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

[Clegg]

Fury vs Whyte would be good but other than that there are more PBC/Hearn guys I'd wanna see Whyte against. Also expecting Bob to give both of them an easy fight first which slows things down.

10 years ago Wlad was champ and Arum was like "I'm done with HW boxing, fans don't care enough, not getting involved anymore". Then Hearn and Haymon spent those years building guys from 0-0 to fighting for belts and are still developing multiple unbeaten HWs right now. Arum didn't build anybody, didn't help bring fan interest back to the division but because it's catching fire he's coming back to get his share of the cash. Doesn't seem quite right but that's boxing I guess. Still gotta hope AJ-Wilder do a 3 fight series leaving Bob to overpay 2 Brits and a Bulgarian to fight at half-empty US venues.

Arum building a nice stable of HWs. Fury, Pulev, Parker, Rivas, and Whyte! Maybe Deontay should take the deal? PBC has a nice stable too, but they're mostly young prospects. TRs group is ready for battle NOW!

Eddie already said he maybe goes elsewhere ,the move doesn't effect Hearn at all he's not contracted to DAZN or Matchrrom . Whats with all the female wilder fans on here ? I never seen a fan base obsessed with promotions and who's going to lose out on money ,this and that ..and you have another thread on here thinking they've debunked furys 100 million contract when Arum has already said it wasn't true but in the same video they don't believe Arum when he says wilder doesn't need to sign to ESPN to fight fury and argued it for 100's of posts but ignored that entire part of the video last week ? .Ha

Just a couple months ago Eddie was doing YouTube interviews when Whyte-Chisora II went to Showtime saying everything's alright, nothing to see here.

Dillian Whyte is coming to America. Multiple sources have informed BoxingScene.com that progressing negotiations soon will result in the hard-hitting British heavyweight signing a lucrative, multi-fight contract with promoter Bob Arum's Top Rank Inc. Whyte will make his Top Rank debut on an undetermined date. That fight likely will be streamed by ESPN+ from an unchosen venue in the United States.

Get paid, Yardman. Get paid!

And follow Lennox and come build and buy properties back in Jamaica.

Arum looking more like Don King. All he needs is one of those HW with a title. Soon he will be signing any HW that matters. Arum's recipe is for his top fighters to fight two low tier fighters and then a named in-house TR fighter.

Fighting Whyte won't bring anywhere near 80 million. Fury still has a problem in ducking Wilder.

Yeah i cannot believe some still pay to watch Price for example. I cannot believe he is still boxing. I mean its great for the boxers like Allen but i find it hard to believe that they have high profile fights with their skill levels.

Price is a undercard fighter who provides plenty of entertainment so should keep going.

I'm half expecting some shenanigans with the WBO.

He must be paid a lot to off set the sky money he's going to lose. I think both he and fury have made a mistake not signing with Hearn. American promoters British fighters never turns out well, always starts out with dreams of conquering America, always ends I regret . British fighters will never cross over in the states there's more money for them by becoming a star in the uk
