Comments Thread For: Warren: Tyson Fury is Looking To Make a Statement in Whyte Fight

[Boro]

Well not sure what Warren is talking about they have seen Fury before and his last major outing in Manchester had to cancel a scheduled Klitschko rematch due to poor ticket sales . Not sure what this would do without Fury having a belt and Whytes success over in the U.K ? Take either fighter out of the equation and they would have to scrap this event before tickets went on sale neither would sell out Wembley on their own which makes that 80/20 split look ridiculous .

Should Fury impress he can win over the U.K fans and bring him closer to A.Js solidified fanbase , if he loses it will be disastrous for him with all the hype of how easy he should defeat a far overmatched opponent that is perceived outside the U.K . Moving away from casual fans , this is Furys second most dangerous opponent in the U.K next to A.J so a loss isn’t that surprising,Whyte will turn up and Warren is going to have some nervous moments at ringside .

Whyte has nothing to do with this either he doesn't sell well himself, his only fights that have been sell outs have been against former AJ opponents or Chisora he barely got above 50% capacity against Rivas and his popularity has been trending downwards ever since the Chisora rematch.

It's a big event people just want an excuse to get píssed up that's the real truth of it and of course the rumours were the Wallin fight was cancelled due to poor sales as well so let's not pretend Fury is the only one with a fight rumour to be cancelled due to poor sales.

What was the numbers for Wallin vs Fury ? 3, 000 ? Fury was guaranteed money by ESPN Top Rank who paid him 10 million to fight Wallin let’s not talk crazy comparing Whyte opting to face Fury instead of Wallin vs Fury making money on whoever he decided to fight .

I don’t really think you read my post at all ,you did nothing but defend Fury which my post was about neither guy alone would sell out Wembley. You guys seem to not understand Whyte isn’t a champion he’s not supposed to sell out arenas or venues but his numbers have been better then Furys in spots that’s just a fact .

Frankie 5hit show Warren confuses me. He has been constantly saying this is the Fury show and Whyte isn't worth anything yet is fuming that he isn't pulling his weight and possibly damaging the pull of the event. He's also constantly made Whyte out to be a bit of a useless bum yet he is going to demand respect put on Fury for beating him.

Fury is a far superior Boxer to Whyte and Whyte should be really doing his bit to push this event but Fish eyes wants to belittle Whyte, mock him as a Boxer, run to the WBC to get his percentage dropped and then he wants him to act professionally and will demand Fury gets held as a super hero for beating him.

And if this event doesn't do as well as Frank and Bob claim its going to do it won't be because Whyte didn't turn up to 1 solitary presser it's because its a priced PPV with one of the worst undercards to a world title fight I've ever seen. If anything the controversy Whyte is displaying has made for lots and lots of media coverage in itself.

Warren's undercard has done way more damage to this event than Whyte has.

Isn't that what promoter's do.

In 5 years Whyte has boxed Chisora twice, I'll alway's believe Chis won the first fight, life & death with Parker & a lucky knockdown. Midget Rivas on peds that can only enter the system via injection, body builder Brown, Helenius, Tann & lately 2 dinosaurs in theyre 40s in Wach & Pov.

I can only see this going the way of Fury & Chisora 2, Whytes nothing but a serial entitled to rematchroom duck who's being over paid. Going by previous earnings Whyte should be on 5%, that's just the math.

maybe im living under a rock but doesnt seem to be much hype for this at all

Which previous earnings are you talking about?

It costs money to hype a fight up ,it’s painfully obvious these guys are raking the bottom of the barrel here with funds after the purse bid as well , not sure Top Rank is even risking losing even more money on Fury here because I haven’t seen anything on the fight over here ?

[DaNeutral.]

Isn't that what promoter's do.

Which bit? Running to the WBC to ask them to lower their usual mando percentage split or putting on one of the worst undercards for a world title headline in most ppls memory?

Yeah, I have to agree. This show should be generating far more excitement than it seems to be.

I think there's two reasons

One, the tit for tat between Warren and Whyte where Warren did Whyte out of 10% so Whyte's retaliated by downing tools in promoting the fight.

Secondly, the undercard. It's a bunch of unknowns and Tommy Fury.
Seems like Warren's made a right f**k up of this fight so far

[REDEEMER]

You make some good points on gaining/losing weight. I still believe the biggest blunder Wilder made was putting on additional weight after the first Fury fight for the next two next fights. He was so obsessed about Fury pushing him around in the first fight - instead of realizing that at 214 pounds he had the right mix of power but also speed to hurt Fury. (What more proof did Wilder need than knocking Fury down for a 15-count - that was only counted to 8 by the incompetent ref - in the first fight?)

as for Whyte, I don’t blame him for not promoting the fight. Warren seemed so intent on messing with Whyte’s money in the negotiations before the purse bid - why shouldn’t Whyte mess with Warren’s money now?

[/QUOTE]

Come on now that 15 count has been debunked to death on here . Wilder only got that knockdown because Fury was not 100% and he kind of goofed around ,we saw what happened in the rematch .Wilder put up a far better fight in the third fight ,posters are forgetting Fury put on 270 pounds plus for the third fight ,had Wilder been below 220 I’m not so sure he lasts that long at all ? At the end of the day Whyte should provide far more difficulty I’m almost 95% sure he will which may irritate Fury fans but they don’t like much facts either .

Whyte not promoting the fight is right though he has very little once to do that .
