    Well we have 13 pages of discussion... Whyte is moaning about not getting AJ money when he doesn't bring in AJ income so its a moot point. AJ gets the treatment Whyte states cos he is the primary income for matchroom. You look after your primary income in any business. I fail to see you argument

    No there not but if you want to try and determine a purse split by comparing Joshua and Whytes value then it doesn't look good for Whyte.

    You are missing the most important thing. AJ wanted parkers belt so Parker had some leverage to work with.

    Yeah I agree it is unlikely he will get better anywhere else, although never say never. Maybe Fury decides to take on Whyte.

    He has proved he can be in good fights without the top 3 and still make good money as with the likes of Chisora.

    Nobody, especially Whyte, thinks 5 Million is poor mans money. He refuses to undersell himself, and rightly so - it's a big fight.

    He's a Jamaican, and he'll take the best deal for him. I'm patient to see where this all ends up.

    What kind of figure is Whyte holding out for then? 6-7? I think he’s living in fantasy land.

    Yeah apparently all of Sky, Matchroom, boxing media, and 85% of this forum figured Dillian was owe'd a rematch too.

    Even AJ himself wants to settle the score being 1:1 with Dillian... not my words... AJ's own words.

    But hey, narratives change real quick here. Maybe tomorrow everyone thinks AJ is a bum.

    None of us are concerned with actual numbers, we are talking percentage splits of the whole revenue.

    and from what I've read everyone thinks 30/70 or thereabouts is fair.

    I think even 35/65 is more fair.

    So what that translates to as a number I don't know....

    But I would guess probably 6-8 million.

    Where is a confirmed split? It was a confidential deal that was never disclosed. If you can point me to a reliable source that would be appreciated. Hearn has just confirmed was offered more than £4m and it was more than Povetkin deal. If you can show me a source more reliable than the man that made the deal that would be great

    You want a source that is more reliable than the man who made the deal?

    You mean like someone who wasn't in the same room?

    Why? So you can tell me they wasn't involved with the deal? And not even in the same room!

    You are not happy with Dillian saying he.was offered less than what he made for Chisora fight.

    You claim he is.an unreliable source despite multiple interviews.

    You think he woukd publically lie when Hearn and Joshua can openly protest against Whyte's claims.

    I have seen no such protest from team AJ or Hearn regarding Whyte's.claims of a low offer.

    Now we know this fight would sell out Wembley and breal 1 million PPV's. This is extremely likely.

    Gotta be 30 mill ish in the pot right?

    How in Gods name is Whyte gonna get offered less than 5 mill out of that pot?

    And why in Gods name would he lie about it? He wouldn't... and Hearn could counter but he didn't.... he is off the opinion... if he wants it bad he"ll accept for a chance at the belts.

    How does it not make 30 ish?

    Is Povetkin and Parker better known than dillian in the UK?

    Do you even think about where the money comes from? The tickets? The demographic? The buyers?

    This is your problem..lack of thinking
