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

[Boxing Scene]

Whyte might be the dumbest boxer. Seriously he turns down every big fight then gets knocked out cold nu povetkkn. Just an idiot..

[Bronx2245]

Ruiz will not cost less..he has already turned down £4m to fight Whyte, which is what Arum is offering here against Fury for a far riskier fight, and Ruiz already made $7m+ fighting AJ for 3 belts on the line when he had no name in the first fight. What makes you think he won’t demand this at the very minimum, and probably more now that he has a bigger name?

Joyce would indeed cost less, but I genuinely don’t see him fighting Fury for no belt and evidently so as it looks like he’s not even in the conversation for Arum.

I think Ruiz would take the fight for 25% in Las Vegas. It would be a big gate, and upside too!

[Bronx2245]

They would lose more money catering to Ruiz or Helenius in a smaller fight that won't sell even close to a Whyte one . In Ruiz case he’s going to want more then 5 million and if they give him it it makes them look foolish where they wouldn’t with Whyte .

At the end of the day the object or goal is not to stage any Whyte fight so that’s why you see the offer they came up with .

For a fight with Fury in Las Vegas, I think Ruiz would take the fight for 25%. He would want more if there's a rematch!

“Turns down every big fight” lol..a 2nd AJ fight for £4m, which Whyte subsequently made elsewhere anyway, and an Ortiz fight to be ‘2nd mandatory’ behind Brezeale, which he turned down to headline a PPV against Parker for more money that he actually won?

At least Whyte got knocked out for the same amount of money he declined against AJ, then immediately avenged his loss. The dumbest distinction must go to Wilder surely, for getting knocked out TWICE in a row for a small fraction of the money he would have made against AJ? The guy himself admitted it, and is now talking about retirement - such was the manner of his dismantlement by Fury.

According to Warren a rematch clause is not necessary , it would make him a liar .

It’s a non title fight , 25% for A side Andy to accept ? Whyte should be offered 25% in whatever the buys do but he’s being guaranteed 5 million like it’s a favor ?

These muppets are now claiming that Fury vs Joyce sell out Wembley, lol.

That’s just as ridiculous and preposterous as Tank, Wilder and Crawford vs JT selling out Wembley. There are too many nutters in the boxing world that just love making outlandish claims.

Just because AJ made selling out Wembley easy - that doesn’t mean any idiot can do it. Groves vs Froch 2 which was a highly requested fight due to the controversy in the first fight didn’t even sell out Wembley in full capacity despite Groves being in his Manor, lol.

No one cares about Joyce in London and he has more fans on Boxing Scene than I have met in real life. I don’t even think Joyce can sell out Wembley Arena which is about 10k capacity tbh. And Fury isn’t that loved in London for people to invade Wembley for his fight against a Joyce most people don’t know apart from boxing fans. Joyce is neither Whyte or Chisora in London. He’s not even Yarde, lol.

Can’t speak for Cardiff or Old Trafford tho. But cut it out when it comes to Wembley. And travelling fans can’t fill Wembley to full capacity, even when England is playing footie. It’s mostly always Londoners.

Fury vs Whyte would probably do Groves vs Froch 2’s numbers at Wembley (not doing AJ’s numbers tho).

Fury vs Joyce should be at Charlton, Millwall or Crystal Palace stadiums, lol. It won’t even sell out Emirates or Spurs stadium.

Arum said he offered 25%! But idiot Dillian Shyte and his team turned it down.

He's obviously pricing himself out of this fight.

Yup thinking he's gonna get 45% is ducking.

Arum said he offered 5.5 million, that’s breaking it down . He threw 25 % to confuse people like you. .25% out of what the buys are isn’t bad but that’s not what he said and it’s still not ideal either since Fury has no drawing history to his name , and money he nearly makes anyway in the U.K with a decent opponent so you are foolish if you can’t see that number is a duck when it’s about 1 million dollars more then Whytes biggest pay .

Fury can’t do a big stadium fight now so he’s going to lose money along with Arum but Whytes ducking ?
