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

They'd be mental to do so, first bookies I looked at had Whyte listed as 7-2

Okay I’ll pay $80 vs $20. 4-1

[FaustoGeraci]

Why would anyone take 2/1 odds when they can 7/2 wit the bookies?

If Fury fights Whyte like he did against Klitschko then it will be easy night's work but if he fights him like he did against Wilder it will be a 50/50 fight.

Fury can fight on a 2 week camp and it won’t be 50-50. I’ll bet $80 vs $20

I think Fury will win but crazy not to lay something with those bookie odds on Whyte . Also betting money with Fury fans is something I wouldn’t do anyway .

How does the purse bid work, is it a straight 80-20 of the winning bid to each of the fighters?

If that's the case, there's not much of an incentive to try and sell the fight if you're Whyte

Dillian Whyte has forced Arum and Warren to pay up. Fury should be thanking him for making this go to purse bids. I can't see Top Rank breaking even unless it does 1 million plus PPV. Principality Stadium will bring in 17 million max and PPVS 25 million, possibly.
If DW wins the arbitration case its likely he'll be awarded an extra 10% of the bid.

I’m a fan of making money. I don’t know Fury personally. I’ll do 4-1 with you or anybody. If no one steps up that’s fine. Bet with the bookies. This will be a domination by Fury. It will not be close. Whyte got knocked out stiff by a shot Povetkin, went life and death with Chisora, got saved vs Parker, crushed vs Joshua, sc****d by Rivas. He’s a journeyman. If he was American nobody would give a damn about him.

Both fighters should be happy with those figures .

You'd think they'd be ecstatic, wouldn't you?!!

Not sure Whyte being ecstatic but it’s a fair amount . A win gets him much more after . If either fighter doesn’t take it ,it’s a duck .

Boxing fans couldn't care less about Whyte fighting Fury. A ppv fight on top of that; the ppv buys will be low. A $41,000,000.00 purse for Fury vs Whyte is outrageous.

Truth is, people are jealous that a fat bald white guy destroyed the black hw champion 3 times. They will pick any black guy against Fury.
