Do not buy the Whyte fight.

He's a 41 year old has been ffs, it's a joke he's been regarded as even slightly dangerous.

 

Also suffered pretty badly with covid which would've sapped lots of his strength. Some feat to regain that in such a short space of time - even if he's had a little 'help' to do so.

 

Maybe they are lovers, he sees himself as his husband? I don't know but we shouldn't judge.

Dillian isn't married or with anybody as far as we know. I've never seen a picture of him with a woman.. have you?

 

No

£100k max for a Whyte non title fight sounds reasonable. If he won't fight for that then he won't fight and the boxing world misses nothing.

 

I thought Povetkin looked soft around the midsection on the scales today and to be honest, he was blowing out his ass after the pad work session at the open workout.

 

Agreed, I think covid will play a big part - especially when you compound that with Povetkin's age. I'm expecting a Whyte KO win.

 

Boxing fans are something else. Always complained through the years because the sport wasnt covered enough or had to wait too long for decent fights or it not being televised enough.

Now they get it all...everything they,ve ever wanted and now complaining because it costs them money or because they actually market and advertise boxing. The interviews/programmes in the lead up to the fights. The access people get to everything boxing is unbelievable atm. Theres never been a better time to be a boxing fan. Yet for some reason they,d rather go back to the days of not havjng it all because they want everything for nothing.

The reality of it is if these fights go back to saturday fight nights...theres no money to be made. If theres no money to be made...the boxing fan ends up suffering.

The simple reality of it is if you want to see these fights get the access to the fights you need to pay for them otherwise its back to the old days of moaning about not enough boxing coverage.

 

I noticed that too mate. Makes the fight even more of a farce than it already is.

 

How can there be "no money to be made" if Whyte-Povetkin 2 was on "saturday fight nights" ?
They get paid.
Or even if it was on BBC or Channel 5.

 

Your joking right?

You realise how much a training camp costs etc. Then that gets taxed. Hes fought his way through four or five top ten/fifteen guys in the whole world to get less than a footballer makes in a week.

Joshua made over 40 million for fighting ruiz after getting knocked out...yet whyte gets a 100,000 for povetkin.

Not sure you,d have much of a sport left if you need to go through all that whytes been through in his career...to get less than james milner gets in a week.

 

My issue with this fight is if Whyte gets KOd again then there’s bound to be another rematch in the Summer.

 

Povetkin looks in poor shape. Looks like a 40-something year-old who's lost muscle and added fat, understandable considering he's an old fighter who just came through a tough bout with Covid19.

I thought he looked shot in the first fight with Whyte, and nearly-shot against Hunter before that. He should have retired a few fights ago.
He might be a complete corpse for this one.
If Whyte gets KO'd again, we can call the curtains on both their careers.

 

Monthly subscribers to Sky, BT, Boxnation, Premier Sports and DAZN have already paid to watch.

I will watch the card tonight on BT Sport and tomorrow on BT Sport.

 

Yeah cause the bbc regularly put big time boxing on...what do you think it is...1985. I,d love to see channel 5,s budget for boxing as well while we,re at it. As i said above anyone think whytes msde s smart choice of career...getting smashed up in the gym...fighting 5 or 6 top ten/15 guys in the whole world...coming out missing brain cells to earn less than james milner earns in a week.

 

I hope Povetkin is juiced to the gills, Portugal/Dubai training camp style, and KO's Whyte brutally. Again.
