    Because Whyte "owns the show" and won't want to spend that kind of money on the undercard. Standard Matchroom fayre.

    If it's on normal DAZN UK and not PPV it's probably okay. Having said that, I don't think there will be many viewers.

    Probably 100k, maybe 150 at a push. About 100k below his minimum on Sky Box Office. But Dillians getting paid £1,750,000 for this so no work to promote the show but getting an earning for fighting a no body in the UK.

    Dillian’s not daft. He knows when he wins he got Joyce and Dubois on BT. And anyone he wants on Sky. And he will be the A side too

    That is a crazy high purse. Does anyone know how the purses work? What do we think Franklin will earn? And why does Whyte declare a low income for the fight, is that a tax dodge?

    Whyte should donate his purse to charity
    he made enough undeserved money this year
    I can't believe how many people have bought into Whyte over the years

    currently sure no one can serious consider him a top 10 heavyweight. & yet ring magazine have him top 5 !

    he's useless

    This is actually the perfect opponent for whyte. Franklin went the distance with pavel sour who has been stopped by many in the top 20 in a couple of rounds so he can’t punch much but will definitely give whyte some rounds in the bank. Also was once wbc youth champion so probably keeps whyte in the rankings.
    Could end up being a potential banana skin though as these are heavyweights and Franklin is a bigger man plus whyte has been stopped badly in 2 of his last 3 fights so could be damaged goods

    Struggling to see the point of this level of opponent. Says how mentally fragile Whyte must be.

    Get a KO, AJ wins by a KO then it's. 'Biggest fight in the UK koogs, bigger than the belts.'

    How ill did he look exactly?

    I mean he took massive shots without going down, and there are plenty of healthy fully grown males on this board that aren’t ill and wouldnt have taken those shots.

    And before someone says “oh but im not a boxer mate” well how do you train your chin
