Comments Thread For: Arum: Whyte Won't Attend Press Conference With Fury Because We Wouldn't Give Upside

[LAchargers373]

Petty by both they should’ve added a backend to whyte even a small one his presence would sell a lot more

[Shadoww702]

purse bids do not take "promotion" into account, and Whyte technically is not required to participate

but theres a flip side to that coin. In a purse bid situation, Bob is not required to comp any tickets to Whyte, so he should expect to pay full price for whatever tickets he needs, and likely wont have access to any tickets within the first 30 rows. He also will likely be denied the usual accommodations (several suites) at the host hotel, which is arranged by the promoter. He will likely be given standard rooms at a different property, and will have to upgrade on his own dime.


Whyte is being very petty and short sighted here.

Nice... Makes sense

Who would have been responsible for White’s travel arrangements had he decided to attend? $7 million purse with no PPV upside after taxes and fees White’s is $2-2.5m.

All for boosting marketability and PPV revenue for Fury but White’s ain’t becoming a star and likely has 1-2 fights left if he doesn’t retire after Fury…unless he wins

Ticket prices don’t exactly effect any millionaire’s .


Whyte is a very secluded person ,he prefers solo trailers like mini home type stuff that he used in the Povetkin fights so hotel accommodations won’t effect him at all ,not sure they will be in hotels with any Covid restrictions ? Don’t really matter the only one this hurts is whoever’s promotion it is .

If whyte ain't getting any upside from the ppv why the **** should he sell it his moneys In escro all he's gotta do is train and turn up fight week.

[seconds out]

Training for the biggest fight of his life in closed camp in Portugal. Would have to get on a plane. Risk covid and disrupt his training schedule. Understandable when no upside

[sicko]

Fury can carry and Presser by himself, give him the Mic and let him tear Dillian Whyte, Eddie Hearn and AJ apart Verbally and people will love it

[The Old LefHook]

It will be the last big money halfwit Whyte will ever make in boxing.

[Rodbox]

Big mistake not having Whyte there he’s great at selling fights. We are now going to see how big Tyson Fury really is on the UK he has never previously been a big ticket seller or PPV attraction in the UK

[Corelone]

Whyte's ears are going to start burning after a while. He'll talk when Fury roasts him over the hot coals. The laughter will draw him out. Whyte's pride won't bear the ridicule without retort.
