Comments Thread For: Whyte Won't Take 'Easy Fights' Before Fighting For WBC Title

[REDEEMER]

I know Hearn is dumb but he's not that dumb. Unless they're going to close the upper tier and make Wembley like 40-50% capacity ish, it's going to be a waste of money. Dillian Whyte doesn't really have that type following and even Fury has a far bigger fan base compared to Dillian. Dillian just struggled to put bums on seats at the o2 despite how loaded the cards was. Or didn't you see all the empty seats at the o2? I doubt they sold 8,000 tickets for that fight and the crowd wasn't that much bigger than the Dubois vs Gorman fight.

And how many people out here would pay to watch Wilder?

Its not how many seats are empty its how many are filled. Half seating filled in 90 K stadium isn't dumb because that fight is bigger then 20 K on Wilder as the opponent since Whyte fills out the O2 so far or close to it with much less attractive fights.

The booking of Wembley was probably the least unlikely part. I think Dillian would want to do it in Vegas

Vegas would be a good choice if they can't get Wilder to come here. But the Wembley tho, loool. Everyone think it's a cake walk to sell out Wembley, lol.

Even AJ didn't start thinking about Wembley until the demand for his fights were 3 times the capacity of o2 and tickets were selling out in minutes. Ditto Froch vs Groves 2 due to how controversial the first one and the demand for a rematch. And both were domestic boxers with huge followings and the rivalry was deep.

Well, it cost millions to book Wembley for the number of days they would need it for (at least 3 days). So, if you're not going to fill it up, why waste money then?

How's it bigger than o2 when Dillian just struggled to put 8k bums in a 20k capacity arena and Wilder can't even put 7k in a 16k capacity arena in his own country? Wilder was in London last year, how many people even acknowledge the guy?

Whyte has taken easy fights his entire career

Not likely that changes now.

LMAO. Stop chatting shi...tt.

Prove me wrong. Who's fought better opposition recently? I've read a few of your posts and they're usually the same. Total garbage with absolutely no substance.

You're an airhead and your singular post on this thread tells me all I need to know.

The guy who knocked him out unconscious has a far better resume.

Whyte: Helenius, Browne, Chisora, Parker, Chisora, and Rivas

vs

AJ: Klitchsko, Molina, Parker, Takam, Povetkin, and Ruiz.

Helenius just got KO'd by a former NFL player who's a bum and journeyman. And the punching bag, Dave Allen, knocked out Browne. And the two bums beat both Helenius and Browne better than Dillian did.

He got dropped by this Rivas guy.

Anyone can outbox Wilder so if he can last 12 he'll win. But idk that he can last 12 is the thing. Whyte's defense isn't anything special. His boxing ain't even that good, he's been touch & go with Del Boy in 2 fights & Del Boy isn't exactly known as a great boxer himself. So I just don't see Whyte being likely to upset the apple cart here. Its a 70/30 Wilder fight & almost everyone has a 20% chance to beat Wilder cuz he's so wild.

Whilst I see your point I wouldn’t discount Whyte knocking Wilder out.

IDK it was hard to spot a single empty seat by the time Whyte fight started.

Not sure how much it costs to book Wembley but I doubt its millions,i know football games go as high as 700,000 .

Edit : Parker helped sell out the O2 as well Wilder vs whyte has to double that at least.

The clown is right because any bum he fights will make it a life and death match for that delusional bum

[yard man]

i can see whyte knocking out wilder with a left hook when wilder miss with right hand whyte counter
