Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Takes Legal Action Against The WBC

[Bonduu]

Because he is the highest paid boxer of the world in 2020. He earned 57 million. Thats 10 more than wilder and Aj. Try to keep up

Lolsss you need to keep up bruv, AJ made at least 60m in Saudi Arabia, those Saudis know how to throw money away, AJ didn’t have to peddle his behinds like the way Wilder and Fury did.

Here is a link on Forbes on how much AJ made in the rematch, something to keep you fan boy early to bed crying.

Hahaha....that was a misleading stats. Fury didn't make all that money in boxing. Take away the 15m US dollar he earned in his wwe wrestling outing then he earn less AJ and Wilder.

Dillian Whyte became the interim WBC champion 11 months ago and there’s been a worldwide plague that shut down boxing.

His case is amazing! LOL.

Whyte put all his eggs in one basket by turning down a voluntary shot at AJ and waiting for his mandatory shot at the WBC, which never came.

Basically what I mean. He was Mando with WBC yet turned down chances to move forward regarding AJ etc...

I wish him well. He is a good fighter who will fight anyone for far pay but many don't want to fight him.

[Chrismart]

I don't blame him to be honest.

I feel for Dillian, but he really should have taken that chance when it was offered to him. He has always insisted on being his own boss, and never signed an extended deal with Matchroom, the way AJ did. You reap what you sow, I guess.

You can see why he did it though. He wanted the WBC belt to bring to the AJ fight, and with it he would have doubled or tripled his purse for a Wembley fight too.

I think he just underestimated how dirty the WBC/PBC was in terms of protecting Wilder from Hearn/Matchroom/Whyte. They're not even discreet about their corruption.

What a mess this really is, you read these posts and think what on earth would a new fan to boxing make of all this?

Ultimately there's no telling the WBC how to run their business - that much is proven. So it's just a waste of time trying to make sense of who is more deserving as there's no clear and defining rationale other than what best suits the WBC.

People commenting on failed PED tests for Whyte as being the reason why he's not fought for the full WBC title overlook the same failed tests for Ortiz and Fury (okay only Ortiz was a mando). But how on earth did Breazeale get his mando shot over Whyte? Why couldn't the WBC guarantee Whyte a shot at Wilder if he fought Ortiz?

All these questions seem relevant but they're not, because the answer to all this mess is that the WBC is a law unto itself. Stop wasting your time trying to make sense of it. It's the WBC.

Your statement is actually not true at all and is an opinion not a fact. All sanctioning bodies have laws they have to abide by, which were created by the US congress. This is why they can be sued, and have lost in court before. However Whyte will more than likely see his mando pushed back, even by the courts because of the coronavirus. Whyte is trying to jump in front of Wilder, and that's not going to happen. Also the courts can make the WBC honor the original date of the mando which was for late February, but the courts cant force Fury to fight. It's quite possible Whyte will be fighting Wilder (if Wilder loses to Fury) for a vacant belt.

Despite the fact that I don't like Whyte personally, on account of his whining and general hypocrisy..but..he has a point. To be the #1 contender since 2018 and not receive an actual title shot is ridiculous.

It's pretty consistent with how the WBC operates though - disgracefully.

He only became mando in July 2019
When he beat Oscar Rivas
