    :lol:


    How the **** should I know who will win the purse bid?
    It makes no difference to me.
    Anyone with a lot of money can bid.

    I can see you're getting a bit upset by all this now. Maybe time to take a break. :lol:

    :lol:

    You say you don't care.
    But you defend Whyte's complaining and battling with the WBC over that very same detail.
    The fight wasn't made a month ago because Whyte refused to agree or negotiate to a much higher percentage, at least 25% as an opening offer
    Instead he carried on petitioning, appealing, then battling, the WBC, to mandate more. But they came back with 20% as their answer.

    All the while, you interpret Whyte's refusal to get into realistic negotiations, as "Fury ducking". :lol:

    So you're stupid to claim you don't care about % when you absolutely claim the percentages offered was tantamount to a duck.

    But hey, HATE makes you dumb.
    Kids take note.

    But for @Ty is That Guy , hate on brother, hate on.

    Matchroomers are a touchy lot, I'll say that much.

    Lose their head if anyone remotely criticises anyone or anything to do with Matchroom.

    All anti-Whyte jokes aside I think he’ll get chinned in 2 rounds.

    Hearn didn’t actually seem that confident on winning the bid in the IFL interview he did earlier.

    Daniel Elchapohan is a dark horse for this purse bid

    Yeah it must be true if Eddie says so, the same guy that claimed that Dillian Whyte got up at the count of 8 in the first Povetkin fight.

    Eddie could tell his fans that the sky is green and they'd believe him.

    I don't see Fury denying it, in fact he seems to suggest that he is fighting Whyte next which backs up what Eddie said.

    DAZN have the advantage that they will be bidding for the global rights, they can then show the Fury-Whyte fight in the USA, Europe and Australia.

    Top Rank will have to rely on selling the rights to other territories. That is always tricky to value.

    DAZN and Matchroom will win the bid IMO.

    Who cares who wins the purse. Hopefully both make a lot of money

    Hearn doesn't seem confident. He's gone from saying they're going in hard to "not sure if we'll win it".

    Maybe Whyte doesn't fancy it. Who knows.

    I posted similarly earlier, but I forgot the obvious potential third contender: Probellum.

    Links to Fury - check (via MTK).
    Lots and lots of money - check.
    Willingness to buy their way to relevance to mask their (allegedly) dubious financing - check.

    I don't mind too much if either Queensberry/Top Rank or Matchroom win, both are established promoters who would put on a great show.

    I pray Probellum are nowhere near a fight of this size - just imagine the undercard.
