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

[DougalDylan]

Nah he'll be preparing a purse bid, it's Whytes money not his, hopefully, Fury will stick with the fight at 80% can't see Bob being able to con him out of that.

Furys out of contract with ESPN now so will Bob want to bid high if he doesn't sign a new contract first.

Let's just get this fight.

Eddie Hearn likely having a meltdown

[Boxingfanatic75]

How did Whyte’s percent get lower?

Because I think they sat around the table and figured it out. The man only made 350k in his last fight and in any other HW era he’d be nothing more than a journeyman at best.

[IronDanHamza]

Correct.

Let's do the maths.

Dillian wants 10 million, so DAZN will have to bid 50 million, 40 million of which goes straight to Tyson Fury's pocket.

That means they have to sell 2 million PPVs at 25 a go just to recoup the purses lol.

Then they have to pay to put on and promote the fight.

Well that is never going to happen No chance of that kind of bid.

Hearn and Whyte looking like total fools.

What about the arbitration though? Doesn’t that have a say on the split?

I can only assume that it's been resolved.

I can only assume that it's been resolved.

I can’t keep up with all this politics nonsense.

Whyte should just accept the split and take the shot.

I’m sure Fury got 20% with Klitschko.

[joe strong]

I like Fury but there should never be a non-title match when he is a world champion. Ruiz or Helenius I am fine with but it should be a title match. Fury will lose a lot of credibility if he doesn’t defend his title.

If he's got any sense, he'll go back to Arum with his tail tucked between his legs and agree to the original deal.

[jonnyc420]

The short of it, Whyte played himself with dumb demands.

[thack]

Whyte should count himself lucky he's getting 20% after being ironed out just two fights back .Warren/Fury/Arum aren't going down that ****** rematch route with terms that idiot Hearn does. So it's down to Whyte to win the lottery and move his career on without begging for purses he doesn't deserve.

Have to protect the occult qeer.
