Comments Thread For: Arum: If Whyte Wants Fury Fight and Stops Messing Around, He Can Get a Good Payday!

[Yaconcha]

Some dumb kunt on here says whyte wants to cash out? Wtf does that mean? An 80/20 rip off means fury is cashing out and not only that, has recently indicated that he will retire. Omfg retire with only a handful of fights? One defence so far and a bunch of bums to look good against!
fack the WBC and uncle booooooob! 50/50 is equal physical risk. All the self promotion rubbish that entertain they should charge people separately and that way, we can all choose whether we wanna hear all the rap or not.
furthermore, real boxing fans will either watch it or not so I would suggest to boooooooob and the diddycoy, go fight one of them YouTube people instead.
let genuine boxers and fans alike enjoy the sport of gentlemen and have even playing field all the way.
the likes of frank fackin warren and ole bobbyboy have ruined this game.
50/50 split, fairs fair.

Whyte was widely reported as making 5.4 million dollars for Povetkin 1

Let's even say that's true. He was knocked out brutally in that fight and is now worth much less now than he was then.

Tyson made $28,000,000 for his second fight with Wilder and $30,000,000 for his third fight with Wilder. No matter how you slice it, it is reasonable to modify the split from 70/30 to 80/20 because of Tyson's huge commercial appeal.

80 /20, is a very cheeky offer

Not based on their recent earnings.

LOL the odds are gonna be ****** in this fight. I don't see whyte winning a round and he's getting knocked the **** out in 4 or 5.

Yeah they give Whyte an 18% chance of winning....

[JakeTheBoxer]

Whyte knows he has no chance, he just wants to cash out.

Whyte rejected £5m, why would he accept $5m vs the guy who they say is bigger/better than aj?

if they offered Whyte $5m and told him 'this is your 20%' guarantee minimum and the rest is contingent on ppv sales..that's a problem.
the problem here is they value this on Fury's $20m purses from espn, when this fight is a uk fight and wont do numbers in the US. Since it is based on the uk, we dont know if bt sports or tyson fury are going to generate major money, it might only do 500k ppv sales which means whyte wont get anythin gmore than the $5m.
bt sports do bad ppv numbers compared to sky. Tyson's highest ppv number in the uk on primetime sky sports box office was 600k ppv buys vs klitschko. AJ did 1.5m for the same fight. So there's no telling how well it does.
So whyte says 'give me $10m' and they say 'he wants 45%'.

then it leads to a purse bid situation where dazn want to pay more than bt/sky sports would pay..
what happens? eddie thinks 'why should we feed tyson fury 80%?'

Bob was offering Whyte 45 % then he saw a photograph of him ...
"but he said he was white "

(sorry couldn't resist)

Whyte was widely reported as making 5.4 million dollars for Povetkin 1 (take home not purse)

Honestly if no silly clauses I hope he just takes the offer but Hearn isn't behind anything, Arum can negotiate direct and make the deal direct but Hearn can say look if it comes to purse bids we'll bid x amount to keep Bob honest.

At the minute purse bids, Tyson and Whyte make the most I suspect.

If true, that figure seems far more than Whyte has been making. Obviously there's another agenda here, probably with Hearn behind it? Or as with when he was offered Joshua rematch, Whyte just doesn't want the fight?
