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

[Queen_Leia]

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

Nah, they are trying to force a purse bid, which Matchroom will win. It's all politics.

[STREET CLEANER]

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.

LOL, he is not. They will go to a purse bid if everything fails.

Fight the man or drop the belt!

He’s not dropping the belt . The WBC made that clear ,Fury will swerve Whyte altogether and fight the winner of the A.J and Usyk fight or I hope ? I still don’t believe Fury wants A.J so when he wins I have my doubts and then maybe he goes for Whyte ? It’s all nonsense with Fury it’s very annoying .

Fury is such an entertainer, that he really does not need a belt! Both Joshua and Usyk would love to fight him! Fury vs. Ruiz in Las Vegas would do MAJOR numbers! Arum is in the Driver's seat! Whyte might as well take 25%!!!

Check their accumulated PPV numbers in the U.K. Whyte has done way more numbers than Fury.

The only fight Fury did bigger numbers was against Wlad and Fury wasn’t the main attraction.

We have to go by the numbers available and projected star power since Fury has NEVER been a draw in the U.K.

If it goes to purse bid - the fight is going on DAZN. So Fury will most likely vacate and run like a coward rather than fight the body snatcher. His choice of opponents in Helenius tells you all you need to know. LOL. Then again, I predicted he’a fighting a no-hoper from Iceland next and Finland is basically Iceland with a fin, lol.

Whyte earned 300k for his last fight and is now demanding 10 million?

Then he’ll need to stay idle and keep faking an injury until AJ vs Usyk 2 happens.

Whytes a body puncher Furys least favored style and has a better resume.
I don't expect him to beat Fury but it should be a lot better fight, though Andy is good if he comes in shape.

Ruiz vs Fury isn't the worst fight either .. I'd watch it.

I suspect we won't get either. what is the old saying you mention a list of names and its the weakest .. so it Helenius (and Whytes already beaten him).

Can we just have Whyte I don't care who gets paid more Arums has already gone up to 25 , Eddie didn't look serious with 45 ... 30 ?? Bob will pay 30 to get it off DAZN.
Whyte will sell a lot of those UK ppvs and seats.

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.

[DaNeutral.]

Ruiz? As in Andy Ruiz? Surely Fury would have to leave Top Rank and cross the street and sign with the PBC if he wants to fight Andy Ruiz? Or does that only go for T Crawford?

I swear American Boxing is littered with fkking contradiction these days.
