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

Dillian Whyte the worst managed boxer in the world he is Number and 2 Michael Hunter he getting £5 million and turns it down

Fury maybe hasn’t been GUARENTEED that much, but he’s deft made over that amount. The last wilder fight alone got him roughly $28-30 Mils after it was all set and done.

He only made that in his dreams, lol.

Some of you are so daft that you don’t understand basic maths.

If Fury made $30m - then Wilder made $20m based on 60/40 split. And to even get close to that money, they’d to sell about 1.2million PPV. And the fight didn’t even break 300k PPV - if it did, they would’ve made it public.

Again: Fury has NEVER made $15m in a fight in his career!

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.

True, but he’s working with Reynoso, and he would at least bring out the best Ruiz possible to show up. Fury towers over him though and would just jab the hell out of him all night. I would also expect a snoozer one sided jab fest.

the PPV price was $80 and it sold around 650k. That’s roughly $50mil right there. That’s not including the TV right to other regions, which I assume had 100% of the UK rights. That plus sponsors & gate, fury deft walked away with $28-30 mil

" From what I know about the case, he doesn't have much of a case " have we not heard Arum come out with that about an arbitration before?

[Boxing fan1981]

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

Good guess, but I’ll say they vacate and drop the belt. As much as I would love Matchroom to get this on DAZN, I don’t see it happening.

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%!!!

Whoever wins between Usyk and Joshua goes after the belt. Not fury. They've both clearly stated multiple times they want undisputed. They are legacy fighters. Sure they really want to fight Fury. But the belt and the fighter who has it is priority. If that's Fury, great. If its not, then Fury will come later. That's their mindset.

I smell fraaaannnncchhhiiissseeee

[Rodtang]

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.

No, PBC will allow that as there's a belt to gain. They don't make the fights when there's a belt to lose.

If Fury fights Ruiz or Helenius next, I can`t support him any more.

Ruiz and Helenius are ok fights for Wilder to come back, but not for the champ, no way.

Fury must fight Whyte or Joyce next, because Usyk fights Joshua.
