Whyte's opponent for 22nd December announced tomorrow (1/11/18)

From Eddie Hearn on Twitter.

Don't think anybody's in suspense, it's going to be Chisora. The dreaded 2 PPVs on the same night is happening.

 

Whyte - Chisora as a PPV when neither has a title is laughable. Warrington v Frampton in a world title fight is a justifiable PPV fight in my eyes.

 

Looking forward to Warren ranting

 

I dont think either are stand alone PPVs when on subscription channels. I do think Warrington v Frampton is close too one, as for Whyte v Chisora I say it definetly shouldn't be but if its half as good as last time not many will complain. I actually think Chisora v Whyte will do 4 x the numbers of Warrington v Frampton which is a real shame. I hope Warrington and Frampton have a good minimum guarantee for fight and not just a ppv split.

 

Warrington vs Frampton is a much better fight

 

better be a good under card

 

Eddie will have 1 fight lined up for it

 

To justify this as PPV you would need at least two world title fights (not female) and a domestic 50/50. Comical that Dillian Whyte is actually a PPV fighter but fair play to the lad he's stuck at it and got his rewards.

 

on the positive side Haye and Chisora know what it takes to sell a PPV so i'm expecting some action at the pressers.

 

Yeah Dave Allen v Lee Carter as the main undercard.

 

whyte v Chisora is never a PPV
Josh v Carl isn’t really a PPV the world title could be the selling point
Bring DAZN to the uk Eddie!!
I will pay for bellew v usyk but with fury wilder in December that’s a must buy Christmas is three days away the show for the 22nd will have to be special to be a success

 

The reality is Whyte/Chisora will probably do 600k, where as Frampton/Warrington will struggle to break 100k

I'll be watching the heavies

 

I think a couple/all of these will be on there

Charlie Edwards vs Mthalane
Buatsi vs Burton
Campbell tickover or maybe a WBC trinket fight
Dave Allen for a title, Commonwealth maybe?

 

Both cards will be severely down on buys due to the clash. With the fury fight a few weeks earlier too its ludicrous.

Add to that its Christmas so lots of other stuff going off.

Whyte and Chisroa are going have to put on one hell of a 0re fight show! Will do the bigger numbers thoughu

 

I don’t think Hearn is too bothered about a clash (obviously)...I think in his head, he’s aiming his product at a casual base which lets face it, isn’t going to really buy into Warrington v Frampton anyway, of whom the ppv’s will be going largely over the Irish Sea and West Yorkshire and a few thousand hardcore fans. I don’t condone this move btw, it’s us genuine boxing fans who suffer.

On a separate note, I’m glad Whyte is going to fight Chisora. It wasn’t a conclusive victory, it was a flip a coin decision that went to the younger, more marketable fighter at the time.

Although i’d favour Whyte, it can’t be ignored that Whyte has done the 12 rounds just 3 times in his career...2 of them 3 fights he very nearly got stopped as he was blowing out of his backside. That cannot be ignored. Chisora is incredibly durable and will happily play possum and let you throw the higher frequency of shots. He rocked Whyte a few times and sparked Takam. You can’t write him off.
