Comments Thread For: Arum Slams Whyte's Demands For Fury Fight: Now Considering Ruiz, Helenius As Opponents

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank boss Bob Arum is bothered by Dillian Whyte's monetary demands as the mandatory challenger for Tyson Fury's WBC heavyweight belt, so he's already drawing up alternative plans to get his prizefighter back in the ring by spring.

Fury vs Ruiz is a way better fight anyway.

I don't think Helenius lasts 6 rounds, though.

Arum loves to negotiate via the media. Whyte is over pricing himself and he is not a big star. Maybe in the UK this fight will sell well but not in the US. Nobody knows who Whyte is in the US.

Sounds like Whyte and his team have no confidence in him being able to beat Fury.

How? Ruiz is a sitting duck for any mover considering what Joshua did to him. Whyte is a much better fight and obviously he’s done more to earn it. Ruiz is irrelevant, inactive and only fought a dead Chris Arreola since losing to Joshua in 2019.

So not only does Ruiz not deserve it over Whyte, the fight would be boring as ***.

They would only make this fight because they can pay Ruiz in cake dollars.

That crispy old cvnt, fish eyes and Tyson for what ever purpose don't want any part of Whyte and are going to put zero effort in to making it and walk away at the earliest possible opportunity.

They say they don't like Whyte demand, fine, keep talking, but have they even talked at all to Whyte or his manager or promoter or are they just guna bypass that and run.

Sounds like they would rather take a fight that literally nobody wants in place of a fight that some ppl want without evrn trying.

Arum is showing they don’t want the fight. Negotiations don’t start at 5 million.

Everyone knows that’s a lowball for a U.K stadium fight get real .

He’s done bigger numbers than Fury in the U.K. and that’s the most important thing. So going by the numbers they have done in the U.K. alone - he deserves at least 35%. And as a mandatory and interim champ - he should get 40%.

Whyte is in the driving seat here. Fight him or vacate the title.

Ruiz was massively overweight for the second Joshua fight. He's in shape now, and unlike Whyte, he has a chin and some basic boxing ability.

Whyte has no head movement, poor defense, a bad chin, and he got iced by a half dead Povetkin. He won't land on Fury. He'll be target practice.

I don't expect either of them to beat Fury but I expect Ruiz would at least have a chance to see the final bell.
