Haha. That made me laugh. I do wonder how much of this was Queensbury money and how much was Top Rank and ESPN. The numbers seem disproportionate for this fight, can it make money especially in the era of covid? I can't see where it would be a PPV in the US with less than ideal time slot.

[Robbie Barrett]

VERY likely this fight loses money. Should have gave Whyte a better split and got Fury a rematch clause. If Whyte wins, they lose the belt and there's no rematch, he loses money too. Grade A stupidity.

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Absolutely insane. Fury probably has just 2 fights after this in him tops. How is anyone besides fury and his camp making money?

[ShoulderRoll]

If they stack the PPV it can sell decently in the US with ESPN promoting it hard.

And between Bob Arum and Frank Warren there are plenty of interesting fighters they could put on the card.

Finally!!!!!!!!! Least it didn't take 2 years like third wilder fight

[Sosay]

I really don't care as long as they're fighting but does this mean the split is agreed to? Or, are we worried about this not getting done still.

I’m glad this fight got signed. Good pay day for Fury & not bad for Whyte either. I’m glad Whyte is getting his shot. Joshua can rematch Usyk & winners for all the belts in December!!!!!!!
