Whyte turns down AJ

ROFL!

Fury is 5 times the draw Whyte is, Tyson's next fight will be in Vegas and on Showtime PPV.

 

I feel you misread my post

Fury is definitely a big draw, and he's one of my favourite fighters who I've also met.

My point was about how well Matchroom have done with Whyte, they've turned him into someone who has sold more PPV's than Fury despite being the lesser fighter.

 

Just goes to show how good a job Matchroom have done with Whyte

 

Fcking casuals, man

 

If true, don't blame him

Hearn and Joshua are embarrassing

 

Dillian needs to grow a pair here, if he goes down the mandatory route (either AJ or Wilder) then he will be looking at 25%. If by low ball he means less than 25% then yes it is disgusting but I think 30% is probably his worth and surely he cannot expect much more than this. As mentioned before he will have the rematch clause so the ball is in his court to win the fight. Regardless, he will make retirement money (including hilltop villa in Jamaica) and the lad has only just turned 30. His people might feel that an A side fight on PPV against Ortiz is worth more than the 25% in which case he is right to hold out. If this is the case then they obviously do not think they will win the Joshua fight and a more winnable fight against Ortiz not only increases his retail value but also makes him more money.

 

I don't get it, Eddie Hearn has said that when it comes to Joshua (or any fighters) PPVs, Joshua owns the show and the various percentages come out of HIS pie. So in this case who makes the decisions, Joshua or Eddie/sky???. Whilst Whyte has to be given opportunities, Joshua is so big he dictates who gets the opportunities? Can you see why this model ensures we don't see the fights we want?

 

I can. But some of the Joshua fanboys can't get their heads around it.

 

Probably the best career decision for Whyte .Just stick with the WBC route. He's still number 1. Wait for his shot against Wilder, and fight a couple of journeyman. Whyte's improved, but he's still not durable enough, and has stamina issues dealing with the bodybuilder Joshua.
