Comments Thread For: Hearn Believes Fury-Whyte Purse Bid Could Be Delayed While WBC Legal Battle Plays Out

[ShoulderRoll]

You were never with Fury being the lineal champion when he was fighting Wilder ?


“Fury was the one who ended the Klitschko era. That is without question.

His status only goes back that far, though. Not 100 years”

That is a response to someone calling him the lineal champion .


Man you really did jump ship this never gets old contradiction after contradiction after the Wilder wins .


Fury didn’t end Klitschko era A.J did as well ,Fury declined the Wlad rematch how did he end it ?

Tyson Fury ended the days of Wladimir Klitschko being champion. That's unquestionable.

So yes, Fury is the lineal champion OF THAT SPECIFIC LINEAGE.

You obviously can't trace an unbroken championship line back 100 years in the heavyweight division, though. So that comment is also true.

Lawsuits and arbitration are becoming the norm in boxing. It's about time for Fury to throw that belt in the trash if this crap keeps dragging out.

I thought whytes arbitration was about getting a title shot? Now it seems to be about something else... Whyte is a perpetual whinger who doesn't really want this fight.

These bids sully the boxing business so much, imo. Not the boxing business, but the business of boxing: two men at the top, both of whom are confident they can beat the other, settling it in the ring. I can understand both sides, obv, but its not a good look for Tysons corner, because then it opens it up to his saying "screw it, I wont fight then", which is characteristically un-Tyson Fury-like..and I understand Whytes side, because 80/20 is a insult, but if he's that supremely confident, he could take it but there are a LOT of hands in a fighters pockets. You never see a wealthy boxer with a 'poor' manager..and they do their job well, but how much of that 20% will go to Whyte? Who knows what percentage it is after he pays his corner. For Eddie Hearn to start 'threatening' the rematch clause is a cheap move, imo, too. I think this will be a very good fight, and I'm as certain as one can be that Tyson will win it, but theres always a chance.I think Dillian is chomping at the bit wanting it and his corner is delaying it.

I understand Whytes side, because 80/20 is a insult

Mandatory fight between Klitschko and Fury was ordered at 80/20.

Mandatory fight between Joshua and Usyk was ordered at 80/20.

Fury makes 15x more than Whyte. Why is 80/20 an insult?

[bullydean]

"We're fine if it goes to 80-20"

So they're openly admitting to slowing down undisputed and trying to cash out Whyte.

[M312]

Good for them standing up for what them believe in. Too many people would've folded just to stay on Mauricios good side (so they don't get screwed again)

Tear the WBC down.

Their made up rules need to stop.

2.17 Division of Proceeds in a Purse Offer. The net purse offer (after deduction of all sanction fees payable to the WBC hereunder) shall be divided as follows: (a) 70% for the champion and 30% for the challenger in title bouts; and (b) 50% to each contender in the case of vacant titles or elimination bouts; provided, however, that the WBC Board of Governors may by a majority vote, modify the division of purse offer proceeds between boxers in a purse offer in unusual or special cases, such as consideration of outstanding marketing value of one of the boxers, as the WBC shall determine in its sole discretion. The modification of the split shall be limited to 60- 40% and 55-45%, except in the most exceptional circumstances, in which the split may be modified to 50-50%.

[James Hunt]

WBC's been showing naive idiots Whyte and Hearn who they are for a very long time, and those two clowns finally started believing them.
WBC only got what they were asking for.

[BigDramaShow!]

Give him 30 - 35%. If he balks, F his punch drunk PED ass

How ironic considering Tyson “Nandrolone”Fury was banned for almost 2 years for getting caught juicing with PEDs
