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

[Robbie Barrett]

If this is Whytes only option he needs to take the fight fir himself . He doesn’t need an absurd 5,5 guarantee he could still make a decent pay day . The arbitration ruling still isn’t done yet though is it ?

If Hearn wins the purse bid he can throw Whyte some extra $ on the side. We know Bob isn't taking any risks with a bid so Hearn will likely win.

It’s not an easy fight ,when has anyone had an easy fight with Whyte ?

Don't you think you should apologize to me for calling me so many names and insulting me so much when I told you the split would be 80/20?

I think he'll walk away.

He's done it before, he turned down 5 million for a shot at Joshua.

It was £4mil UK pounds which equates to around $5.5mil usd. The reason he walked away from that was due to the rematch clause stating if he won, the trilogy split would be the same as the 2nd fight... still heavily favouring joshua 70/30 or what ever it was back then. Looks like hes stuck now, needs to take his shot at Fury, cant see him winning by any means, joshua seems destined to get fed another L by usyk and then Joshua and Whyte can get it on which would be a 50.50 fight id say at that stage. Or hearn might try serve AJ, delboy as his comeback... who knows

Lmao whyte can’t catch a break. 20% seems too low though but don’t expect any favours from people you take to court

Big Bank Take Little Bank! Lol! Still want to see who wins the purse bid! I doubt they come to an agreement!

No, that's not true. Had Whyte won the fight, the rematch with Joshua would have been 50/50. Whyte refused to fight unless he made more than Joshua in the third fight.

Are you going to apologize to me for calling me all sorts of names when I said the split was going to be 80/20? You insisted the split would be 55/45 and posted the old version of the rules to try to fool everyone. Do you apologize?

Stop lying. You said the split was already ordered to be 80-20, it wasn't ordered until today, so you apologise for lying.

Why on earth would Hearn give Whyte money on the side.

He’s operating a business not a charity, not to mention Whyte has no contract with Matchroom, it’s a fight by fight basis.

The fight will generate what it generates, Whyte will get the cut he’s entitled too and that’ll be that. Do you think Eddie Hearn is going to start giving millions out of his own pocket to Whyte to make him feel better? business doesn’t work like that,

are you 14?

So Whyte takes the fight? Pay whatever to get the fight then top up to make Whyte happy.
