Because Haymon is rather straightforward with the money, pays well but accordingly, and Whyte would've likely been matched with someone like Luis Ortiz to get to a really big payday (a fight that makes him the next mandatory for Wilder too).
Dillian Whyte doesn't headline his own show in the US, full stop (Whyte-Ortiz is likely big enough to headline a big date in Miami, but the fight likely makes more money for everyone in the UK, anyway). There are far more UK shows for him.
Top Rank now has Fury for five fights, and Whyte for however many fights; let's see what they can come up with to value the amount they paid
