Dillian Whyte on the True going's on inside Matchroom

No I wasn't actually but thanks for the info, last I heard he had welcomed the fight on Dec 22nd, when was this silence and is it documented or just commented on by you or other fans?

Would of been a fantastic match up a real 50/50, maybe the fee's were not right, who knows but a shame it never materialized

edit - quick google search brought the video up below dated after Ortiz accepted DW's challenge. Video makes it sounds like unrealistic fees, doesn't seem like he's been avoiding Ortiz but then who knows

So Whyte gets offered more than £4 million yet somehow believes that's a lowball offer.

The sense of entitlement needs to stop. Fight ing the champ doesn't mean you deserve tens of millions. Beat the champ and then make demands.

 

Honestly if it wasn't Joshua, Whyte would've never exist.

 

I would like to see the actual offers, hope Hearn delivers on showing us.

I think its pathetic that these guys are turning down the opportunity to become a unified or undisputed world champion for millions and calling it "lowball" or demanding more.

Similar to last week how in football that 18 year old I have never heard of (Udoi?) turned down 85k a week to potentially join a bigger club for more money. It is becoming ludicrous.

 

Unlike you I don't seek validation from strangers on the internet, so well done for proving my point.

 

Just how ludicrous is it exactly..?

Between a Vicar dating an under age girl.... and.... wearing a yellow business shirt to a meeting.


It is a hard fight for Whyte. He could lose everything and go back to the bottom of the pile. It is not just the belts that matter, it is the money and where the loser goes after.

Whyte has grinded out wins for this one specific fight... so he has actually done the hard work already. Stop boasting the narrative of 'Ohh chance to do this... do that...'

He has already proved his worth by getting here which wasn't exactly an easy road.

What other contender has grinded harder than Whyte? And generated the boxing revenue he has?

Deafening silence.

Stop questioning Whyte's actions... they are perfectly valid. He hasn't asked for a 50 50 split like the other two nob jockeys have... who ain't put in half the work.

FFS

This fight is dangerous. He should be well paid for it... as AJ gets the largest slice of pie anyways.

 

Funny how Hearn neglects to offer flat fee's to the likes of Chisora, who asks for it, as Chisora is upredictable in showing up for promotional events and fulfilling obligations to market the fight.

Whyte always takes part in any obligations to market the fight... he is a dedicated Jamaican that makes every effort to get that extra penny.

And then he gets a flat fee... given his PPV successes lol???

My oh my... 70/30 and not a penny less. I'd even say Parker/AJ split to be honest.

 

Good point, I'll add you to the ever expanding list of plebs on ignore. About the only decent contribution to this site you've made, so well done, have a cookie.

 

Voice of reason? You have DW as an avatar pic and supporting text. I'd say you have an unhealthy interest, not a voice of reason.

 

a non-disclosure agreement

 

He hasn't said it is a flat fee neither has Whyte. It is likely atleast what he would make if the numbers etc sold based on their estimates. There are always upsides to purses at their level particularly where PPV is involved. In regards to Whytes next step if he loses it would be the same in any scenario, he does not make the same level of money in any other fight Worldwide.

The second biggest fight he could be offered would be Wilder where at a push he may get $2m and then where does he go from there. I agree Whyte needs to hold out for maximum payday but dependant on the terms of the offer which none of us know the money is not too bad at all Considering its over double his highest purse and he gets to fight for all the belts.

The power AJ has is Whyte does not have many other offers, go to PBC make £500k a fight max and wait for 2020 once Wilder has fought Fury and Breazeale and even then get less than the AJ fight. If he loses the AJ fight with 2 wins on his record he could get back towards a mandatory Wilder shot.

My estimate which is a total guess is that this offer is based on 1m PPV buys (if split with Sky 50/50 £10m) plus a 80k live gate at £6m and overseas money etc maybe £18m revenue and they have offered Whyte more than £4m according to Hearn so its probably a 25% split with a garauntee but i reckon Whyte will be given and accept a deal at 30%.

 

Do you realise that if it's not a flat fee and the £4m is inclusive of a share of the PPV money, that would make his base pay paltry and would therefore be even more pathetic than a £4m flat fee.

It was a flat fee offer. Hearn is a ****ing scumbag, he represents Whyte on a fight-by-fight basis yet is lowballing him just to milk and appease his cash cow even further. If anyone thinks this guy has an ounce of integrity in business or even on a personal level with his own fighters they need to remove his rich boy Essex **** and balls from their mouths and get a grip on reality. Eddie Hearn is boxing's answer to Fredo Corleone. Not an ounce of honour and integrity.
