Comments Thread For: Arum: If Whyte Doesn't Fight, We'll Get Decent Opponent For Tyson Fury

[Shadoww702]

How does. It work if a deal cant be reached? Whyte turns down and loses his mando position, right?

If it goes purse and dazn wins and fury backs out he gets stripped of title?

Yes if he don't take the 80/20 he loses his WBC Ranking.

Does Arum knows that there is a better life after this one? ntramzaid@hotmail.com

No you won't

Helenius would be a mismatch, Charr would be a disgrace. If not Whyte, then at the very least, a rematch with Braun Strowman. Nash out.

I second the Strowman rematch. Fury landed a lucky punch and I believe Strowman has his number in the remtach

Hearn 'says' (ok promoter talk) Whyte will take 20% if that's the WBC decision (if Whyte didn't take it you'd expect him to lose his mandatory status but this the WBCso anything could happen) , he'll then make more money from a purse bid (if Hearn can win the purse bid he has the option to supplement Whytes earnings outside the split) ...

If it goes to purse bid (Fury should earn more than the existing offer) , if Hearn or other non ESPN win and Arum talks Fury out if it he'll be stripped ...
however it's Fury's last fight on his contract with Bob so is Arum willing to offer a massive new contract or you suspect Fury will go with the money.

There is no doubt we need closure. Especially after the fight Strowman got back in there and showed Fury who was boss. It's a 50-50 fight. The kind we need made. Nash out.

Calling it like it is. You cannot cite Manuel Charr as an option and win an argument

[tokon]

If these sanctioning bodies can make the champion get a lesser % than the challenger (herring-stevenson) based on previous purses then it's likely that Whyte is only gonna get 20%!

[diarraisagod]

It's gonna be crazy if this fight doesn't get made

The alternative for both men is a worse opponent and significantly smaller purse
I just don't think Fury will want to settle for a Charr or Helenius fight that nobody cares about. Or Whyte letting his incredibly long awaited title shot slip away. It's a big fight in the UK, a very lucrative fight, they'll figure it out

[Kesslerfan#1]

he needs a warm up fight regardless to fight the winner of Joshua and Usyk...theres really not a lot out there and he wont fight Parker...perhaps Hrgovic might create some interest who knows? Sanchez or Hunter??? its really not Furys fault theres not an interim fight with a lot of interest.
