When I saw the title, I imagined him taking a check from Arum and then walking a few steps and turning the check over to Sulaiman. Good for Frank tho, everyone needs their moment of glory.

If Whyte didn't get KOd by Povetkin, maybe he'd have a claim to increase the split in his favor due to the long time he had waited for his shot. But getting KOd and then avenging his KO in a fight with post COVID Povetkin didn't help... He should take the fight - otherwise his future becomes very unclear. The only hail mary for him would be a Wilder fight - and that's very unlikely, and won't bring the same money anyway.RoadMan94 likes this.

Lol at Frank saying Whyte was only worth 20% because he wasn't a draw and then paying a fortune for the fight.
I think they are scared and want to make sure everything goes in Fury's favor. Fury is going to get beat whatever. Guy has fought one top-20 fighter in six years. And his third best win is still Derek Chisora. Whyte has been fighting top-10 fighters almost every fight. Time for Fury's luck to run out.
I remember before AJ fought Whyte - Fury was saying Whyte would beat AJ because he was a "real fighter" (this was after Fury and Whyte had been sparring). Probably why Fury ran from the previous fight he promised Whyte....Stuart Chandler likes this.

If baseball season is delayed, this will do much better in US because of less sports competition and more bandwidth to promote

Whyte is a old war horse his best chance is to knock him out early . I'm surprised wilder didn't go this route . I mean he was swinging for the fences but he took a more subtle approach in the beginning . plus whyte is more versatile and fury won't be just looking for a big right hand all night .
