    That's actually pretty funny.

      You don't think Hearn would win the purse bid for Wilder vs. Whyte?

        I don't think it would go to a purse bid. But if it did and they won, more power to them.

          You are right about that. I dont think it would go to purse bid either.
          But if it did, I would favor Hearn.

          I also think that if a Wilder vs. Whyte fight happens, if will happen in the UK.

            show me an example of a fighter signed to one network fighting on another network
            You don't know **** about the org rules go read up. The winner of the purse bid can put the fight wherever they want. If the champ doesn't agree, he'd get stripped, simple.

              It won’t and it definitely won’t be in the UK if it does.

                regardless, no way does this go to a purse bid.

                i agree, it won't see purse bid.

                the fight wasnt on either network. it was on ppv. same goes for mayweather vs pacquiao. ppv doesnt come on hbo or showtime.

                so again i ask, what fighter had a contract with one network and fought on another network while under contract?

                  answer my question.

                  when has a fighter that has a contract on one network fought on another network while under contract?


                  just answer that please smart guy?

                  a purse bid cant break a network contract.

                  so if hearn won a purse bid, he would do the fight on showtime not hbo.

                  wilder can't fight on hbo while under contract with showtime.

                  you don't know **** about boxing.

                  joint ppv is the only solution and that aint happening for wilder/whyte dumbass.

                  there will be no purse bid

                    No you're ******. The purse bid winner decides where the fight goes. If the champ won't/can't fight on the network then he gets stripped. FACTS. You don't even know the damn rules. But say i don't know shit?
