    Ball is in the fat bum's court now. Let's see him accept the fight with open arms or he should be banished from the sport.
    Aj and Whyte both losing in space of 2 months, Hearn will be looking like Lex Luthor come summer time.

    At this rate, Usyk v Joshua 2 still more likely to happen before Fury v Whyte. I’m another one finding it strange that Whyte’s not tarkin’ trash already and threatening Fury with maximum violence.. if he wants it he can’t get it zzzzzzz

    Exactly. It's an enormous pay day for Whyte - especially with the win bonus that's being reported. Absolutely huge incentive. Very out of character that he hasn't commented, he's usually very active on social media.

    Also no word from Hearn from what I can see - I think this has blindsided them, probably expected to win purse bids.

    Eddie has played a blinder, he really has.

    1) Whyte has got his biggest payday yet.
    2) He's cleaned Wazza out. This will flop big time.
    3) Tyson doesn't get to fight a C-Level fighter.
    4) AJ's rep is still intact from not stepping aside and he's fighting the hardest fight in the division. Again.
    5) It's not on Sky. So who cares? BT or whoever will take a gigantic loss on this.

    This is the final hurrah of Wazza. Eddie is a genius.

    Interesting take - I’d agree perhaps if Hearn hasn’t put up a big offer himself.

    I don’t think this will flop - it’s a big domestic fight.

    Gonna be £29.95, maybe £34.95 if they can get a decent undercard. It won't be a 10pm start thats for sure. Its worth the extra cash for the loss of Bellew in this show.

    Great work Frank

    That’s true. It’s good it won’t be filled with MR spin doctors. BT have pretty good pundits so hopefully a decent show.

    But it wasn't as big as FW's.

    If AJ fights at Wembley still have seats empty, guaranteed this will. AJ is our biggest star in this country, Tyson has never done huge numbers, and Whytes last two fights (I believe) have had poor attendance. And £30+ to see Whyte? No chance.

    You can't see it right now, but Eddie has let FW go a tad gaga with the money and that's all she wrote.

    Interesting to see how it pans out. Joshua obviously biggest ticket seller but I don’t think there’s a huge amount in it now - Fury’s pulling power is totally different from earlier in his career and this is a pretty fun fight. I think it’ll do well.

    Minus John Fury though. Unless of course they put Big John v Fake Bro on the undercard.

    Maybe. But you think Tyson would sell out Wembley against Pulev?

    Frank's loses the bids,

    Ahh he is dead, he can't even win on an 80-20 split

    Frank wins bids, Eddie played a blinder, Frank's dead.

    Right

    Hmm, interesting question - my gut instinct says no. Depends what was on the line.
