Why have Eddie Hearns and Dilyon Whyte gone MIA?

[QueensburyRules]

Question for the Hearniacs and Rematchroom fans. Where is Eddie? He seems to have evaporated since the purse bid for Fury-Whyte. Haven't heard a peep out of him since, none of his usual 40-50 minute long, "RAW", "BRUTALLY HONEST" iFL interviews? He normally does 2-3 per week at least, but not one since the purse bids... don't think he has gone MIA like this since Andy Ruiz Jr. landed a "punch from the Gods!!" Oh wait, he might have been MIA like this when Povetkin landed "the only punch that possibly could have knocked Dillian out that night!!!" Any news on the g****vine?

Gotta click on the Hearn thread though

I enjoy mocking the Matchroom FC morons. Their responses are usually golden.

[REDEEMER]

Because they still have outstanding legal issues pending with the WBC.

They don’t want to promote the fight either why should they it’s not theirs to promote,Fury wanted the lions share and under pay his rival who sells . I would just let him scream all he wants on social media he should have realized you don’t manipulate rules .

Let’s just hope Fury takes the fight if they see it’s not selling well if that happens , I do know Furys getting a part of PPVs so he needs Whyte to be his tag team partner ,it’s not Whytes job to help sell this one and the arbitration thing is in itself just bad business where team Furys that greedy ,I’m not even sure Usyks guys will do business with Fury if it surfaces now they see what goes on stating Fury is a problem to work with . And those guys are just straight up no nonsense guys

Contract and legal talk probably. The higher powers probably told Hearn to shut his mouth to avoid jeopardizing anything

I'm just speculating with a little bit of logic of course lol

From Hearn's comments in the other thread, they're letting Fury do all the talking and Bob/Frank the promoting but I agree with those who think the legal **** might have something to do with it.

Either way, as long as the fight takes place I'm good.

ARBITRATION

It is still ongoing and if it goes in Whyte favor, then he'll be entitled to 45%, which will change what Tyson Fury receives. Queenbury/Top Rank negotiated Fury fee prior to the purse bid, this ensured their side the flexibility to bid such a high amount because 29 million isn't really going to Fury.

Whyte winning the arbitration will throw a monkey wrench in Fury purse and one of two things will happen.


1. Fury may decline to fight under the new term (highly unlikely)

2. Queenbury/Top Rank may not be willing to take that financial hit now that Whyte is taking a larger chunk of the purse & could default, leaving the promotional right to the 2nd highest bidder -- Matchroom.

Not that any of us is getting anything out of this or should care, but I do not think that is how it goes.

Warren bid for the purse based on the condition WBC laid out.

1. If anything in the terms and conditions change, it will be WBC's responsibility. They might cancel this and call for fresh bids or ask them to enter fresh negotiations.
2. Before the arbitration happens, Whyte has a deadline of Feb 21 to accept or decline. In case he declines, WBC may allow Fury to take an interim fight "while the arbitration plays out". What happens later will depend on the situation at that time, including a "unification supercedes mandatory" possibility.

The only change I see is if the arbitration outcome comes out prior to Feb 21 (or WBC extends that deadline).

They finally got the title shot they've been crying for years about.

They're just mad that they didn't get to break the bank for it like they wanted.

$8m is breaking the bank though? Considering Whyte's highest payday is $450,000 ish? And if Whyte and Hearns believe in themselves, there will be potentially bigger paydays beyond this fight with Fury? Were they expecting a bigger split and a guaranteed rematch clause? Meaning $10m+ for each fight? $20m+? But now they have $8m and no rematch clause?! Haha!

The greedy cvnts wanted more than that, they were expecting a bigger split.
