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

[BangEM]

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.

It’s the most corrupt body out there.

It can’t even follow its own rules.

Salaman ought to be lynched for destroying boxing!

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.

He didn't bypass unifying with AJ because of loyalty. Do you think Fury is as dumb as Wilder?

He accepted all the terms for the AJ fight but was prevented from signing for it because of that ridiculous Wilder trilogy rematch clause.

So Fury couldn't have paid Wilder some set aside money to make the AJ fight happen?

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.

However, does he has more pull with the BBBoC and UKAD though? We might as well face it. Eddie Hearn and Matchroom are the be all and end all of British boxing. Trust me, Eddie is secretly trying to steal this fight from Bob and Top Rank.

Have you got any photos of floppy gloves from his last destruction of Wilder?

Where was Mark Breland while Wilder was preparing to enter the arena?

Did anybody see him?

Have the results of Wilder's second autopsy been released yet?

Has he got any more dents in his skull that could only have been caused by hard, egg shaped objects hidden in Fury's gloves?

I don't know what the BBBoC and UKAD have to do with a WBC mandatory purse split ruling.

But yeah, Eddie does have a lot of pull with them, which is why they tried to get Dillian Whyte suspended for PED abuse before the Rivas fight. Lucky for Eddie and Dillian that VADA were there to bail them out.

I don't think this fight will go to a purse bid. Top Rank won't want to throw money at a UK fight and Warren won't want to risk losing it to Matchroom/DAZN. I think Whyte will be offered more than 20% and a deal will be struck. He won't be getting 45% though!

Let's hope there are no fucking rematch clauses this time.

Man, why are you keep bring up this old stuff? The trilogy is over and it's time to move on from it. However, I meant every word that I said about Fury in both the first and second fights with Deontay Wilder. He was caught cheating on tape and the evidence was overwhelming and does not lie. I believed it then and I believed it now. Nothing has changed as far as my believing that he is a dodgy individual who would resort to dubious means to a particular end.

But the trilogy fight was supposed to settle those allegations once and for all, yeah?

Kind of like a mediaeval trial by combat?

If Fury could still fuck Wilder up, even tho Wilder and co knew how he was supposed to have cheated in the second fight, then would prove he didn't cheat after all.

Wasn't that what you fools were saying?

70/30 is the normal split, but Fury made 15x more than Whyte in their last fights, so it was modified to 80/20, as allowed by rule 2.6. Fury will only be making 4x more than Whyte, even though he normally makes 15x more. So 80/20 is very fair.

Keep in mind when Fury was a mandatory challenger, the split was modified to 80/20 as well. I don't remember you complaining then.

No one really spoke about purse splits back then on the forum. Its probably one of the things Eddie has brought into the limelight in recent years.

But I’m just talking in general, Whyte is a PPV fighter with some good wins whether you like it or not. Maybe his earnings are topped up by the PPV sales rather than just his purse.

I’m not campaigning for Whyte to get more money. My opinion is that he should have a higher split but he hasn’t helped himself
