Whyte has got to be the most lucrative contender to fight and it is not close.
If you want £6M for getting battered by AJ that is. At the end of the month, the WBO name a mandatory and it will be Whyte. And AJ's next mandatory is the WBO! As mandatory challenger, even at purse, he will get 25% of 90,000 Wembley PPV. Say £6M / $8M. Assuming Eddie doesn't want it to go to purse for fear of losing it for DAZN, 30%+.
Why Whyte would commit to any fight before the WBO mandatory annoucement before the end of the month I don't know; probably because he will fight anybody and values being busy. For example, whilst Breazeale has waited for Beyonce, Whyte has savagely flattened Browne - massively increasing his stock - which lead to very lucrative PPV with Parker (one of the best nights of boxing in the UK this year).
For Ortiz, it is his only chance to get a shot at AJ. Miller should be doing this but he will get a shot without fighting anybody in the current top 10 (any belt or Ring) because he has a mouth and will sell tickets in the US. Plus, his style is tailor-made for AJ to crucify him.
