    Fury is a big name in the UK and the US. Whyte is a big name nowhere.

    But it's about where the money comes from in this fight, when it comes to a pursebid.
    That's what the split is meant for.
    This is going to take place in the UK, and be billed as an all British titlefight. The US income will be a footnote in this case, because it will be broadcasted in the afternoon there.
    Plus matchfixroom will promote Whyte over Fury for sure. There are nuances in this that make a 80/20 split ridicilous.
    Certainly when looking at the WBC rules here.
    It's 55/45 in case of WBC vs WBC interim.
    When there's a huge disparity in fighter marketability then the WBC might opt for a 60/40 split instead, or even 70/30.
    Even wider splits are considered when one fighter is a juggernaut fighting a non entity.

    You can't tell me that the WBC really believed that Fury is on par with Canelo, Floyd or Pac here, fighting a pushover.

    You're wrong. There's absolutely no mention of that in the current WBC rules. In fact, the current WBC rules specifically state that an interim champion isn't entitled to more of the split than any other regular mandatory. The interim belt is literally irrelevant when it comes to the split. The WBC rules are explicitly clear about that.

    Once upon a time, over a decade ago, interim champions were entitled to 45%, but the rule was changed a long time ago and you're spreading false and outdated information.

    Wbc is as crooked as they come and has been for as long as I remember . Look at all the favours they did for Wilder and Canelo. I wouldn't try to find logic in any of their decisions lol

    All of the other orgs are confirmed to have taken bribes.

    The WBC is the only org that's never been accused of that.

    So I'm not sure why you'd say they're crooked.

    because of their blatant favouritism of certain fighters? The fact their rules seem to be different for every fighter?

    The WBC's stated purpose is to help facilitate the biggest fights possible. That is their job. They are non-profit administrators hired by rival promoters to help facilitate big fights. There's nothing dishonest or illegal about that. So no, they're not crooked.

    Their rules are often flexible, to help give them the freedom to help facilitate the biggest fights possible.

    But they are also the only sanctioning body that was so corrupt they got sued almost to oblivion and only still exist right now because Rocchigianni decided not to take them for everything they had.

    Read:
    2.16 Division of Proceeds in a Purse Offer. The net purse offer (after deduction of all sanction fees payable to the WBC hereunder) shall be divided as follows:
    (a) first, 10% of the total shall be set aside as a bonus for the winner of the contest, then, of the remainder,
    (b) 70% of the remaining 90% shall be for the champion and 30% of the remaining 90% shall be for the challenger in title bouts; and
    (c) 50% of the remaining 90% to each contender in the case of vacant titles or elimination bouts; provided, however, that the WBC Board of Governors, may by a majority vote, authorize a modification of the division of purse offer proceeds between boxers in a purse offer in particular cases, such as consideration of outstanding marketing value of one of the boxers, as the WBC shall determine in its sole discretion. The modification of the split of the remainder shall be limited to 60-40% and 55-45%, except in the most exceptional circumstances, in which the split may be modified to 50-50% at the WBC's sole discretion.


    In a certain circumstances outside of the normal purse split, but to go 40-60, 55-45 or 50-50 in a exceptional circumstances ....
    I don't get why i quoted over things where i clearly explain.
    WBC clearly are begging for another lawsuit from Whyte.

    If Whyte goes down the litigation path again he will not win and that's his title chances gone.

    Quack quack dillian. Put your title shot where your mouth is.

    Whyte should consider himself lucky he's getting a shot at all.

    Well yes if you want to compare apple and oranges and cherry pick certain fights.

    When AJ and Fury were negotiating a fight would you have been happy if team AJ proposed a deal based on fighter earnings?

    AJ took home $60 mil from the Ruiz 2 rematch so on your logic as well as all the other AJ purses in his career it would mean at a minimum he should be getting double what Fury gets but really even more than that.

    The split should be based on the WBC rules for a mandatory challenger or interim champion.

    When the rules say the interim champion can get up to 45% and that champion has the box office numbers Whyte has showing he is bringing money to the fight there is no way 20% can be seen as a fair split.

    The WBC ruling makes it look like Whyte is some unknown fighter who has never drawn a dime to become mandatory challenger.

    Not sure where such confidence in the WBC comes from. Most people with a passing interest know the WBC are targeting Whyte and are corrupt as ****. Imagine what a professional team of lawyers will have been able to dig up.

    They don't even bother hiding their unethical behaviour for the most part, such as when a WBC board member also sat on the board for Wilder's favoured venue, and also acted as an advisor to the PBC. Conflicts of interest much. lol

    Even the American youtubers whilst finding Whyte's situation hilarious are honest about how obvious the WBC have been openly screwing him for years.

    The saga continues I suspect

    They might very well be begging for a lawsuit as their own rules clearly outline the 80-20 is not an option but lets be honest the WBC have bent over backwards to shaft Whyte hence Whyte's litigation against them. By Whyte challenging the 70-30 standard split he did allow them to mess with him again, he opened a door and the WBC slammed it in his face and whether it was legal or not he should of expected the worst based on previous behaviour by the WBC.

    They also know any litigation will likely take so long to resolve that Fury will either vacate or be stripped or God forbid WBC keep Fury as WBC champion while Whyte sues them in court stating the mandatory is somehow suspended until the lawsuit is dealt with.
