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

[Knuckle sandwich]

This is relatively easy work for Fury. IMHO, Whyte should have lost to Rivas (plus he popped hot). He also headbutted Parker to the ground (it was scored a knockdown) that lead to a decision win I also feel he should have lost. He got KTFO by Povetkin and he eked out a win vs Chisora in their rematch with a very late KO punch.

Unless Fury comes in disastrously overweight or hungover, there's no way this fight is even competitive. For the record, I don't really care for Fury (Wilder is my guy) but I just don't see Whyte having a sniff at victory here.

I think you have made the correct prediction, he will be badly hungover and around I'd say 27 stone.... For Americans thats around a ton in weight

Don't think that will sell well in the US. Fury is not popular and nobody other than hardcore fight fans know Whyte plus at what time the main even will be with the time zones.

Best available fight out there for Fury since he can get Usyk or even AJ but it is not a mega fight out of the UK. Whyte will gas out like in 4 rounds and will do a John Ruiz impression after that.

Ok now time for everyone to quit crying and hating and enjoy a HW fight. It is not our main choice but all we have.

Redumber making a fool out of himself as usual!!

Fury is going to beat Whyte to within an inch of his life, face jabbed to bits.

Fury via KO

The guy is hilarious. Do people take him seriously on here or does everyone laugh at him? He is bringing up a Klitschko rematch in regards to Fury’s current drawing power, and claiming Whyte is a harder fight than Wlad and Wilder…

Whyte should take the fight and accept the money, it's good money.

Of course, Fury gets a huge payday, but I mean, he beat Wilder and Wladimir, pretty decent wins. Whyte might never get a title shot if he doesn't take this opportunity.

Then his only chance at a title shot would be if Joshua was champion again. AJ already beat Whyte before, so we have seen that fight, albeit then not a world title fight at the time.

No one actually cares much for Fury though and himself had never sold on his own ? So you are contradicting statements here . Whyte is enabling the huge purse bids because they know he sells and with Fury as a dance partner will do huge numbers in the U.K .

Beyond that Fury defeating Wilder 3 times means nothing against an aggressive guy coming at him ,we all saw what happens when you do that via Wallin who was robbed of a win under an Arum card . Brushing off Whyte as an easy fight is not realistic.

Oh, do stop it. Wallin was not 'robbed'. Cuts stoppages happen if they are preventing the fighter competing or seem like they might be permanently debilitating. Given that Fury won convincingly and has never been cut since neither applies, does it?

Fury used steroids to beat Vlad and ran away for three years when he was contractually obligated to rematch him .

The cut was the worse I’ve seen and would’ve been stopped on any other promotion.

So what? It would have been the wrong decision- Fury obviously beat him and the cut hasn't reopened.

Fury’s not a proven draw ,Whyte is .

Klitschko didn’t throw any punches and if I’m not mistaken that fight is viewed as the worst heavyweight title fight in history ?

You’re in for a big shock if you think Whyte is just going to look at Fury for 12 rounds like Klitschko did and if you are I’d lower the bravado down a little of betting everyone if that’s what you are counting on .
