Comments Thread For: Fury-Whyte: WBC Sets February 21 Deadline For Both To Submit Signed Contracts For Title Fight

I think that's more than fair enough. He's been going on about his number 1 spot with the WBC for years, been complaining and campaigning for years to get his deserved shot. He's gone through the 25% and 20% offers and has ended up with a good deal which if he wins goes to over £11 million.

If he fkks it off now after all that he is going to become a massive joke within the sport and I think you will struggle to find many that will defend him for it.

You won’t believe I’m genuine here, but Thankyou for this post. Atleast you have some decency to write that. So you’ve proven I’m wrong about you in many aspect I thought you was like.

The WBC are desperate for Dillian to not fight the split. They're trying to force Dillian to sign before the abritration is complete.

Bob was worried about the arbitration too and in his recent interview alluded to offering more money.

A lot of panicked people. I sense the arbitration is leaning towards a closer split.

I want to see the fight right now, but I also want to see the WBC be screwed with their snivelling ways.

Keep fighting Dillian. As much as I love boxing, the bigger fight here is with the WBC, they are killing the sport and Dillian winning the abritration goes a huge way to at least make the dirty WBC think twice.

But that’s not the point is it? We have to deal with the situation as it stands now. We have finally gotten to a point where all parties had implied pre fight that they’d be happy with!

The hypothetical becomes reality and has become a farce! If this fight falls through over Dillian dragging his feet than it’s an insult to we the boxing fan!

If Whyte pulls out TRUE boxing Fans will boycott him and pay no interest in his future fights. Maybe a fight with AJ would have some intrigued enough to watch! Besides from that he will and should be an outcast and ruin his career!

whyte demanded £10M. Now he has that opportunity. So no issue. Or is this another one of those moments like the whole AJ £50M offer demand to fight wilder? We know how that ended.

When usyk was set to receive 20% of the Joshua fight you didn’t complain one time. Wish to explain why that is?

are you gonna tell me whyte is more deserving? An interim champ is more worthy than a undisputed champ?

Yes, Whyte really has nowhere else to go now other than in the ring with Fury.

Whyte’s share of the purse is $8.2m..how did you come up with the potential £11m potential out of interest?

It’s a tough one because Whyte’s issue has always been the split, and in my mind he’s entitled to challenge it if he wants..I t’s his health and career on the line. His case hasn’t even reached arbitration and all of a sudden he should now accept whatever he’s being offered without having his day in court, all because he has been kept waiting years, ironically because of the WBC’s actions that he is now suing them for? How does that make sense?

I’d totally agree your sentiment if an arbitration court rules against him and then he pulled out of the fight, but let’s afford him his due process before we start pre-judging what he’ll do. He shouldn’t be forced to accept anything without the court reaching its decision first and foremost.

You are very welcome. I know which side of the fence I seem to fall on alot of the times but I will always draw a line in the sand. I also know we disagree on a lot of things and get a bit fruity with each other but I do enjoy your posts. As they say "bants innit"

What's not the point?

He's still got 20% of the purse. If he thinks that's not his value, than he has the right to appeal.

The WBC should be a body which isn't influenced, paid off or have a personal dislike/bias towards a boxer. Unfortunately that seems to be clearly not the case, here and in other cases.

They will think twice if they lose the abritration.

I understand that you just want to see the fight, me too, I'm torn on it. But we should all keep fighting the WBC. And by saying he shouldn't fight them, that's exactly what you're doing.

I come across a Pr!ck at times, I’m not blind I see that. And I do get ****** into debates, but that what I just posted to you I genuinely meant. I don’t have anything personal against anybody on here on a real level with you. Hope you enjoy rest of your night whatever your doing. I appreciate the response mate.

The 11 million is based on the 4 million winning bonus that Morris Sillyman said was on the table for the Victor.

And yes I do mean him walking away post arbitration, he is entitled to argue for what ever he likes but $8 million and the title fight seems like a very good offer to me. If that is the best he is going to get, after all he has said and done over the last few years and he walks away from it then he's a fkking idiot.

Unless ofcourse there is some crazy goings on in the contract we don't know about but my gut feeling is there isn't.

[Rodbox]

Non story as Tyson Fury also has to sign the contract and let’s be honest he’s the most unreliable boxer on the planet including pulling out of a fight after the weigh in !! Everyone needs to remember the author of this piece is Keith Idec the well known stooge/puppy of Top Rank and neighbour of that ***** looking Carl Moretti

[Boxingkeen]

That 80-20 split is so disrespectful
