Comments Thread For: Wallin's Promoter: Fury is a Star, 80-20 is a Fair Split For Whyte, It Sounds Right

[REDEEMER]

This is interesting, Whyte has sold more PPV,s than Fury and from a single fight was in a fight that sold more than any Fury PPV.

45% is asking too much (in my opinion) but 20 is too low, 35% is good, 30 at a push.

Whytes doing it in non title fights to , Fury had a huge advantage fighting fir the WBC title ,and was the champion once against Wilder to show his current value himself and still is not anyone to claim 80/20 is fair .

The issue is not how many ppv Whyte sold. The issue is, how much he got paid, as in, previous earnings. Eddy was keeping him hungry.

Fury vs Wladmir Klitschko - 600k ppv buys
Fury vs Wilder 1 - 450k ppv buys
Fury vs Wilder 2 - 300k ppv buys
Fury vs Wilder 3 - 300k ppv buys

Whyte vs AJ - 670k ppv buys
Whyte vs Parker - 571k ppv buys
Whyte vs Chisora 2 - 532k ppv buys
Whyte vs Rivas - 368k ppv buys

yeh he gets espn money, but whyte also gets dazn money. Fury is the bigger name, don't get me wrong, but Whyte is not exactly small time. Fury has already maxed out his exposure in the US.

Fury vs Wilder did less than 150k PPV buys. So did Fury vs Wilder 3.

Why's this fat ------- guy getting himself involved in this?

He and Wallin's actions would be the reason why no reasonable person would want to give Wallin a shot again. This guy is worse than what Hearn used to be and it affected his relationships in the industry.

Wallin was a voluntary and he shouldn't be this entitled.

What's his religion got to do with the price of bread?

The answer to that is "ignorance" emboldened by the fact the author wrote it from a keyboard in mum's basement. Very safe down there in the basement and easy to hurl insults and slurs.

Otto Walk-In’s promoter needs to get his boxer a ranking by getting some meaningful fights instead of commenting on Fury-Whyte purse splits

The only remotely fair comparison there is the Wlad fight, Because it was primetime in the UK and not at 4 in the morning. 600k and Fury is a far far bigger name now than then. Fights in the USA generally sell much less PPV’s in the UK because of the time of the.

We can’t even say Klitschko was the draw because his 2 flights before that were free on Eurosport, watched by nobody.

Fury today in the UK would shift a lot of PPV’s.

Dillian Whyte fighting in the USA would sell about 25k PPV’s at 4am UK time

It will be over a year since Wallin boxed once he gets another fight . He wasted an entire camp and should have fought Babic for less money it was offered to him as a replacement which would have been an easy win . These guys heads get to big and now he’s inactive and could have grown his profile more instead of whimpering about a voluntary fight he was offered .

Wallin needs a major W in the ring. Until then - background noise

im responding to people who diss whyte saying 'FURY IS A SUPERSTAR and whyte is a no one'
fury's a bigger name, better etc, but he is not 4x what whyte is. Remember we're comparing fury's biggest fight possible in the US, to Whyte vs a guy most american boxing fans don't even know exists.

the fact is wbc purse splits are 70-30...and it will move to 50-50 if the challenger has the higher commercial value.


Still, the argument that it's because it's 5am in the uk, so less people would watch...
come on man..
floyd mayweather vs ricky hatton did 900k ppv buys..and you know that was during a resession when british boxing was dead.

think of the amounttttttt of sh** fury has had to do. he's been in every nook and cranny, every toilet cubicle, popping his head under doors 'amama da lineal' 'god derpeded to me'
the james corden of boxing. been every nationality possible for espn..and still he gets 300k vs wilder.
