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

[Inspired]

Why's this fat ***ish 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.

yeh eddie said the same
pretty much 'their attitude makes me not want to do them any favours'
why would otto wallin sign with that guy anyway?

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.

as the US declines even further they embrace a POS thug like dillian "aint" whyte. if they fight I hope Fury beats him where he can barely talk. I am sick of this guy

The Whyte fight is assumed to be in the UK so Whytes exposure in the US is irrelevant (if it was in the US you'ed have a point) .

Saying Fury would now sell more ppvs having not fought in the UK in years is a stretch.

Basically, its clear Whyte brings almost 50% of the revenue in the UK (I'm not saying he should get 50% or close but he is selling a lot of tickets and ppvs).

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 .

Too many boxers that think they are entitled to title shots or eliminators these days, Luis Ortiz being a prime example along with Walkin

The problem here is Whyte thinks he's a big player , he's beaten no elite fighters and was sparked out only two fights back .His best win was over average Joe Parker who had him out on his feet at the final bell. Against Tyson 20% is a lot of money and a win would put him in the big time but he obviously knows the likely result already.'Rematchroom' and Whyte just hold up boxing!

Especially a guy who wasn't on anyone's radar and was ranked around 50 until Fury went around digging graves to find him. Wallin just ruined his chances of making decent money.

The promoter and Wallin are birds of a feather and it's understandable why he would sign with him.

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

The same thing the price of flour has got to do with the price of bread.

No, mate. Your overall comment was sound -- Salita shouldn't be getting involved in this and saying Salita and Wallin deserve to be treated according to their past behaviour. That is all reasonable. Whether he is or isn't fat or ***ish is irrelevant though. Totally irrelevant. It reflects poorly on you and I suspect you know better.

Wallin over here as.s hurt and hatin......get over it
