Hearn is bi polar I’m sure of it. Complaining of purse splits when Fury is the A side and Whyte is not ! Yet for years to get the Joshua fight you had to agree to the original purse split and also accept that same split for the rematch should you win the first fight. Hearn then hinted that Joshua would vacate the WBO belt unless Usyk agreed to an immediate rematch should he win,Usyk under WBO rules did not have to agree to an immediate rematch as he was mandatory. Usyk agreed to Hearns demands and so Joshua gets a second bite at the cherry whilst also stopping the Undisputed fight from happening between Usyk and Fury. The WBC will dictate what % Whyte will receive and nobody else,as well as the fact that the WBC clause that they can at there discretion dictate what % split the interim Champion will get. So until arbitration is over it’s simply a waiting game to see what the WBC decides .
How can they ‘Take’ a 35% split when nothing near that even been offered? Fury’s team demanding 80/20 split. The reason they pull the stunts they do in boxing is because there’s always dummies like you to eat up the spin.
This is great news for Whyte. His shoulder is all healed up so now there's no reason he can't fight Otto Wallin
He will do his other shoulder and pull out of that one. And go back to doing what he does best, moaning.
I think he does. Not because he's close to top Fury level, not at all. But he is close enough to scrappy Fury level to make it close on a matchfixroom card, and then all bets are off.
I'm all for Dylian Whyte getting his shot. He deserves it. But if he's not willing to take a lesser cut, screw him. Move on to Usyk/Joshua 2 winner.
I really can't wrap my head around this whole saga. Whyte gets made mandatory but takes the WBC to court anyway. Furys team makes a lowball offer. Whytes team respond by demanding half the purse (wtf!). It's all a mess and I'm sure there's more going on than we know about but it honestly feels like Matchroom don't really want it and are just messing around like Joshua got messed around last year. If Whyte is serious about this fight he accepts 25 or 30% and sells out the principality stadium, earning crazy money in the process. It's annoying because bull**** like this is the reason we never get the mega fights we want. If they just got on with it and fought in March we could have the undisputed in June. They won't and the undisputed can will get kicked another 12 months down the road.
I'll boil it down for you. Fury doesn't want to fight Whyte because there is no money in it (which he has said) and Whyte doesn't want to fight Fury because he'd rather fight some lower hanging fruit for a vacant belt. You have two guys that don't want o fight each other, so the fight is not happening. That is why all the strange behavior.
Whyte doesn’t want to fight for the belt. He knows he can’t beat anyone decent. Hence his shameless ducking of Wallin. He’s just trying to create a situation where he can pick up a vacant strap.
It's possible Whyte might get slightly more at the arbitration but more likely the 20% is accurate and he's wasted 6 months for nothing. Fury stay busy option in the meantime in Manchester although Kabayel does not excite me much. That said, Wallin was not supposed to trouble Fury any so who knows. A rematch with Wallin would sell.
Fury has been a con man his entire career and he's doing it to you all again. Notice how he has you all arguing over the purse split instead of saying that he is trying to duck the fight? He has barely fought in two years yet all of a sudden he HAS to fight in March? He had 5k fans in the arena in 2019 for the Schwarz fight yet it's Whyte, who has packed the O2 a couple of times, it's Whyte who doesn't deserve a better split? When it is already documented that the Interm Champ gets 45%? Yet again, Fury has you all stupidly arguing over the split and not calling him the latest Riddick Bowe. Insanity
I do feel like Whyte can get this fight if he wants to. Just go for a reasonable purse and get it done.
