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

[Kzbox]

What a ****head Whyte is only letting down the fans think Fury gives a **** if he turns up or not? acting like a big spoilt baby the dude is getting paid what 8 million for an hour of his life.. pay me 1 million and i would step in the ring for an hour too. I'm sick of all these overpaid spoilt boxers turning more into soccer players these days with their diva behaviors. **** Whyte hope he gets beaten around the ring and goes away for good.

It would have been hilarious if both attended the PCs but I understand Whyte’s position as the only extra money he will get is if he beats Fury. That 4 million is a nice added bonus so I would spend the extra time training instead of flying around promoting the fight. Fury will trash him & Whyte likes to talk too but I think this time it’s better if he keeps his mouth shut, trains hard & uses Fury’s trash talk as motivation. Although Whyte & keeping his mouth shut is not his forte… look forward to this fight…

Yes it is not a good move at all. I was kind of neutral on this fight, but yes? I have always predicted that Tyson Fury will win.

But after this kind of pointless and petty move. I am thinking about backing Tyson Fury 1000%.

At the end of the day, Dillian Whyte needs to understand that he has supporters. And those supporters are the people buying the fight, and expect him to engage during the build up.

I think this a pointless move, and is a behavioral bi-product of today's culture. Even a fighter like Dillian Whyte, a self proclaimed street smart, tough guy. Is acting like a complete school boy, but it seems like all fighters are doing it these days.

Complaining on social media, petty moves, inability to confront other fighters face to face 'Instead they yabber on in social media posts'.

This is not a good move by Dillian Whyte. Again in time I will probably ease back on Whyte, but right now? I am kind of disappointed.

I wouldn't attend a press conference if I didn't have to either.

Whyte is playing the perfect mind games here. Why go to a press conference and get verbally destroyed by fury which he would have cause fury is good with his words he comes up with things quick in his mind. Instead he’s not going which is going to trigger fury and his team and eat away into his mind.

Whyte by KO.

Whyte would have helped with the ppv sales as they are both good trash talkers, but with whyte not getting a kickback from the ppv why should he bother entertaining everyone for no reason. Waste of mental energy engagin with fury, would just be putting money into Furys pocket

100% who could argue with Whyte’s reasoning on this?

I'm no one's fan. I already explained this.
But I am a fan of justice.

I didn't know you had declared this before, forgive me for not seeing it. Its just that you seem to only post regarding Tyson fury. Almost like your account was made for the sole purpose of Announcing your Hatred of the Fury family in every single thread including them.

Do you want justice for other guys too? How do you feel about Sheeraz - Skeete outcome a couple months ago? Disgusting wasn't it?

So you signed up to probably the worlds leading boxing forum even though you aren't a fan? Or am I missing something (could be likely)

Man shut up he is getting paid more than fair for what he is worth people going on as if this is an undefeated top tier fighter not a guy who got knocked out by an old povetkin 2 fights ago. Funny how any other fighter not attending press conferences would be called out for being a coward but Whyte gets a pass? he's been supposedly been waiting for this opportunity for years he should be basking in it all up in the press conferences letting the world know he's gonna punch Furys heads in and take that belt but instead he's being a meek mouse who hasn't been heard off for months,

Dumb move on his part. He is thinking in the present and not taking into consideration what having a press conference can do for his marketability in the US down the road. To each their own, but imo not the smartest of business moves.
