    I hope it's ambition, and not Eddie hearn creating excuses for aj to avoid wilder.

    Whyte clearly ducked pulev. So his ambition seems to be very limited to what suits Eddie hearn and AJ

      Do you really believe Whyte ducked Pulev?

      If he fought Pulev he would have made £300k.

      By fighting Parker he made £1m at least and more respect.

      What would you do in that situation?

        He lost the purse bid. And then pulled out of the fight. It doesnt get any clearer of a duck than that. If the fight was worth more they should of bid more at the purse bid. This is the clearest duck since Hughie Fury pulled out of the Parker fight with 2 weeks notice.

        "The bottom line is that they lost the bid but instead of playing by the rules, Eddie Hearn and his fighter decided to pick up their marbles and go home with their tails between their legs."

          Only idiots would think Whyte is a bus boy for Joshua. The man literally hates Joshua. So no I don’t subscribe to that idiocy. Whyte had his own path and his promoter was willing to put his money down to back him. He ducked Pulev for Parker. So no issues with that, if he ducked Pulev for some bum then we have a problem. As long as fans use their heads in an objective way then they can see clearly without any BS.

            But lets be real, Eddie is making these fights not Whyte, Whyte is just saying yes to any opponent Eddie creates a contract for. And Eddie only creates contracts for people he wants Whyte to fight.

            Whyte may not think he is bus boy for Joshua, but Eddie has manipulated him into being one, whether he knows it or not. Like you said Eddie putting the money down, so Eddie can manipulate him into fighting anyone he wants. In this case, he wanted him to fight Parker.

              he ducked pulev by fighting someone better and for more money? dear god that word has lost all meaning.

              Pulev is entitled to 75 percent of the winning bid ($1,125,083.25), and Whyte will receive the remaining 25 percent ($375,027.75).

              hearn instead found a better fight that would earn his fighter over a million. in order to pay whyte a million for the pulev fight he would have had to pay pulev 3 million for a total purse bid of 4 million so yeah not happening. he spent half the money and gave his fighter way more money. business!

                I dont think you understand how a purse bid works. You aren't supposed to just pull out of the fight because you lose it.

                    He also ducked ortiz, wbc ordered that fight as an eliminator to fight wilder.
