Comments Thread For: Fury vs. Whyte: Frank Warren Wins Purse Bid With Record $41,025,000

Great fight!! i could personally care less about the money. LETS GET IT ON

If they can recupperate more than they bid then yea. Thats a lot of money.

This could be Tyson's toughest fight since Wlad

This is a joke right? Wallin would have a live shot vs Whyte. 50-50 fight. Wilder would absolutely destroy him. It would like Breazeale or Stiverne 2. Whyte is a chinny punching bag.

Will be a great fun promotion and maybe a bit of swinging at the press conference .Hearn for all of his big demands is out of this promotion that should be a good fight and money earner for all involved.

So does the 8 million mean less if it’s in the U.K ?

Imagine Whyte rejects it? Could happen IMO.

I doubt he will. I can't believe Hearn would take the trouble to make a $30+ million bid without first checking with Whyte what his minimum earnings figure for the fight is.
Secondly he'd be an idiot to reject this amount - it'll set him up for life even if he loses.
Thirdly - if he does reject it he'll be frozen out of boxing after Eddy drops him like a hot coal.

Hearn must be fuming! Lmao!

Whyte is KOing fury out cold though

Hearn said he probably wasn’t going to win purse bids and only bid what the fight is worth . He’s not willing to lose money on Fury .

Glad that parts over with. Even better that that queen/tr forked up a sh.it ton. 8 mill aint nothin to sniff at for Whyte. Hes hot a hood shot of beating Fury.

he went through the wringer with Wilder in first and third fights - the Wlad fight was so easy in comparison.

He rejected a similar offer to rematch Joshua…

Hearn would happily continue to work with Whyte, he probably wants him to pull out. He’s the guy being frozen out by Frank in this scenario and that will be eating away at him.
