Comments Thread For: Fury-Whyte: WBC Purse Bid Once Again Postponed Per Request From Both Camps

[STREET CLEANER]

Both camps asked for the postponement, obviously they are working on something. It is better that they don't negotiate via the media like Bob likes.

How about postpone the fight till the outcome of the arbitration? Free up Fury so he can fight someone and stay active.

Well Whyte would object to that. He's the mandatory with the WBC.

Fury could just go and fight without representing the WBC but I don't think the org would be too happy about that.

Let's just see if 'final' means 'final' this time. In a few days we should know what's happening.

They are postponing this one to see what its gonna cost AJ to step aside or that's my thought anyway

[Monty Fisto]

Fury doesn't want to fight Whyte. There can be no question about that now, given Fury is complaining that Joshua and Hearn are not taking step-aside money so that he can fight Usyk, which would automatically bump Whyte out of the picture for the time being.

Obvious as in if TR was sticking to 20% then thered be no reason for multiple postponements for the bid. The last 2 were requested by both sides which should tell everyone that they are negotiating.

I could of swore they wanted it postponing in order to sort out a deal to have step asides arranged and all parties satisfied, so we can get undisputed now. But maybe I’m wrong.

From their statement it says this is the final extension and that if no agreement then a purse bid happens Friday.
We’ll see if they actually stick to that.

Would rather have undisputed but that probably mean a rematch clause in the undisputed fight.

If this ever goes ahead i think the pressers will be far more entertaining than the actual fight.

If Joshua wouldn't feel confident fighting Whyte, he should forget about the winner of Fury vs. Usyk, and target Deontay Wilder! Lol!

If Joshua takes the step aside then i firmly believe Joshua has accepted his limited boxing abilities at the elite level, (fury/usyk), and is maximising his income through this last phase of his career. Whyte is a big fight, and is a winnable fight.... Wilder in my opinion sparks out everyone in the division bar fury and usyk, and thats coming from someone who absolutely couldnt stand the guy, Joshua would be crazy to ever fight Wilder unless its a cash out.

Arbitration is just about done so you’re going to free up Fury as if though he’ll be free to be fighting this weekend ? Theres literally nothing postponing Fury at the moment if he’s not fighting late March/ April anyway and he actually did it himself with the 80/20 split thrown out there first which got the arbitration extended ? Come on make it make sense .
