Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte's Deal With Top Rank & ESPN Nearing Completion

[Scipio2009]

I though I read Furys fighting in the us in 1st fight. He ranked 1 by wbc so hes getting Breazele or he mado for Wilder if Wilder fight Breazele which he say he want to do. So in one way it dosent make sense to match him with Fury if hes #1 for Wilder.

Whyte is #1, but not mandatory because he never won a final eliminator.

Need to look at the ratings, but he may be forced to take that Luis Ortiz fight that he's been ducking so far.

Bob likes building to his in-house fights too. If they do sign Whyte, I fully expect that to be the one UK fight for fight 3.

If Parker's deal is done, he may get the call. If not, Arum waits on that too, and we likely see Fury vs Jennings or worse.

Arum thought that he could use Fury as bait to now lock up Deontay Wilder, but it looks like that won't work.

So couple of things. Parked signed on to TR a while ago as US promoter is my understanding, they did the parker vs Ruiz fight and Pac vs Horn as well as Crawford vs horn. Pulev in mando for AJ when ever that happens. Parker did say last week he was still interested in fight Cristora if it can be worked out. I also read that Hearn was talking about June 13th date for Whyte as his next fight guess not.

Don't understand it, whyte not only has an inflated idea of his worth financially but also in terms of his ability. You have to remember he struggled against a static semi shot chisora that got ko by a semi shot( at the time) haye all those years ago .. arum and finkal dispise each other so what chance whyte v wilder .. his chance with Joshua has now gone forever so who will be fight ?

Well now we know who FUry's fighting next.

Breazele is current mando. white next, Im kool with Ortiz- Whyte. Ortiz looked like hes slipping rapidly but skill wise he may be able to frustrate Whyte not sure he makes it to the final bell have to think about that. I think whyte would win that and should take that fight if mandated. Ortiz looks beatable and whytes on a roll.

This is in line with my thoughts

Arum likes to copy that Haymon in house styles of fights. Just look at Wilder before he demanded Fury. In a row he fought Spzilka, Arreola, Washington, Stiverne, Ortiz. 4 out of 5 he hep in house and only went outside for Stiverne rematch because he was the mandatory. One thing about Haymon is he’s the king of in house fights.

Look this idea that one platform is just going to take over ALL OF BOXING is just not realistic, it is too many fighters in the sport of boxing for that to ever happen. Guys are going to spread Around because it is big money being spent by multiple platforms right now. Great time to be a Free Agent in the sport of boxing, Dillian Whyte just not a the submissive little b#tch that some fans want him to be when it comes to AJ. He knew his worth, refused to take anything less and went and cut himself a very good deal I'm sure

Happy for him just like I was happy for Fury. Sorry but this is not just about f#cking AJ and Wilder and no other fighters should not based their careers around chasing them. Whyte is in the #1 Spot by the WBC and the WBA so it doesn't really matter. He now has the backing to go "BALLS DEEP" when/if the Purse Bid comes around

Props to Top Rank and ESPN, competition is GREAT it is making everybody step the hell up.

Once again Stephen Espinoza losing ANOTHER Heavyweight after recently showcasing him on Showtime. Stop reserving some of your budget for a damn Mayweather Comeback which is what is "ALLEGEDLY" going on over at Showtime right now

Good for Whyte Hearn low balled him and it back fired. He felt he was worth more and looks like Uncle Bob agrees. Funny he let Andy Ruiz go to PBC. Andy was very good fighter regardless of his body I had him beating Parker. Most under rated HW on the planet not much of a fan base tho. So now there's Parker Whyte and Fury that was quick.

Who is whyte gonna fight to make above 7mil hearn offered him? Fury? Rivas? Parker? Joyce?
Stop hating hearn and look at values and numbers.

Cristsora won the 1st fight with Whyte by 2-3 rds easy! cmon but dosen't matter he in a good position for Wilder hes ranked #1 and next after Breazele Wilder said he wants Breazele next so if WBC ordered that fight down the road finkel makes a deal or it goes to purse bids assuming whyte wins next fight and keeps his position. If hearn whated to match Whyte with Joshua it would of happened He offered more money to less deserving Miller so I don't think Hearn wants that fight at this point. I think whyte knows what time it is and is close to getting paid.
