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

[Boxing Goat]

While I agree that Whyte deserves more than a 80/20 split, I do believe that is the normal champion/challenger rate and has been for a very long time.

70/30 or 65/35 seems about right to me. Let's just hope it gets done while we wait on the AJ-Usyk rematch, then the fight for all the marbles has to happen

Of course. 80/20 is extreme. In a high profile british fight, both guys will always be bringing something to the table.

I never said that i believed Whyte earned 300K, I'm stating that Whyte lodged his official purse as being 300K.

My post was in response to deathofaclown, a simpleton who seems to believe this is actually the case. Besides, Fury’s official purse for the trilogy fight with Wilder was £4.4m..I don’t see any Fury fanboys bandying this figure about like it means anything relevant, and neither should they. So why is this £300k figure even a thing worth mentioning, when we all know every fighter under-registers their purses with their respective commission?

70-30 max. Whyte is a bum who got starched by a 97 year old Povetkin. He has almost no value other then being from the UK where the proposed fight will be.

Hearn was quite happy to offer Wilder 15% of a £100 million plus pot when he was the undefeated WBC champion but now wants a ridiculously larger share for a fighter who just two fights ago was knocked unconscious .

Whatever you say Robbie, although I'm not the guy who mysteriously goes offline after 5pm.

I've figured out why though, that's the time your local dominoes opens. Them pizzas won't deliver themselves.

I once gave a pizza delivery guy a 30 cent tip ordering a full pie about 11/12 dollars when I was young thinking I was doing him a favor ? Fury asking for 80 % deliberately is even worse then that .

I would offer a 75/25 for Whyte. Whyte couldn't fill an arena if he tried. Whyte isn't very marketable as a fighter so that has to factor into the equation as well. 25% for Whyte at the highest. No more no less.

Team Wilder abandoned negotiations . A.J was worth well over what Wilder was making the 15% was a bargain it was over 7 times Wilders payday at the time and he had zero PPV events nor any bargaining chip besides the one belt, A.J had 4 .

LOL at Robbie holding a job

His mom comes from work at 5 pm and makes him clean his room (her basement)

Whyte has sold out the O2 arena before so that’s false .
