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

[WBC WBA IBF]

Hearn is doing the right thing waiting for the arbitration ruling. even if the decision ends up being 8020, the leverage you have in a purse bid is way better than taking 7525 right now.

[P to the J]

Fury vs Ruiz is a way better fight anyway.

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

I’m sorry, I don’t see it.

If you haven’t the reach to trouble Fury, you’d sure as hell better have the footwork. Ruiz has neither, and I think it’s an easy night’s work for Fury if he stays at range.

Don’t get me wrong, Whyte’s an absolute plodder, and he and Fury is a stinker of a fight, but he’s at least strong enough and has enough weapons to make it a bit of a fight

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.

5.5 millions not the worst offer. If Fury vacates then he fights some bum for a vacant title and he’d be lucky to get 2 million. So where’s the upside for Whyte because I don’t see it?

[REDEEMER]

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

He’s fighting Helenius as far as the way they are talking and a certain hand picked fight ,I wouldn’t give Helenius even a 5% chance to win that one .

[Clegg]

The last time Arum acted like arbitration was for sure gonna go his way, it didn't work out like that.

I don't know what a fair amount is for Whyte, but I'm glad he's annoying Arum.

Whyte don’t need an upside obviously he’s going to get more awarded to him after arbitration, the 5.5 number will not match what a U.K fight is worth with Whyte involved .

The people who actually lose money is Arum because he has to pay Fury a certain amount and Helenius doesn’t actually bring any interest,it’s nonsense .

Fury will lose his only belt and the ¨lineal champ¨ moniker just to duck Whyte. Disgraceful

[Smash]

whyte should accept the 25% i think, its not a bad split for him, im not convinced how popular fury will be & if he can just pick an opponent, any opponent and do well, not convinced at all actually, so thats what whyte is also thinking too im sure, i think he could squeeze a few more percentages maybe on to it if he made an offer to arum

The only way you can lose the lineal title is to retire, leave the division for an extended time, or get beaten in the ring.

[Oregonian]

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.

This senile bastard!!! Today he talks about Whyte has never made anything close to $5 million in his career yet he and his bastard child Margarito at one time offered Floyd $8 million when Margarito had never even made half of that in his career.
I am not a fan of Whyte just putting that out
