Comments Thread For: Salita: Otto Wallin Is Willing & Ready To Fight Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte

[REDEEMER]

There is a cultural issue with this. There are interviews with John Fury saying Whyte needs to mind what he's saying and the reason for this is that travellers will not tolerate people using their name lightly. Whyte won't get a penny above the bare minimum from Tyson Fury because of the things he has said. This will doubtless be dismissed by posters here but is a very real factor in this fight.

Feelings don’t outweigh facts . The fact is these guys don’t want to fight Whyte and are hoping it goes away .

Probably doesn't want to fight him, there's no advantage for him in it. If he has to though he'll do him no financial favours whatsoever for the reasons I've stated.

This is what happens when boxers enable stiffs who haven't proven anything by digging them up from the graveyard.

Who has Wallin beaten to be so entitled?

He hasn't done fcck all in the division and he's below the likes of Ruiz, Hrgovic, Joyce, Dubois, Hunter, Parker et al. And ought to be pushing to fight prospects on his level to prove he belongs in the division.

I'll never understand how this guy became so entitled.

Pretty much what I was thinking, there’s too many of these guys at the moment who think they are entitled to a big fight.

Whyte owes Wallin nothing, Wallin beat a top 25-30 guy in Brazeale. He should fight a top 10-15 guy and progress from there

Tyson already beat him , Whyte didn't fancy it

The advantage is a a huge payday ,he won’t make a better payday in the U.K without Whyte that’s just a fact .

Surprised this is such an issue
It's a big fight in the UK that wouldn't be nearly as big replacing either man so they should both be keen

It's not a fight that should be falling apart over money

The WBC have seemingly had it in for Whyte since day 1 though so I'm not surprised they're mandating an unrealistic split. Whyte should have gone another route a long time ago

He can earn money at will and already has a fortune. There are other things in life for some people and I've highlighted one of them here. He isn't going to make Whyte any richer than he has to for reasons of respect.

He’s not going to make himself richer either and would effect Arum more who is losing money on him ,if Fury fought say Kabayel in the states how is that beneficial to the contract he’s owed money on ?

Wallin isn't ranked in the top 15 of the IBF, he can't be in an IBF eliminator.

Thanks, I don't follow the sanctioning body ratings much outside of the top 5.

So, if Wallin isn't even top 15, he needs to start beating some higher ranked i.e. 10-15 and get in line for a shot against the likes of the fighters he's calling out!

The Swede has proven himself a worthy contender. The way he's been treated by Hearn is a disgrace. Hearn protecting Whyte by keeping him out of the ring is a disgrace.
