I don't think the live gate matters that much in fairness. Very round numbers, but let's say Whyte v Povetkin sold out the O2 or Manchester Arena...
I assume in this scenario it's Hearn saying he's no longer on PPV because he's not doing the numbers yes? In which case what can he do? Say he's...
I'm sorry, I don't really get the question. Are you asking what Whyte would do if Hearn said 'no, you can't be on PPV?' I mean, I assume Hearn...
Good post, but just to pick up on this, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. (I know you reference it, but I often hear people mention that...
In what way? It doesn't mean that quality (but broadly speaking unpopular) fights don't happen. You're holding Whyte up as an example of how far...
You keep saying things like 'Whyte is an average county side.' He's not, and the sole reason he isn't is because three men and a dog turn up to...
Con or not, it was incredibly popular. Haye was always a good self-promoter anyway. He looked the part, was articulate, was often in exciting...
And the rematch which did even bigger numbers?
To be fair, you do. It's just the way the sport is promoted. Same thing applies in boxing; the best don't necessarily get the coverage, but the...
What do you mean 'care more about boxing?' Just sounds like the same old tired nonsense from people moaning because they want everything cheaper....
You're acting like it's brand new. It's been in Britain for a quarter of a century and abroad for a lot longer than that. It's not going away...
But the entire point I'm making is that the peak of a sport in terms of talent and the peak in terms of popularity are not the same. Sometimes...
So if he's in a 'where does he go' scenario why not make the most of his opportunity and try to earn as much as he can? You say you know how...
Problem with the second line is that Whyte is already popular. More people paid to see him fight a guy like Dereck Chisora who lost nearly all of...
He won't. He'll have a contract with Arum who's just secured him the richest year he's had. He's not going to tear that apart and risk the...
