Comments Thread For: Whyte Slams Fury, Erupts Over Arum's Talk of Delaying Mandatory Shot

[Zelda]

If he was fit to fight, they could fight in July. Who cares if they don't have an audience. Big deal. Both of them have fought most of their careers with hardly any audience.

Except that the $17m from the audience is more than all his fights combined.

Nobody wants to fight Whyte but the big money is elsewhere. Whyte is only relevant in the UK and, save Joshua, nobody wants to fight there. He should have taken his title shots while he had the opportunity. Arum is right...in the US, Fury vs Wallin or Fury vs Whyte is the same thing except that Wallin will be lower risk and also demand lower money. So, Whyte does not make sense at all to any top HW right now. I am not even sure AJ would be interested in that fight any longer.

Whyte's best bet is to fight Miller, Ruiz, or Ortiz in the US. Or to remain a UK level fighter while inviting others to come to UK and rest his hopes that without much AJ action, the British public would come to watch him. In the UK, he can claim to be the A-side while taking fights against Joyce, Dubois, or rematch Parker.

Will boxingscene allow me to put Dillian Whyte on ignore or is that feature limited to message board posters?

[Dasmius Shinobi]

OH! NO! Dillian Whyte spoken again.

Practically 1000 days as a #1 in WBC and still don't got that shot. Dillian Whyte position is not the first and last we see. Is a shame he no fight in various eliminator I wanted to see him.

The reality is that Wilder turned down more to fight Whyte than he got paid combined for the 1st Fury fight and the Ortiz fight.

Neither Fury nor Wilder have ever been big ticket sellers and you reference the Wallin fight but they had to give away most of the tickets with 4000 complimentary tickets out of a crowd of under 7,500. That is embarrassing and part of the reason why Top Rank is desperately looking for a buyer.

Bob Arum is all in on Tyson Fury and is holding a 2, 7 off suit. He has lost a fortune on the three fights so far and has lost money in each of the fights. The promotional effort that was put into the Wilder v Fury rematch far outweighed any revenue made by the event as it made a huge loss,

They are either giving away more tickets than they sell or when they do finally sell some tickets they are expending more than they take in. It hasn't worked and this is Bob's last desperate roll of the dice.

Didn’t this guy test positive not too long ago. He’s lucky he wasn’t stripped of his mandatory ranking.

This guy in my opinion is nowhere near world championship class. This would be shown vs fury/wilder and has already been shown against Joshua

[Bunch Pag]

Hasn't Whyte already turned down chances?

[factsarenice]

Whyte was cleared by VADA. The PED charge turned out to be a fake article from this site.

Whyte accepted and Tyson Fury told the WBC no, Fury turned it down.
