’s share of the rematch, which I didn’t think was right.”

Clearly explain how and why Shyte garners more than 20? Since his loss to AJ in 2015 he’s fought the journey man’s circuit of The Who’s who in boxing. He’s carried that loss as street cred year over year as it’s his golden ticket to fight any champion at anytime for the money he commands? He Won a vacant WBC participation trinket, beat up on a one dimensional, tire after the 4th round Chisora, arguably lost to Parker, gets sparked cold to Povetkin in the KO of the year and hasn’t stopped yammering about how he is entitled to this and that. After that KO he should have been moved to the back of the line. These “rematch clauses” in p h u c k i n g non title fights? Gtfoh with that BS. When you lost in the 70’s, 80’s, 90s, early 2000’s that was it you moved to the back. Only now in this age do non title holders get “run back” fights and it’s done because the promotional outfit’s and commissions’ “chosen guy” lost. That’s the problem with boxing and its non movement.

Shyte should be begging for table scraps from the champion to get his title shot. Heaven’s knows he never stops talking about it.

Why lie? 500,000 according to Wiki, a 1/3 of AJs record.
