Comments Thread For: Whyte Waiting on WBC To Make Decision on His Title Shot

[James Hunt]

the fight is not going to happen if whyte is still with hearn/dazn. its all political posturing. haymon does not want wilder to have to travel or fight on another network. this is why wilder is such an idiot for trusting him. he will play politics and prevent guys from getting title shots based on network alliances and this is the same guy wilder listens to and rejects 100 million dollar offers? its all about his network and how to make it succeed. wilder is one of the keys to making that happen but being on show/pbc is not the key to wilders best career. manipulated

You're absolutely spot on!

I think sometimes Dillian gets in his own way. Why doesn't he fight his title eliminators man? He bypassed two of them within the same calendar year of 2018; First against Luis Ortiz and then with Kubrat Pulev.

I hope that the WBC does make him Deontay Wilder's mandatory challenger so "The Bronze Bomber" could shut him up. If there's no Klitschko I hope Wilder fights him next.

How does kushking not understand the WBC repeatedly lied in writing (several leading journalists have this) about the status of the Brezeale vs Molina fight as a final eliminator it was only an eliminator after the fight and no one could challenge it. Whyte was higher ranked than Molina then and available.

It was published wrongly on the WBC website and it was queried at the time the WBC president put in writing it was an eliminator not a final eliminator big difference.

Brezeale was meant to fight Stiverne for a mandatory , Stiverne was bumped up Brezeale took another fight the very lowly rated Molina that fight should have been Whyte vs Brezeale if it was a final eliminator. Brezeales positon as mandatory is bogus.

The WBC either made a massive mistake or much more likely wanted to avoid Wilder being sued by Brezeale over the attack on his family.

How does whyte not understand that he was only ranked #1 AFTER brezeal had already been made wilders mandatory but then got brushed aside for wilder v fury twice. It was done as per the rules because its in the rules that legacy fights "for the good of the sport" trump mandatories; then when the mando gets brushed aside like brezeale he gets 1st crack at wilder despite not being #1,& the wbc also let brezeal go 1st because hes been patiently waiting for revenge & begged to be made mandatory ages ago.

its too bad wilder is a simpleton and doesn't think about things like this. haymon is so cunning he probably planted his own yes men in wilders inner circle so that they reinforce haymons dominance over him and tell him to stay pbc. loyalty lol.

"Haymon people" are "planted" in all PBC fighters' teams bcs the whole structure is organized that way - to circumvent the Ali act. It's hard to say that someone is circumventing the law for the good of the fighters is the sole purpose of that law is to protect the fighters (from promoters). Esp. if the guy who is running the whole organization is de facto promoter yet formally calls himself an "advisor".

Sort of,Sulaiman did brezeale a favor because brezeale wanted revenge on wilder & appealed to him personally to become 1st mando after stiverne,so whyte had still been getting the runaround from wbc as to how be could become mando,because brezeale had already been promised next at wilder

So Sulaimoney did it just to do "a favour" to Brazil?! Sure...lol

I thought that mandatory bouts always goes to a purse bid and to the highest bidder. This won't be a voluntary defense. That's very sad if Hearn won't allow Whyte to fight Wilder on Showtime for a mandatory challenge of his WBC title.

I'm just going off what was being reported & brezeales words,I can care less,I'm sure they'll both get sparked anyways

whyte should be able to pick his eliminator opponent just like breazele did. i bet he skips over everyone good and picks a lower ranked bum just like breazele did.

Were you outraged when Povetkin vs David Price was the final eliminator for the WBA Super Championship last year?

Or is Breazele vs Molina the only “mismatch” final eliminator that gets your blood boiling?

Pulev/Whyte would have been a decent final eliminator, but we got stuck with Pulev/H Fury. Because Whyte has you guys thinking Helinus and Browne are the type of wins that get you a title shot.

Yeah that looked like a PBC favour from the WBC, am glad you didn’t sugar coat it. Having said that Whyte needs to get a move on now. If he gets the guarantee that beating Ortiz would get him a next shot then go for it. No point in waiting for another 18 months, or being signed to PBC for him to get a shot. The WBC need to grow a pair and stop their corruption/affiliation to Haymon and call the Whyte/Ortiz fight an interim title fight.
