    What a joke. Whyte is delusional. He ain't worth it.

    Remember when Whyte looked a fool for turning down $5m for an AJ rematch?

    Now he is asking for twice that to fight Fury!

    They are both FINISHED when Usyk takes AJ's mojo. Then Usyk and Fury will fight for all the mojo.

    Not at the price they will be demanding. There is a big difference in selling out an arena and selling it at a price that will cover the crazy money both side seems to demand. The PPV in Britain is cheaper than the US. I thinks 30-45 dollars? Whyte wants 10 million and Fury will be 15 to 20 Million. At this price they would have to sell a million PPV just to break even. This is just my opinion but I see 300 million in PPV numbers.

    Bob Arum is full of **** as usual. They just want to avoid the fight and fight Helenius.

    Give him the money, Fury Vs Whyte is a hugh fight! If not I really wouldn't mind seeing him fight Ruiz at all

    How do you know Whyte isn't demanding for those ridiculous numbers ? It sounds like something he'd do. Olu you're just biased as usual

    Look let me make it very clear I am not a Dillian Whyte fan nor do I even like him. There are those who like him but he is just not my type of guy. However I do know Bob Arum lies and in his own words under cross examination in court “yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth “. Seems to to be that instead of good faith negotiating with Whyte they want to avoid him and face Helenius who is not even a threat.

    Whyte deserves no more than $344,099.

    He will probably fight Ruiz. Ruiz is tailor made for him and Ruiz beat Joshua.

    It's the smart thing to do

    Whyte is the more lucrative fight because he guarantees solid UK Pay Per View buys and will enable Fury to sell out a stadium in the UK.

    Tends to be around 20-25£ no fight is ever higher than that appart from a major major fight e.g. may-pac, which is about 26$ I think or there abouts so selling a million isn't out of question, sure Whyte did half a mill in the first povetkin fight but depends where they fight bt or dazn as hearn doesn't deal with sky anymore bt don't promote the same way as sky and dazn barely do any promotion at all

    Dillian Whyte: Nobody wants to fight me! Nobody gives me a chance!
    Fury: Ok I'll fight you
    Whyte: I want
