Dillian Whyte On PBC????

[Curt Henning]

Aren't PBC shows gonna be on ITV and ITV PPV in the UK? I've been out the loop for a while and that was what I last heard.

nah man..dont believe nothin...al haymon cant do squat in the UK...cant get uk fighters...cant even do squat in the US...i mean look at him? hes got nobody...hes about to go bankrupt and got no tv deals.....heck even the guys he has never fight each other.....

just ask these uk ****bois...theyll tell ya

The fact is, Dillian Whyte is a PPV fighter and a star attraction in his own right. He isn't happy sitting back and playing second fiddle to Anthony Joshua, and rightly so. Hearn is obviously focused on his cashcow AJ, even to the detriment of Dillian's best interests. It shouldn't be a question of whether Dillian deserves the AJ fight, and according to AJ and Hearn he should just take whatever he is offered... there's a serious conflict of interests and it looks like Hearn isn't looking out for Dillian in this instance. Whyte could possibly have it better with a rival promoter, being the marquee Heavyweight.

I mean Hearn has done great for Whyte. Made him into a legitimate PPV fighter. Whyte really isn't that caliber of fighter yet here we are. Where won't Whyte play second fiddle at? ESPN? That's it. He's playing second fiddle at PBC and with Warren.

A lot of Matchroom fighters have technically been free agents in the sense they had nothing in writing.

I know Bellew never had a fixed deal with them, just a gentleman's agreement with Hearn. I think Brook is the same too and other fighters.

Seems like Whyte has been unhappy with Hearn's offer for the AJ fight. Maybe he's just there to try and force a better offer from Hearn.

It makes little sense in a way though. If he's unhappy with Hearn's offer, or Hearn prioritises other fights for AJ instead of delivering a title shot for Whyte as his priority, then why would Whyte move away from the place that has the most titles available and the easier fight to make? - It's not like he's just going to walk into a world title fight with Wilder.

Think Whyte - Wilder becomes a real possibility, with a fair split, if Dillian went with Haymon.

i think theyd make whyte and ortiz fight each other to see who would get a crack at wilder

Sure, but are you saying Whyte will be PBC's #1 at HW? No, that will still be Wilder. That was the point. Playing second fiddle to arguably the biggest star in boxing is not something to take personal.

I just can't see him turning down the Joshua payday to be honest. I mean unless we get Joshua/Fury, then Whyte really has no reason to leave SKY/Hearn.

ITV PPV i forgot that existed, because it's been a complete flop. Keep dreaming that Haymon can compete in the UK.

Be grateful because of him we can Broner vs Pacman otherwise be on sky sports and nobody will see it

I'm pleased to see fights from the states of this calibre or name value at 4am for free on ITV as is the plan on this occasion.

I'm not happy that the UK division of PBC fighters of the calibre of degale Vs eubank is to be shown on PPV because its UK prime time.

If they follow that flow, it won't matter what big names they put on for free ( and it won't stay like that, sooner or later their larger US fights will also go on ITVbox office. ) from the states, the casual UK fan won't tune in at 4am to see a charlo or a garcia, and they won't be paying ppv to itv box office to see a eubank or a degale or a Joyce.

It's exactly the same as why US fans won't watch a Callum Smith or a Charlie Edwards or a Josh Warrington etc etc in the afternoon.
