*2nd mandatory. So he would’ve had to wait for the breazle fight to take place first and at that point who knew when that was going to be? It would’ve been a year after the breazle fight who’s only getting his shot now because the fury rematch fell through so quite possibly he could’ve been waiting up to two years for the fight to be ordered. I don’t blame him for making more money. For someone that is the silver champion and number one contender I can definitely understand why he wouldn’t want to fight for a secondary mandatory position when there were more lucrative offers on the table

I like how you skipped over the part where he could've become immediate mandatory by fighting Breazeale.*2nd mandatory. So he would’ve had to wait for the breazle fight to take place first and at that point who knew when that was going to be?

He didn't want to become immediate mandatory.
He didn't want to become 2nd mandatory

Brezeale turned down Whyte on the Takam card saying it wasn't enough money, Hearn asked if this for a mandatory the WBC said no in writing and on their website, so Hearn couldn't justify offering more. The WBC backtracked on this, this was recorded by several noted journalists, who screen shotted the WBC site.
Ortiz refused to fight Whyte when with Hearn and turned the fight down again pre Christmas saying it was not enough money. His manager confirmed this in an interview on Youtube , still there I think.
So Ortiz and Brezeale turned it down.
Wilder has been fighting a mandatory every 3 years with unification now it'll be worse so anything less than a called mandatory has no value. The fact Wilder texted Whyte to say he would do everything he could to avoid him if he did become mandatory makes it worse.Comment

When did that happen? the only times I remember the Breazle fight being close to happening is when breazle said he was offered too little to take the fight and when the wbc ordered it for the interim title when it looked like the fury rematch was getting made so yeah I skipped over it because it’s not true.
After an unexpected two weeks which included uncertainty and disappointment, heavyweight contender Dominic "Trouble" Breazeale (18-1, 16 KO's) will return to the ring after all on November 4, 2017 on the Premier Boxing Champions series on Showtime Extreme. Breazeale was originally scheduled to face Bermane Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KO's) in what would have been a WBC heavyweight title eliminator with the winner facing either Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KO's) or Luis "King Long" Ortiz (27-0, 23 KO's). With Ortiz later testing positive for a banned substance, Stiverne was elevated to the main-event now facing Wilder and subsequently leaving Breazeale without an opponent.Last edited by Fabes88; 03-25-2019, 11:35 AM.Comment

Respect to Whyte in trying to stand up to a corrupt ABC group, but he's not gonna get anywhere with this move.Comment

Ortiz did not refuse to fight him. Whyte said he'd fight Ortiz in December and Ortiz said ok & Whyte & Hearn got quiet & announced the Chisora fight.Brezeale turned down Whyte on the Takam card saying it wasn't enough money, Hearn asked if this for a mandatory the WBC said no in writing and on their website, so Hearn couldn't justify offering more.
