Comments Thread For: Fury-Whyte Heads To January 11 Purse Bid; WBC Sets 80/20 Split

[removed]

That's an easy question. Of course, it's Eddie Hearn. In all Honesty; i see this all as a ploy on Dillian Whyte's part to run out the clock and give Eddie Hearn a shot at promoting this fight through a purse bid That's my humble opinion.. There's nothing more that Eddie and Matchroom would love to do than to bring another one of Top Rank's champions Tyson Fury over to DAZN.

Don't be silly now.

Hearn will have to bid 50 million if Dillian wants 10, and that's just the purses, he then has to pay to actually put on and promote the fight. They will have to sell 20 million PPVs just to make the purse money back. I don't see DAZN taking that sort of risk.

Whyte is well paid, but Fury is one of the highest paid boxers on the planet (likely #3 behind Canelo & Joshua). So when you face one of the highest paid boxers on the planet in a purse bid situation, the split is going to be modified. When Fury was Klitschko's mandatory, the split was changed to 80/20.

Yeah so why are ppl acting like this isn't already set in the WBC rules???

My thoughts on this:

WBC have really done Whyte over here, split could have been 30/35% for Whyte and that would have been fair.

Its a good mandatory fight, not one of the soft mandatory opponents we have seen in the past.

Unfortunately for Whyte, taking legal action against the WBC has done him no favours. He just needs to quit moaning now and take the fight and believe he can win and if he does, then he can dictate how much he earns.

just calling it as I see the it.
Saying it how it is from the UK , some might say.

Dude *** u! Whyte jut LOST badly to an old dude 2 fights ago.

Get your tongue out of Whyte's @sshole.

1-1 last 2 fights. WOW he ko'd CovetKin!!

Came in fat as **** and looked like DOGsht against Wach!

And then fight before had issues with his POST fight drug test!!!

GTFOhere with your sob @ss story and fake tears.

When you're right, name call all you want. But if you hurl insults, and end up being proven wrong, an honorable man would apologize.

Yes they would. These Whyte fans are a weird bunch...

80/20 like the WRITTEN rules states.

I believe that he has been instructed by Eddie Hearn to deliberately sabotage and price himself out with Top Rank until January 11th; So that Matchroom can win the purse bid. There is nothing more they would love than to get their hands on that WBC Heavyweight title belt.

If Matchroom wins the pusre bid then Whyte would be more than willing and happy to take a substantial pay cut for that title bout because we don't know how much money if any Eddie Hearn is paying Dillian Whyte under the table in order to drag this whole thing out.

Dillian Whyte is not going to get anywhere near $10M from Matchroom. He just wants Eddie Hearn to promote the fight. i feel that if the fight is hosted in the U.K and Hearn is the promoter then Fury is going to need a KO in order to retain his title; Because I can sense a U.K. screw job of Tyson Fury by the three official judges if he doesn't.

Whyte better take this deal because there is no way Bob would allow this fight to go to a purse bid. He would persuade Fury to just drop the belt if the two sides can't come to terms because no one promotes Fury except ESPN, Top Rank and Arum. Also, Fury strikes me as a very staunchly and loyal individual. There is no way he would betray Bob and go fight on DAZN with Matchroom and Eddie Hearn for more money like Teofimo Lopez did because he has been good to him. Arum has made Tyson a multi-million dollar prizefighter.

Lol ... you spent the best part of 2 years telling us Wilder was a staunchly loyal individual and Fury was a lying, cheating scumbag!

[kafkod]

Does anyone else gets the feeling that Eddie Hearn is the one behind the scenes pulling the strings in this entire mess; Because i do?

Hearn has zero pull with the WBC and we've already seen how stubborn Whyte can be when he went against Eddie's plans and refused to fight AJ.

[MC Hammer]

The WBC should just abide by its rules. Putting the splits that low at the request of a promoter will make fighters think twice about paying fees to pursue their belt.

You never do that when proven wrong after insulting people who call you out on your lying pro WBC propaganda.

I still think he is a lying rotten, cheating scumbag piece of shit. However, he is still very loyal to the people he is the closest around and associates with; Which is why he bypassed the AJ fight for the Wilder trilogy bout.
