    Yeah it’s great money. It’s highly likely the biggest purse he’ll ever get. It’s 6m in £’s and that’s a massive amount for a fighter of Whyte’s stature.

    People need some perspective. Froch who was the A Side and had already established himself as a big star in the UK only got 8m vs Groves, Groves only got 2m. Joshua who’s 10x the star Whyte is got 10m vs Klitschko and as I said to the other guy Khan who is a way bigger star than Whyte only got 5m vs Brook the other week. Whyte and his fanbase are completely delusional if they think £6m is unfair for a guy having his first ever world title shot.

    Facts.
    The LITTLE fan base of Whyte will do anything to defend his bratty ways (like all fan boys do of their favorite fighters).

    I think Whyte is acting quite foolish in all this.

      Wikipedia is factual now? You definitely never went to University.

      Those numbers are around 13 years old. How are they relevant? That’s why they’re nonsensical. Nonsensical means impractical, meaningless etc. You clearly just didn’t understand the language I was using.

      Khan is unquestionably a far bigger name now compared to 2009. How’s that even debatable?


      I was going to respond to the Wikipedia findings also. But I was waiting for someone else to, LOL

        How does physical prime relate to marketability and drawing power you lunatic?

        You do realise Floyd Mayweather’s two biggest PPV blockbusters were at the age of 38 and 40, don’t you?

        Khan is obviously a far bigger star now than he was in 2009, as I said the figures you posted are completely irrelevant.

        Whyte isn’t anywhere near Khan’s level in terms of popularity. It’s not even close.

        dumb comparison, floyd mayweather is one of the all time greats who got better with age from all angles. he was a much smarter fighter with age, in great condition, the complete A side and owning his shows and being paid silly money. He could fight a potatoe now and it would sell 1m ppv buys.
        im on about when amir khan was on the hypetrain. he has only been seen as a joke figure in boxing and outside of boxing for years and years.

        Amir's overall more 'famous' but he isn't popular...he is hated and like i said a joke figure. known for chatting up ********, his dodgy wife, dodgy chin and skype...
        as such, it doesnt equate to ppv buys. whyte vs parker did 800k ppv buys in the uk which is better than wilder vs fury 1 btw ~(it generated more money)

        whyte fought aj too early...he def has a lot of fans interested in him but only when he fights the big fights and he has all that to come. how much will whyte vs fury do? whyte vs aj 2?

        we know that sky sports have spent a lot of money recently promoting their events in order to bring boxxer/ben shalom that exposure. as such khan has benefited. it doesnt mean 'he' is otherwise all that popular. it's just like when espn/fox spent around $20m to promote/advertise the fury vs wilder 2 fight and it did 850k ppv buys. they prob lost money on that fight aswell after the money spent.

        as an example, if i pay facebook or google for an ad and it brings in more views...yes my website(s)/business will be more popular. more people technically know my business exists, but what good is it if they just know but arent actively spending?

        btw even google trends reflect the manipulation hrough social media marketing campaigns. so if you see someone/something blowing up on google trends that's down to the money being spent on social media/google ads once again.

        look at something less prone to manipulation that reflects attitudes more accurately, in this case us british boxing fans...like say...ifl videos.
        has whyte done better or amir khan?

        time to look this up, im that confident whyte is bigger with boxing fans...
        amir khan's most popular vid has done 1.1m views...where phil le greco insulted his wife and he threw water at him...obv hat video would have received a lot of views from pakistani females aswell (the whole faryal drama)


        whyte vs chisora beef, 1.3m
        chisora throwing a table at whyte 2m
        basically whyte has far more views on his videos.

        oh and btw khan vs brook did 500k ppv buys.
