    These stay busy jobs are not ppv's. He'd be as well fighting Dave Allen again or Gorman than a no mark like Franklin. Martin's rep in the UK is dogturd. Grandpa Arreola might do better than sick bed Povetkin but c'mon the casuals don't care about a 40 y/o Mexican.

    Whyte fought 5 months ago, does he really need a tick over?

    I don't mind a stay busy fight. I reckon Dazn will increase the price to £7 and get Whyte show in late October.

    Whichever bowl of Ambrosia is fed to him, after that, then what? I don't see where his career goes now, wait for a shot at the winner of Joshua v Usyk? Hope he gets to fight Wilder for the vacant WBC if Fury messes around? Others will be getting ahead of him soon.

    This is what happens when you turn down final eliminators and world title fights.

    He would have had his shot by now had he taken and beat Ortiz or Pulev and lets not even get into why he turned down the AJ fight.

    What's the consensus on turning the Joshua fight down? I thought at the time he turned it down because he basically didn't think he stood that much of a chance against Joshua. I don't think he is scared of Joshua, but wanted to tread as safely as possible to a world title shot and the whole plan, despite facing decent opposition, has blew up in his face. If you are offered a title shot you have to take it.

    LOL

    The Deluxe Pudding doesn't get out of bed before 1pm to train unless his next fight is on PPV, you can do that when you're a superstar like that you see same as Dereck '11 Losses' Chisora.

    Don't know the deatils but iff Dillian isn't a Matchroom fighter and contracted to DAZN he'll continue on the Sky PPV circuit well past October.

    I'm never paying to watch Dillian Whyte in a non title fight, unless you are there nobody should have to pay to watch Dillian Whyte fight, he's not a pull, he's not entertaining, he's not a particularly skilled fighter, he's just a Kebab Shop Scuffler, a Chicken Corner Brawler. Messy, uncoordinated, limbs all over the place with that massive melon on his shoulders. Quite frankly I now find watching him a weird experience.

    If all this Jake Paul shite has taught us anything it’s that if you put a main event on where the a side has real jeopardy and a very good chance of losing, people will watch. Watching Dillian Whyte face over matched bums with rematch clauses in the contracts = no interest, no jeopardy. No point. Dogsh1t

    I don't see why whyte has to fight on ppv every ****ing time, he is not a ppv fighter unless its against one of the top 3 or 4

    What has he done he has been sparked out twice struggled against the likes of helenius and Allen, beat a past best chisora and was seconds away from losing to.paint dry Parker

    Why he thinks he is a ppv star is beyond me

    Because he has headlined as part of 6 pay-per-view shows and has been the (perceived, at least) A-side on 5 of them.
