    He will sign, at the last day.

    Dillian is pushing to improve his position, and keeping quiet to help matters. Following lawyers advice.

      I think he will at the very last minute. It'd be ****** not to, I'm not sure how his reputation recovers if he doesn't.

      What do you think and where does he go if he ducks?
      - - Y U no axked him?

        What seems to be the case is that the WBC and Top Rank do not want the Arbitration to happen, so will do whatever they can to stop it from happening.

        On the other hand Dillian will want the Arbitration to happen as he has nothing to lose. The % won't go below 20%.

        It's a messy situation that just could've/should've been avoided with a normal split.
        I’m not sure what interview it was but Warren said Fury wasn’t going to fight Whyte if he wasn’t getting 80/20 split . Should arbitration change the splits then maybe it’s Fury we should all be worried about and not Whyte . Posters can say what they like but Fury never was in a rush to fight him and fighters behind the scenes usually know why they don’t like certain match ups , for me the demand fir 80 tells me a lot and that’s Fury does care a lot about money and he’s not the confident guy on social media he knows he’s going in a war .

          If abritration changes the splits, can Top Rank/Queensbury even be able to afford the event?

          The whole thing is a cluster****.

          It'll probably end up costing Top Rank more than if it was 35% and they just got on with it at a lower purse.

          They will really not want this abritration to happen.

            That’s another reason hopefully Whyte just signs it either way had DAZN won purse bids I don’t believe Fury takes the fight . What it comes down to is Furys insistence of an unfair split ,I don’t actually believe he would be to down if the fight doesn’t happen I think he would avoid a very difficult fight and get a huge pass and move on to a far easier fight for himself but less money , Whyte is the fight he can really generate a huge profit but that comes with bigger risks .

            It’s just he positioned himself in a win /win situation, either he doesn’t fight Whyte or he does but takes an unfair percentage for himself ,he was definitely willing to fight in a non title fight next which shows he doesn’t actually care if the fight happens and oddly enough I think most of his supporters on here would like that . The Whyte haters are another type of bizarre where they think Whyte getting more then 20. % effects their own bank account ,the forum is probably the most out of touch boxing place I’ve seen .

              Yeah, no idea why people begrudge Whyte having a normal split of the purse. He's clearly a huge fight for Fury. They wouldn't have bid such a huge amount and be planning to put it in Wembley if not.

              Oh well, let's see what happens, but this split situation has made it unnecessarily more difficult to make, and just born out of greed.

                It’s a pure form of ignorance on and off the forum ,the fight would’ve be real easy to make even at 25% but you have very weird people on here that don’t even question the split which made it difficult in the first place . What’s weirder is if or should Fury fight someone other then Whyte it’s not as compelling or competitive but they will like it anyway,just a strange forum really concerning who they like not really being boxing fans to spite another fighter that doesn’t know who they are .

                  I don't think it'll work but it is probably his best hope.
                  I have mentioned this in another thread, Whyte needs to go all out 'Push Fury at the very first opportunity, have a jostle if necessary'.

                  Complete and utter warfare.

                  Tyson Fury is the favorite, all the pressure is on him. The only pressure Whyte has, is the pressure he is putting on himself.

Whyte has sold out the O2 and done 400k ppv while Fury sold 3900 tickets before Wilder so he isn't really this paying public favorite like Joshua and Canelo. See how this plays out but 80-20 is ridiculous. Fury does Shawn Porter-type family diner numbers.
                    Here's a chart of the last 6 Whyte PPV buy rates:

                    1 = Joshua
                    2 = Parker
                    3 = Chisora 2
                    4 = Rivas
                    5 = Povetkin
                    6 = Povetkin 2

                    whyte ppv.JPG

                    The public has apparently grown tired of him. He's not pulling in many eyeballs.

                      That literally reflects the order of relevance of this fights
