    So we should just accept this and let them continue to destroy the sport?

    It's nonsense. Dillian should fight what he thinks is right.

    If he loses, so be it. The WBC can do what they want... But if he wins... The WBC will need to be 'less corrupt' going forward. We all want that... Right?

      I’d have no problem with it being 70-30, I don’t really care about the split. It’s immaterial, the WBC have ordered 80-20, it is what it is. So Whyte (who’s cried about wanting a WBC title shot for years) either wants the shot or he doesn’t. He evidently doesn’t. Whyte rejected millions to fight AJ too, he’s already set the precedent for this kind of sh**.
      Listen, if the rules were 80/20 split, fair play, I don't care what they decide as long as they fight - But they're not, and this fight is not exceptional in being one that breaks the rules. It's obvious and evident that the ruling is based on personal matters.

      If it was you, you would just accept it? I think not.

      Support the fight and stop the WBC.

        Besides the one 'which allows for a 55/45 split between its world champion and interim titlist though
        Go look at the current WBC rules and regulations, published December 13, 2011.

        There is absolutely no mention whatsoever of interim champions being entitled to 45%.

          Only a matter of time before this WBC troll showed up.

          'The modification of the split of the remainder 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% at the WBC's sole discretion. [from 70/30]'

            Yes, if you're going to use rule 2.16 modify in favor of the challenger, those are the allowed splits.

            But if you're going to modify in favor of the champion, you use rule 2.6, which allows any split the WBC decides on.

            You posted false information that interim champions are entitled to 45%. That's not true. The current rules don't say that as well.

              Don’t care if he accepts the 20% or doesn’t. If he accepts, I’ll watch him challenge for the title. If he refuses I’ll watch him fight someone else for less. It’s all the same to me but if I were him I’d take the money and the opportunity.

              Not saying I would not at least try to get more but no way I’m passing on the fight.

                Matchrooms fanboys can cry all they want. Dillian is getting 20% and he's lucky to get getting that.

                  A "fighter", and his fans, cry about the payday when he has the opportunity to fight for a World title. Those same fans also excuse said "fighter", from previous occasions, when he REJECTED title shots because the "money wasn't right." I remember the days when a fighter's goal was to win a World title and the money that would come with it. Nowadays we have groupies claiming these "fighters" deserve a payday without even winning a title. A "well-deserved title shot payday." Odd times. Odd Rematchroom times.

                    Fury got 20% when he faced Klitschko, it is what it is.

                    This clown Whyte wants 45%?

                    Ex-champion Deontay Wilder only got 40% ffs.

                      The 24 hour deadline was c&p'd from Hearn's 12.5 million offer, which included the same 24 hour deadline. Wilder's team included it in their offer as a **** you to Hearn. Nobody takes those deadlines seriously and Hearn admitted he was still in talks weeks later about the fight, so you can't blame the deadline for the fight not happening when Hearn himself admitted the offer was still on the table weeks later.

                      Wilder's offer also included a three page attachment with all of the major terms laid out. So that's another bogus excuse.

                      And nobody sends a longform contract if the major deal points aren't agreed to yet. Stop being silly.
