If Fury can't sign Whyte or Joyce, how about Oscar Rivas?

Why not Rivas as a Fury opponent?

  1. Given that Whyte and Joyce are unavailable, I would like to see this fight

    Oh god , how disappointing up to this point I enjoying this but purile phrase....so immature...
    You've put over some really good & imo valid points about Whytes situation & unfair treatment. My point about him taking less just the once to get the belt around his waist cannot be equated to buying a car, house etc, totally different . To answer your question working for less, yes I have done many times, taken lower money to secure a contract or bought items in a job lot I didn't want to get what I really wanted & sell off unwanted item at trade....its means to an end...just depends whether you believe in the plan...

    I don't mind Rivas as a fighter but there would be absolutely zero interest in that fight.

    Everyone negotiates pricing in the world.

    Everyone.

    From 5 year olds to 75 year olds.

    For every type of item you can imagine. Everyone has their price. So why give Whyte flak on asking for 45% in the biggest fight of his career? That is fair. The WBC made 45% the guide.

    Be fair mate, be honest. It’s not a fair comparison to put yourself in Whytes shoes with your mentality, becAuse for you... millions might be a lot of money. For Whyte it is routine now.. so he knows his worth.

    everything is relative, for me a house cost 500K i wouldnt sell it for 250k.

    If you gave the house to someone in poverty and told them to sell it, they would sell it for maybe 20k because that would be a lot of money for them, and then if you stop them doing that they would say YOUR being difficult jus Let me make 20k.

    this is what your doing for Whyte situation sayin he should take whats given and shut up.

    According to the chart that I looked at, he earned 4 million once, 1.5 million a time or two, and everything under that a million or under, so making "millions," in the plural, for one fight, is not a routine. It is new.

    I can't find an exact figure, but Fury got a $30 million guarantee for the last fight.

    So, the disparity there is what we are talking about. Fury makes more in a fight than Whyte makes in a career. He has to understand that if he demands 45%, there won't be enough money for Fury to be interested.

    This is not "bias," this is business.

    Just saying.

    That actually supports my original points further, in that Fury doesn't need the money as much.

    It's so weird how hard people are making excuses for Fury, to the point that I can comfortably say if the tables were turned, people would be shooting Whyte down for not giving Fury 45%.

    The hate for Whyte on here clouds all rational, coherent thinking.

    There guys fight for money. It is not a matter of your or anyone else's judgment of what he "needs." Whyte doesn't bring a name to the table that is going to get him 45%.

    And I like the guy.
