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

[_Rexy_]

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.

Yeah, I’ve been a big fan of Andy for a while now. He’s fighting 4/20 on the Danny Garcia card

Well, the rip off continues. It's a win win situation.

BTW I think Hearn is a good promoter in general. Hes not dumb. Hes does a great job for AJ getting him $25-30M for Miller. At the same time he pissed off Wilder and his team as well as Whyte over the same fight so it is what it is. Don't go preaching to me how great Hearn is. If Whyte's leaving its for a reason, if Wilder choose to do Fury instead of AJ there's a reason, probably money.
Even if you think Hearn is the best and the fairest human ever, Whyte doesn't nor did Wilder. I believe Whyte deserved a shot at AJ more then Miller. Yet he offered a guy he dosen't promote more than what he offered Whyte and they already work together, so blame Whyte all you want or me for that matter but It sounds like TR is about to paying him more.

Cannabis and Andy on the same day I love 420!

Well, let's see what the #s in the contract says but am pretty certain Eddie's offer was as high as 7mil. Whyte estimated himself up to 10mil.

Which ever way, I hope it's for the good of boxing but from observations, it is now more difficult to make the big fights we are all expecting.

I believe it was $4M flat fee and he want %. Ether way dint happen. I don't know what the networks are thinking or where the money comes from but the networks are the issue here in an over all way/ Max was talking about this on Boxing beat last week.

100% agree Hearn low balling Whyte to pay Miller more was a dumb move considering Whyte was used to earning millions per fight in the UK and Millers previous highest payday was circa 400k it just doesn’t make sense unless AJ/Hearn didn’t fancy the Whyte fight but whichever way it looks like Hearn might be about lose a major part of his stable.

No hard feelings for whyte, hez one of my favorite fighters. .... After all hez not signed to matchroom, Eddie only promotes him on fight to fight bases.
Boxing is a business sport and if he thinks TR will offer him more, good and fine. I don't have issues with that. That's shows hez versatile and also a business man.
.i will recommend Ortiz do same, explore other options and compare the best one instead sitting on his couch to cry nobody wants to fight him.

Take a step or fvvk off. Nobody owes him a dime.

You are right. It is what it is. Going about throwing blames on who stuck the deal from happening is not going to yield any results.

Let's see what happens next.

Stop saying rubbish fella. Miller accepted the deal whyte rejected even less.
Whyte was offered 7mil but he wanted more clajnlming hez on the same level as fury and wilder.

British boxers are taking over the world. I can't believe the yanks signed not one but two British Heavies. God save the queen, send her victorious, happy and glorious.

Ducking there way to the top.
AJ, ***** whyte and now Fury all decided it's easier to fight no risk bums.

[Jkp]

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 ?

Agree. He will get exposed as soon as he fights any top guy. He won the lottery against parker with the head butt, that won't be happening twice.
